[quote=Anonymous]We have unexplained infertility - though my husband's morphology numbers weren't great they were still definitely workable. Because we'd never had a positive pregnancy test, my doctor thought that there could be something wrong re: fertilization and our IVF cycle pretty much proved it. They retrieved 15 eggs, 14 were mature....but only 7 fertilized the first day. (We had one more fertilize late.) So while only around 50 percent of the mature eggs fertilized (a number less than average), ALL of them made it to day 5 blast and 6 of the 8 were genetically normal. For us, IVF was diagnostic - there was almost certainly something wrong re: fertilization and if we hadn't done ICSI, we may not have had anything fertilize at all. So...given that the risks of ICSI are pretty small....I'd do it again in a heartbeat.[/quote]
