Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if special types of cells called round spermatids can be gathered from men with non-obstructive azoospermia and used (in absence of elongated spermatids and spermatozoa) to reliably and effectively create pregnancy with a procedure called Round Spermatid Injection (ROSI). This process is similar to In Vitro Fertilization, or 'IVF'. In addition, this study wants to test the safety of ROSI and see what effects (good and bad) it has on embryo created from this method.
