Ghost Question about IMSI PICSI

Post by Nana11 »

Ghost,

What do you think about the use of IMSI and/or PICSI in cases where the male has low sperm quality and quantity?
Will IMSI increase the success rates of a live birth?
Thanks,
Nana

We've never tried IMSI. Seems like it should be some improvement, and there is some published evidence to support that.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Ghost,
Under what parameters is it best to use IMSI?
My husband has a Morphology Kruger 4; (74% abnormal head and 22% abnormal tails); Volume 6.3; Count 8; Motility 50.
Thanks so much,
Nana

I just don't know. We've never used it.
