Varicocele
Hi everyone, We've been ttc over 3 years (MFI) and had a failed
icsi
cycle (one fresh fail one frozen) with nothing left in the freezer. We found out my OH had a grade 2 varicocele in his left testicle.

Follow up consultation - really bad!
Basically during the last cycle they could see my eggs were really poor quality and fragmented and also the sperm didn't bind properly during
ICSI
.

Ivf vs. ICSI
After two failed attempts with ISCI (I have a low AMH and am 43), I have sought the opinion of another FS. He said his protocol would be IVF over ISCI (DH sperm is normal), as ISCI involves piercing the shell of the egg. Has anyone has a better result with the IVF option over ISCI? Thanks!

1 or 2 embryos transferred?
It’s my first
ICSI
cycle and I have 2 frozen blastocysts - 1 is 5BB and the other 4BB. My doctor has asked if I want 1 or both transferred: I am 29, it’s my first round of IVF and will be my first transfer as I didn’t have a fresh transfer after egg collection due to the lining of my womb.

Embryo numbers drop day 1 to day 3.
This time we did long protocol with
icsi
still on gonal f and it seems to be taking a similar route. My AMH is 12.6, I'm 36 with a 5 year old son conceived naturally, so I am secondary infertility, unexplained. Has anyone had any similar results with their day 3 embryos?

I’m going to give it one more try 😬
We had a successful
icsi
baby in 2016 but have had three failed frozen ET’s since. I’ve tried to get on with my life but something keeps pulling me back to have one more try. Even though we haven’t really got the money to.

First ivf round with promising start turning to zero blasts to freeze. Advice or shared stories for similar experiences please ☺️
Just completed 1st cycle - pleased with 8 of 9 eggs fertilised via
ICSI
. However, totally blind sided with Day 3 updates showing either poor grade (3) or reduced cells. None made to Day 5 freeze. One early blast but apparently too poor to freeze.

Cavitating morula transfer day 5- success stories?
I went abroad to have an egg donor cycle (donor is 27 years old with a 3 year old daughter) and it went horribly wrong. 13 eggs retrieved, 10 mature fertilised with
ICSI
, and I ended up with a cavitating morula on day 5 to transfer. All others have arrested.

Before and post transfer tips please
Hi ladies I am currently on my first
ICSI
cycle. I couldn’t have a fresh transfer after my egg collection as my lining was too thin. We have 2 frozen embryos and I think I will have my FET some time next week.

2ww, 7dp3dt, feels like AF, feels same as last time, think it is game over :(
I am 39 years old and have just gone through my second round of IVF, this time with
ICSI
. Only got six mature enough eggs, only two fertilised. Per embryologist 'top quality' embryos, both were transferred back in at 3 day stage a week ago.

Send positive vibes
They retrieved 18 mature eggs and 11 fertilized via
icsi
. Yesterday was Day 3 and I received the report. Out of 11 embryos, only 3 are left. I am feeling defeated. The transfer is tomorrow and I feel like I won't have anything to transfer.

Anyone had a mature follicle size 12-13mm?
I.e a follicle that fertilised via IVF or
ICSI
without being matured in a lab. Thanks

2% normal form for ICSI
We are doing
ICSI
and our doctor said it’s fine and not cause of concern...but I’m wondering if that means that his DNA is damaged/abnormal in that 2%? Has someone been in the same situation or has any knowledge on this please? Thanks a lot ❤️

Sperm freezing for ICSI
Due to delays from our clinic neglecting to contact us after tests and then Covid, we are 18 months+ Into our journey and due to start my first cycle of
ICSI
at the end of this month. He is having his sperm frozen on Thursday. They told him on the phone to abstain for 2-7 days.

Waiting for transfer - any stories of 2 day transfers?
We didn’t get to this stage last time because all 12 eggs collected failed to fertilise - we’ve gone with
ICSI
this time. So this is the furthest we’ve ever been in the whole 4 and a half year process so it is a proper good milestone to have reached!

Round 2 tomorrow!
We need to try
ICSI
and not IVF due to failed fertilisation last time. Reaching out to see if anyone is starting next few days and will be in sync? Love x
