Does a man with tied tubes still have sperm that can be taken for in-vitro fertilization?

Question

can sperm be extracted without a vasectomy reversal? Is sperm still present/produced?

Answer 1

If you and your partner decided to try to get pregnant and have another child after a vasectomy, you could get a vasectomy reversal.  The reversal allows sperm to regain s***n, and thus allows impregnation.  It takes an average of 12 months from the date of vasectomy, for a pregnancy to occur.   The other option lies in sperm retrieval used in combination with in-vitro fertilization.  This is where the sperm will be retrieved from the male, and the egg retrieved from the female where they will be combined in a laboratory, and implanted directly into the uterus.  If the female has fertility issues as well, this will likely make the process a bit more difficult, and decrease the chances of pregnancy in the end.  

Answer 2

Yup.  They can be taken out via a needle.  I read about it online.  Its not as good as the old fashion way of having children but it can work.

Answer 3

If sperm is still present, it can be removed in a process call TESE - testicular sperm extraction.  Because such a small sample is removed (compared to a man who has not had a vasectomy ejaculating), they will also need to do a process called ICSI - this injects the precious sperm they gathered into the center of an egg retrieved in the IVF process.
