I can't really help you with your question but it is my understaind that the success rate for IVD is much higher then the success rate for IVF. Good luck with your IVF!! When do you start?

I have to still do my IVF class but maybe in JAN

I'm not sure what the story you read was but I'm guessing there were major IF problems if icsi did not work. DH and I can not concieve natural due to tubal issues and slight male factor but icsi worked for us.
Good luck sweety

I really need to proof read my posts. They are terrible. I meant IVF not IVD.

What is IVD?

Hey that is funny noe everyone is confused . Guys our friend meant IVF not IVD

Like in the body, even with ICSI all eggs won't fertilize. Sometimes it is just the egg knowing there is something not right. If in the case of no motility, like we had this week, I am not sure why it does not work. I figured if they put the sperm in the egg then it should, but sadly I was wrong. Again, I think it is just the egg knowing something is not right. But, most the time with IVF and ICSI, there are some sperm that is moving. They sort through the sample, clean it up and use the best they can find. There are even things they can do to try and wake up sperm, but it is not a gaurantee.

Sometimes it takes several attempts for an embryo to attach to the uterus and many times there is no real reason why. My RE said that there are many women who get pregnant and then miscarry with out ever knowing in the first place b/c the body can sense it will not be a viable pregnancy.
It took our friends 4 IVF attempts before they had their twins. But, it took my cousin 1 IVF attempt to get pregnant with their son.

I guess what I am trying to say is there is no gaurantee. There are statistics and such, but no promise of it working. All you can do is what is in your power. Try to have your body and mind prepared. Do what the RE says and pray that it will work.

I wish you the very best of luck!

I was googeling IVD. I thought there was something out there we missed. That's pretty funny.

You know, I have no answers for this. We are a pefect example of IVF not working with ICSI. We are now on the 2ww our our 4th IVF with ICSI. All I can do is hope, pray and tell you that a pregnancy...a baby is a true miracle. I wish you all the luck in the world!!!!!!!!
