What are the results ?

In conclusion ICSI has become a very successful treatment and is applicable in up to 50% of couples that present for assisted treatment. With ICSI fertilisation of eggs is almost guaranteed if the infertility is related to a sperm problem and many thousands of couples have been able to have a family who would not have been able to without ICSI. The team from CRM London have been performing ICSI since 1992 but even so worldwide experience with this technique is considerably less than IVF. A separate sheet is available detailing our live birth rates with ICSI. As with any medical treatment the benefits of therapy have to be assessed against the real or potential risks and this threshold will be different for each couple. Do not hesitate to discuss any questions you may have with your doctor and please remember that our counsellors are there to provide support at all stages of your treatment.
