IVF and ICSI

NANCY - March 3

I was told the my husband and I had unexplained infertility. They say all tests came back fine. I did a round of IVF and they retrieved 11 eggs. 6 of the eggs they let nature takes it's course and the other 5 they did ICSI. Out of the 6 eggs 1 fertilized and out of the 5 eggs that were ICSIed 4 made it. They said that my eggs were probably to hard for my husband's sperm to penetrate. I just went another round of IVF and ICSI last month and I had 17 eggs 10 fertilized and 9 fertilized normally. They put in 3 a 8,7,6 cell. It didn't work. So is there anything I can do besides IVF and ICSI to try while I save money to go another round of IVF that might work.

Thanks

Yes, you should be evaluated for immunological problems such as antiphospholipid antibodies, autoimmunity and cellular immunology (NK cells). For more information on the tests, see http://www.repromedix.com/forp

Even though one cycle worked and the other didn't.

How do you get evaluated for that. Is it just a blood test or are there other tests done? If I do test positive for that what do they do to fix that and how would I become pregnant?

Thank you so much for your information.

The link I provided will answer your questions about the various types of testing. After you read about the testing, speak with your doctor about having the tests performed. They are all blood tests, so its just a matter of drawing the blood and sending it to the lab. Depending on the type of probelm (if any) there are a variety of treatments available. Wait and see what the tests show (if anything) and then discuss treatment options with your doctor. If your doctor poo-poo's the testing, get a second opinion.
