If fragmentation continues to be a problem, then you may want to look into what is called extended ICSI or ICSI with polscope. Basically with ICSI they run the risk of injecting the sperm right through the part of the egg where the genetic information is located. They use a different part of the egg to orient it for the ICSI process, and for most women this will be fine, but for others it's different. We used extended ICSI after our first cycle where we had quite a lot of fragmentation issues and got better results from it. More blasts, better quality. Using the polscope they fertilise the eggs under a special light so they can see exactly where the genetic information is and avoid it. Most of my bits where in a different spot to where they assume they will be, so it was a definite bonus.
I hope all of that makes sense. Don't know if WIVF have polscope available, though.
