When under going IVF did you do

Question

IVF did you do" />

Answer

Our first round of IVF was in 2018 and my husband and I were pretty naive, we didn’t know anyone who had gone through it. I also wasn’t on this app to read stories or anything. I should’ve done more research. Basically our RE said he didn’t think we needed it as we both looked good. My husband had slightly lower volume but otherwise all normal. So we trusted our doc. We had 29 retrieved, and we got a call the next day that 0 fertilized. Let me tell you it was one of the worst days, I can still remember the feeling, it was terrible!! They tried rescue ICSI and we spent the next several days just agonizing whether any would make it or not. Thankfully we had 1 blast frozen which is now my daughter. My sweet miracle!! We could’ve had more blasts, but either way I am so grateful to my first clinic for my daughter, but it still feels raw and when we decided to try for #2,  we switched clinics. Our new clinic does ICSI as standard practice, and our new RE couldn’t believe what happened to us. If anything, ICSI at least half of your eggs. You don’t want to come out with nothing. Our second round went so much better. Out of 24, 12 were mature, 11 fertilized and we ended up with 10 embryos. So we still do not know what our issue is, best guess is his sperm just doesn’t like my eggs/not compatible. Or maybe my eggs don’t like him, no clue. During our first round, the embryologist said the next morning his sperm was literally just swimming around my eggs. No penetration. It was bizarre and the last thing we expected to happen, we learned a lot. ICSI was our saving grace.

Answer

My clinic only does icsi. We had very high fertilization rates

Answer

Icsi, clinic’s standard process.

Answer

Definitely ICSI. We ended up with a great collection of blasts. We have MFI and ICSI was what my doctor said was the plan; he was right

Answer

Icsi. The dr believes the reason we couldn't get pregnant was due to "his sperm does not like my egg". We only had 7 eggs and wanted to optimize all chances.

Answer

Icsi, it is my clinics standard of care for everyone and all ivf clinics should be moving that way. It increases chances of fertilization and why wouldn’t someone want the best odds when they are going through ivf.

Answer

ICSI! It is my clinic’s standard for everyone, but we also were MFI diagnosis (low morph), so it was critical to our success. I doubt we would have ended up with any fertilized/blasts with conventional IVF. Our embryologist even commented in our report that finding adequate sperm for ICSI was difficult.

Answer

ICSI was standard in our clinic which is why we did it.

Answer

ICSI is my clinic's standard practice.  Much higher fertilization rate!

Answer

I did both. We did 17 eggs with icis and 10 with conventional. All 27 fertilized.
