[quote=Anonymous]I also have worried about ICSI. It is documented to have a higher instance of birth defects and I do not like how the fertility clinics gloss over it. My child has a birth defect and was IVF/ICSI. I really don't think ICSI was the cause, but the truth is that I will never know. All in all, its only cosmetic, can be 'fixed' and if ICSI is what I needed to have a child, then so be it.

Pregnant now with my second and don't know yet if we will have the same issue, but we needed IVF again and tried without ICSI this time. My non-ICSI eggs fertilized but the first ones we transferred did not get me pregnant and I miscarried on the second try. We had done 1/2 with ISCI and 1/2 without and I am now pregnant with an ICSI one. (This is the route I would go and then put back the non-ICSI ones if they fertilize.)

I'm telling you this so that you do consider it, BUT I think I am in the vast minority here, regardless of reason. So, yes, if something comes up with your child, and you use ICSI, you will wonder, but ultimately it will be ok...better than ok if you get your baby![/quote]
