Has anyone used Calcium Ionophore ?

I have been offered this for my current round to help with fertilisation rates. I am set to get 5 embryos. Last time one out of the three total I got didn’t fertilise. Seems like a no brainier but worried about any contraindications.

we used it and had amazing fertilisation results. Sadly my egg quality is not great but in terms of fertilisation it worked well for us x
