In the details provided, Dr. Rawashdeh stated that a woman and her husband had been attempting to conceive for over sixteen years through multiple failed attempts at IVF, spanning five different procedures. Due to financial constraints, as well as the husband's inability to provide fresh semen samples, their efforts ceased after unsuccessful trials.

It was then revealed that the husband had had a frozen sperm sample in a hospital from 16 years prior, which Dr. Rawashdeh urged them to provide. The frozen sample was successfully thawed, resulting in viable sperm.

After a specified period following the embryo transfer, the wife underwent a pregnancy test which yielded a positive result, Amman Net reported.
