And costing you more money than necessary. It's quite interesting that the article states that the percentage of cycles that used ICSI increased from 11% (1995) to 57.5% (2004). What is ironic is that the percentage of male related infertility has remained the same (34%). In addition the results of live births were higher (albeit slightly) than those who did not use the technique. And if that's not enough higher birth defects were reported...
ICSI is most often used for male factor infertility (low sperm counts or poor quality) and costs about an addtional $1500 on top of the regular in vitro fertilization costs.
We have to be so careful to make sure we are as informed as we can be when it comes to trying to conceive. Unfortunately there are those who are out to take advantage of our desperation to be parents.

IUI changed my life! After struggling with infertility for years, I finally decided to try IUI. The process was relatively simple and painless, and the support from the medical staff was incredible. Best IUI treatment.https://www.sriramakrishnahospital.com/srilanka/ivf-treatment-in-srilanka/
