Does ICSI have a better live birth rate or does it help with implantation?

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:32:53 -0500

I am again attempting an IVF in England and wondering what to do; IVF or ICSI. I will be working with frozen sperm and yet because we have produced good blastocyst embryos in the past, my doctor thinks that I have as good a chance with IVF as ICSI. (My problem seems to be more with implantation than egg production; I recently had a hysteroscopy which removed scar tissue from my uterus.) However, will ICSI still give me a better chance? Does it help with implantation? It would cost me another 700 pounds (about $1500). Is it worth it? My donor's sperm is quite good too.

insemination???

and when you answer my question it is important for you to know we are working with frozen sperm and it doesn't live for more than 48 hours in the most ideal situation.

2nd IUI

I am on CD7. I am taking clomid on days 5-9. The nurse told me to come in on the 5th for an ultrasound. Isn't that a little late? Also, what are he chances of me getting pregnant since I am fine and we are using donor sperm. I know it was 20 percent before clomid but does it increase with it.

Post Thaw Sperm Count

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 12:05:38 -0600

Dr. Q,

I just underwent my first iui. Sperm count was 47 million before freezing (and deemed "normal"), but today, the doctor said that the count was 10 million with 83% motility (post thaw). It's my understanding that the sperm count should be 20 million before an iui?? Is this a bad post thaw count? What do you like to see before doing an iui?

I ovulate regularly, but the doc. put me on clomid to increase our chances. I had a few folicles, with two (one on the right, and one on the left) measuring over 20mm. Do we have an average chance of conceiving this month?

Thanks for your help!
