ICSI reassurance needed!

Had to egg collection today. When I left I was told my donor sperm sample was looking fine but on the taxi home I got a call from the embryologist that the sperm tails were looking curved so they were worried they would't swim naturally to the egg even though the motility was good and that I should do ICSI. I wasn't given a lot of time to make the decision and to be honest I feel like I was really given much of a choice. Part of me wonders if the clinic was just looking for another way to make money off me as they originally billed me for ICSI and I had a sneaking suspicion they would request it today.

Would love to hear some positive stories about ICSI please to reassure my anxious mind!

We had ICSI due to some issues and we ended up with 6 blastocysts. One of those is our 6 month old daughter. Good luck hope it all goes well xxx

We did ICSI due to sperm issues. Ended up with seven blasts and just did our first FET seven days ago. Totally understand your hesitation but fertilization rates are better if there are any issues with sperm.

I had retrieval last week. my husband has very very low sperm count and normal forms. We did icsi. Out of 6 eggs retrieved 5 fertilised and all 5 have made it to the freezer :)
