Brief Answer:
You have to choose IVF techniques.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
The best option which you may have at present with quadriparesis , assuming that your testicular function is normal with normal sperm production, you can opt for a procedure technique of IVF called TESA(Testicular Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) + ICSI ( Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) followed by EMBRYO TRANSFER into uterus.
In simple terms with TESA, sperms shall be aspirated in a pipette and then washed for better concentration and then a healthy sperm shall be identified. This sperm would be transferred directly into the OVUM ( harvested from your wife during ovulation time through oocyte harvesting technique- involving ultrasound guided ovum aspiration). Once the fertilisation occurs , then the embryo is cultured as test tube baby and when it is 8 celled stage , then it is transferred into the mother's womb for implantation under medical support.
Or you may try for TESA + IUI ( intrauterine insemination) where sperms after aspiration are washed and directly deposited into the female uterus with a pipette.Here the oocyte harvesting is not done. But the chances of sperm fertilising ovum remains 30-35% only, as per international statistics.
I hope i have answered your query in detail,
Regards
