Hi Mels,

The reason we did ICSI is becuase my DH's swimmers and my eggs do not have the same chemical match. In simpler words, he does not have the pin number or the key to get through the door. Also he has low sperm count.

Since we started the IVF treatment my DH has been taking Menevit. It has helped so much with the quality of his swimmers and you can visually see the difference in the appearence. Menevit is availble from most chemists or can be ordered in. It is the brother drug to Elevit.

I am one year younger than you are (30) and because we are young and this is a male factor for us, that is why we produce high volumes of eggs. We are healthy young women.

If I were you, I would 200% stick to the ICSI.

On my first EPU, I got 20 eggs - 19 mature, 1 immature. Out of the 19 I ended up with 4 quality embyro's for transfer. Transferred 2 froze 2.

This EPU I got 26 eggs, again 19 mature, 7 immature. Out of the 19 I got 7 quality embyro's for transfer, Transferred 2 and froze 5.

I asked FS yesterday at transfer if I should be aiming for quality rather than quanity and he said it does not make a difference either way. Odd's are still the same.

Hope this helps.
