hey hi and hello Has anyone used ICSI during egg fertilization? How did it go? Complications? Damaged eggs/embryos?? Just looking for experiences you may want to share... 
We had our ER today and all went great. 17 retrieved, 13 fertilized using ICSI.

    Our clinic required ICSI with frozen sperm. We had 19 retrieved and 14 fertilize, ended up with 4 embryos. We didn't have a choice so I didn't do much research on it. That's a pretty great feet rate, congrats!

    We didn't end up having ICSI done for our first fresh cycle, so I can't comment on that.  That's a great ER number though and also a great fert report!

    Pretty much the same story here. We had already prepaid for it "just incase" but never researched it further. Now I'm a googling fool.

    Waiting for our day one phone call from the ER... waiting sucks btw.
