[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have just started our first IVF cycle, and are trying to decide whether or not to do ICSI. We are both 35 and have been trying to conceive for about three years. We have unexplained infertility. All of our test results are really good - sperm numbers are great, no apparent issues with eggs, ovulation, etc. We did expectant management for a while and then tried three IUIs. We have never had a pregnancy. We do not plan to do genetic testing so we don't need to do ICSI. But our RE suggested we consider it since we have never had a pregnancy, which could mean there is some issue with fertilization. We are unsure what to do. On the one hand, even though we understand the increased risks from ICSI are small, we would still prefer to avoid them if possible. On the other hand, it would suck to go through the full retrieval cycle and end up with few or no viable embryos. Has anyone been in a similar position? Any advice appreciated.[/quote]
