We are now having ICSI

[Me_and_him]

Hi all,

My hubby and I have signed our consent forms, had all bloods and now we are waiting for my next period to call for availability. We have been informed that the embryologist thinks that ICSI would be a better route for us than IVF as hubby has low morphology. Anyone else got experience of this?

Lots of love and light to you all xx

Hi Me_and_Him. Good to know things are moving for you now. I've been in the infertility business for many years now, and one of the biggest markers was when we could do ICSI. "My" first ICSI baby qualified with Honours at university last year, and I first met him as an embryo!! Just wanted to wish you both well, and of course for success. Diane

Hi

Just started first ICSI treatment myself as my husband too has low morphology. It’s all happened very quickly as I was put on short protocol (5 weeks from the start of my period to egg collection).

The only difference from IVF is that they inject the sperm rather than let them do their thing, made sense for us with having morphology.

Hope it all works out for you x

I’m happy we went with icsi. 90%+ fertilisation rate with it.

We had IVF 1st cycle and ICSI 2nd cycle and got our BFP in 2016. (We also got 3 frosties for our 3rd cycle from the ICSI round but unfortunately this cycle wasn't successful)... ICSI worked for us over IVF! Good luck and welcome to the rollercoaster! 🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞 Xx
