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.
