Male fertility requires that the testicles produce enough healthy sperm, and that the sperm is ejaculated effectively into the vagina and travels to the egg. Tests for male infertility attempt to determine whether any of these processes are impaired.
You may have a general physical exam, including examination of your genitals. Specific fertility tests may include:
Semen analysis. Your doctor may ask for one or more semen specimens. Semen is generally obtained by masturbating or by interrupting intercourse and ejaculating your semen into a clean container. A lab analyzes your semen specimen. In some cases, urine may be tested for the presence of sperm.
Hormone testing. You may have a blood test to determine your level of testosterone and other male hormones.
Genetic testing. Genetic testing may be done to determine whether there's a genetic defect causing infertility.
Testicular biopsy. In select cases, a testicular biopsy may be performed to identify abnormalities contributing to infertility or to retrieve sperm for assisted reproductive techniques, such as IVF.

Spanish term (edited):
Nunca BT
No BT (no blastocyst transfer)
Por el contexto diría que se refiere a la transferencia de blastocistos, BT por sus siglas en inglés; uno de los procedimientos utilizados en fecundación in vitro.
A blastocyst transfer is a technique, incorporated with in vitro fertilization (IVF), designed to increase pregnancy rates and decrease the risk of multiple pregnancy
https://www.sdfertility.com/resources/infertility-treatments...
La transferencia de embriones en estado de blastocisto es uno de los pasos de la Fecundación In Vitro y consiste en dejar evolucionar los embriones en un medio en condiciones especiales hasta su desarrollo a blastocisto en día 5 o día 6 (desde el día de la punción)
https://www.gruporecoletas.com/noticias/transferencia-blasto...
antes de la transferencia de blastocisto (BT) puede mejorar las tasas de implantación y embarazo.

Discussion
Desde una perspectiva estrictamente médica me sigue resonando extraño encontrar referencia a una ausencia de biopsia testicular en el contexto planteado, pareciendo más razonable que BT sea una referencia a un procedimiento específico de fecundación no llevado a cabo con anterioridad (a pesar de haber sufrido ciclos infructuosos de FIV previos) y que podría plantearse como una opción alternativa a tener en cuenta para intentar un embarazo con éxito en este caso.
¿Has conseguido info adicional en relación al texto original? ¿Has podido confirmar la referencia a una biopsia en este caso? Gracias de antemano. ¡Saludos!
Historia de un varón en una clínica de fertilidad.
Previo a sus antecedentes personales se señalan los relevantes para el proceso.
"La pareja ha llevado a cabo varios ciclos infructuosos de fecundación in vitro. No BT".
Y a partir de ahí la historia personal.
La biopsia es un procedimiento diagnóstico y terapéutico. En este caso, como terapéutico no tendría sentido señalarlo sin especificar previamente la causa de la infertilidad. Como diagnóstico sí lo tendría pero solo si esta resulta pertinente en relación a la causa de infertilidad, que debería señalarse.
Si se señala la causa, aportaría información relevante al caso para bieninterpretar "BT".
Si no se señala, la opción planteada (no transferencia de blastocistos previa) sigue pareciendo tener sentido.
Así pues, con Neil y Joseph; ¿algo más de contexto?
Y disculpas en cualquier caso por las conclusiones precipitadas :))
Y acabo de ver en comentario a respuesta previa que se trata de la historia de un hombre :))
If you're concerned about confidentiality (I've had one person say this when I asked for complete sentences) you can change numbers slightly, or leave out or change a word or two (while retaining the meaning) so that the text doesn't look exactly like the original.
Can you give the actual context (just cut 'n' paste it) rather than your English translation of the original Spanish (I'm not too sure what you mean by "the couples has [sic] suffered failed IVF"), then we can decide for ourselves if they are male, female or whatever, thanks?
