Icsi

[SmilingIrishIs]

I'm old (42) and my husband has poor morphology.
We did ICSI with our first cycle 38 eggs, 35 fertilized, BFP (DD born 7/07)
We just did ICSI again to TTC#2, 18 eggs, 18 fertilized, we only transferred 1 embie and BFN, but I still think ICSI is a god send!

We did ISCI with both of my IVF's because of DH's extreme sperm issues. Our 1st cycle, we only had 4 embys to transfer and now have ds almost 8. With my 2nd cycle, we had 12 embys to transfer and only used 4 of them. We now have 6 yr old twins and none of my kids have birth defects. ISCI was our only way to get pg and thank GOD everyday for our blessings. We donated the 8 that we didn't use to couple/s who couldn't conceive.

Thanks SO MUCH!!! I'm pregnant with twins right now (11 weeks) and I have been worried about it. It's good to hear success stories.

Wow!!! I'm so happy to have found some info on ICSI other then Google!!!! We were told a couple of years ago that we should do ICSI because of DH's extremely low count. After talking to our RE last year we have decided on 6 IUIs, lap and then IVF maybe with ICSI. I always wondered about this form of tx because nobody I have talked to has ever done it and I've had trouble finding info on it. Even on my own clinic's site, there really wasn't anything on it. I was shocked!! Anyway, the reason for the low count is a varicocele which is fixable through surgery. We just got the surgery scheduled for Feb 13 and then will go on to do IUI#3 after that. We have had 2 IUI's both BFN. I'm hoping to have a pos one coming soon because they are a lot cheaper. LOL I thank you all for all your info on ICSI. Good luck to everyone!!

I'm currently pregnant with an ICSI baby! my husband has a blockage they couldnt remove so they aspirated sperm from behind it... they were plentiful and swam fine but they used icsi and we got a 90% fert rate and my little embryo stuck so it works... so far no problems and although there is a small statistical chance i've never heard of an actual problem.... i have heard some clinics get more boys than girls from icsi but thats nwither here nor there!
Good luck and keep faith while you go through this i'm a huge believer that positive thought really helps. (so is my doctor)
