Can it be possible to have ivf if me and my husbad have both been sterilized?

Yes: Your husband can have sperm surgically retrieved (epididymal sperm aspiration or testicular biopsy) by a urologist. This sperm can be used for IVF with ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) where we inject one sperm into each egg. IVF bypasses your tubes - we take eggs from your ovaries, fertilize them, and put embryos back inside you, so 'tied' tubes is not a problem for IVF treatment.
