Medical report. Immediately before this, it says the couples has suffered failed IVF cycles. Immediately after this, it lists the patient's history (e.g. no alcohol, no allergies, no chronic diseases, etc.)

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.

Nunca BT
No BT (no blastocyst transfer)


Explanation:
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.

[Lo que se estaría indicando en este caso es que la paciente nunca ha sido sometida a transferencia de blastocistos aunque haya tenido intentos previos -y fallidos- de fecundación in vitro]
