Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
How many IVF can one person undergo in total? We have attempted three ICSI with negative results. Each time, the embryo failed to develop more than four days, once developed only up to morula stage on day five. My wife is 30 years old with AMH 4.5 with type-2 diabetes. Next, what can we plan? Our doctor has advised ICSI with donor eggs.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
How are you doing today? There is no limit to the number of times you can do ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). But if I may advise, why not try to correct the underlying cause for the failure of a healthy embryo growth? An AMH of 4 or more means she has plenty of eggs. But diabetes is mostly spoiling her chances. Hopefully, her HbA1c is normal and other complications have been ruled out. Also, semen factor should be alright. Any problem in either of these should be the reason for poor embryo quality. If you feel all these are fine, then maybe have the procedure at a different IVF clinic, with a different embryologist. I know it is a tough call, but do think about it.
Hope I have clarified your query, do write back if any more queries.
All the best.
