Worse fertilisation with ICSI than IVF
has anyone else experienced this?
we are on our 6th ivf cycle. Usually no problems with fertilisation rate but cycle 5 was a little lower at 38% so we thought let’s try zymot and ICSi to throw everything at it.
very shocked when fertilisation was lower 22% (2 out of 9) despite injecting the best sperm? Has anyone else had this? We are waiting to see if either of the 2 that fertilised make it to day 5 then will discuss with our doctor.
im wondering what could cause this - I’m considering speaking to an embryologist privately to get another opinion as it seems so unusual - but I guess it could be ‘just bad luck’
