Wouldn't think so: I don't see why you would consider an immotile sperm viable. If they are defective to the point their energy has been exhausted & can no longer move, I consider them worthless. The process of moving inside the ovum to fertilize it takes energy. The whole idea makes no sense to me.

With blocked tubes,: this is often the best recommendation. Discuss with your doctor, but I would agree this may be your best chance for pregnancy.
