Success after IF

ICSI

Who had this procedure with IVF? I had my IVF consult today and RE is recommending this to us for the first IVF. Because I am unexplained and DH sperm is great, I ovulate on meds and have had great cycles and can't get pregnant he doesn't want to take any chances with eggs not fertilizing. I should mention I've had 6 IUI's, all great cycles, just no pregnancy.

I'm OK with it but the mentioning of genetic defects, etc scares me a bit with ICSI. Are there any real high risks? The RE said it's very minimimal, not enough to not consider doing it.

Thanks!

Re: ICSI

  • I did ICSI. Of course our issue is MFI so we had no choice. Some people ICSI half. But I agree with your RE I think the risks are so low. I would do ICSI even if I didn't have to, just to ensure they fertilize. Good Luck!
  • Severe MFI here -- we did ICSI and our babies are healthy and normal :)

  • We did ICSI because of sever MFI. Below is my perfect baby girl! After 6 IUIs I can see why they would want to do that. Good luck to you!

  • We did ICSI and it was a success!  My RE pretty much does ICSI with all patients.  But we were dealing with mostly my problems, but low morph too.  Best of luck to you!

  • We did ICSI - due to MFI. I think the chances are very low for defects.
