We are going back on to the 12th for paper work, we are still fighting allowing us to have the treatment  so just need a rant and rave as we have limited clinics as we physically have noi problems we are just two females who want a baby and sometimes it feels like we are the only people have done this by the hospital. Finally they have agreed but have not had much imput yet as to what icsyi is can any one shed any light for me?
Thanks.
P.s sorry for the rant!! |
ICSI is a procedure where they inject a single sperm directly into an egg to ensure that it makes it in. ICSI was the only option for DH and I since our problem was male factor. Basically, the heads of his sperm are not shaped correctly for penetrating the egg. They were getting to the egg, but not able to make it in. ICSI completely bypasses this by allowing the embryologist to inject the sperm directly in.
Hope this helps! BTW, we love ICSI b/c it produced our sweet baby girl who was born 4 weeks ago!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
