Ali - A little story about ICSI from my RE. During my first consultation we discussed ICSI and its pros and cons. He told me that a woman (that very day) got the news that only one of her eggs had fertilized. This woman had refused ICSI even though her hubb's counts were very low. See, it costs an extra $2,000 if you want ICSI. I'm not sure if she didn't do it because of the money or for other reasons. But I guess it must have been devestating to hear that only 1 egg took, when if they had done the ICSI they probably would have had more.

My RE told me that I probably don't need it because of hubb's good swimmers. But that story makes me nervous. So I say, go girl. You won't have to worry about if your kids are going to want to play together nicely in the pool (er dish). That would take a lot of the stress off. I'm thinking about making them do it even though I don't technically need it.

Anney - Thanks for the encouragement and good luck to you as well.

Cazz and Melissa - It is nice to have so many of us starting at the same time. I hope the fertility gods are smilling on us.
