I gotta ask....what is ICSI / AH? Does it have to do with egg quality? I am 38 so might be interested in this. Would love some feedback. Thanks!

We had a Day 5 transfer and just did the ICSI. I think my clinic really only recommends assisted hatching for Day 3 transfers.
Oocyte Insemination is $400. That price goes up to $1,000 if you do ICSI. Assisted hatching is another $290. I don't really know what AH is. I know with ICSI they actually insert a sperm into the egg, as opposed to just setting the eggs in a bunch of sperm and hoping that they connect.

AH is often done on older women because the zona on our eggs tends to be a bit thicker than that of younger women.
