Testicular Sperm May Improve Pregnancy R...

Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh
About this episode
I love sharing the latest studies with you. I'm so excited to interview Dr. Blake Evans on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast today to share his published findings about testicular sperm and IVF outcomes. Testicular sperm (or sperm taken from the testicle as opposed to ejaculated sperm) in some cases may improve the rate of blastocyst development and pregnancy rates for those who have first tried IVF unsuccessfully with ejaculated sperm.

I'm delighted to have Dr. Evans on the podcast to share his findings, and to talk about what you can do to optimize sperm quality and increase your own IVF success rates.
