Has viable sperm ever been extracted post humously and used successfully - 5 days after death, if the body is kept cool in the mortuary? We have been told that it is worth trying. I know the standard is 36 to 72 hours but my daughter suffered a miscarriage last month and her husband died unexpectedly on Tuesday. They wanted a child so much.
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor, thanks for posting this. Sorry to hear this loss. Hope you get enough strength to combat this loss. I read your question fully and understood the situation, but frankly speaking it's not a possible thing. I've seen so many such infertility cases being a senior doctor, but 5 days post death is next to impossible. Some may advise in order to calm you down but I'm being frank and telling you the truth. Basically all the cells die, maximum by say 24 hours including sperms. So there's no possibility. Hence, I suggest you to not give a try. Hope I'm not rude or bad to you. Get back to me in case you need any further help. Take care.
