IUI vs IVF vs ICSI ???

[Cuddlepie]

Very interesting thread. I was just thinking this very question myself this monring what to do for this cycle.

We have done two IVF cycles, we don't have fertilization problems however one thing I observed is there is a big drop off from D3 to D5 blasties. DH's sperm has good count good mobility, normal range of morphology but later on we found his SCSA dNA test was 30% which is high. This cycle he has improved his result to 10%, so FS still suggest to go with IVF, this is to assume that DNA result Was the cause of the result of the first 2 cycles's poor results.

But with seeing that people normally getting a lot more frosties out of number of eggs, I was tempered to use ICSI. FS suggested IVF his reason being, if there is no fertilization issues, there is no need to stress out the embyros to manually do this. One thing it is causing fragmentation of the embies, another is 'nautral screening' process that we are bypassing...

So now I am really torned whether to use IVF or ICSI...that is the question to answer.

But I was a bit surprised that clinic would go straight into ICSI without considering all factors, seems like doing a short-cut for me..
