Reproductive outcomes with donor sperm in couples with severe male-factor infertility after intracytoplasmic sperm injection failures.

Couples with severe male infertility factor (azoospermia or extreme oligoasthenospermia) and a history of unsuccessful ICSI cycles benefit from treating with donor sperm. ICSI fertilization, embryo viability, and progression of the embryo to the blastocyst stage are significantly deteriorated by semen parameters. The prognostic factors identified may help couples plan their treatment and prepare for their parenthood journey.
