Would my low sperm count have an adverse effect on IVF and ICSI?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• I would like to inform you that the low sperm count and high FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) are indicative of organic disorders of the testes. In other words, the parameters indicate the possibility of either a partial or a complete testicular failure.
• The genetic testing helps to find out the cause of the testicular failure, and hence, the doctor has ordered for you to get one.
• Also, the success chances of IVF (in vitro fertilization) are low if the cause of abnormal FSH level is not known. This could be another reason for him ordering the genetic testing.

I hope this answers you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions. Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• Regarding your post, I have answered clearly that the genetic testing is helpful for identifying the cause of testicular failure. However, the effect of the results of genetic testing on IVF and ICSI are low to negligible.

• The available research material indicates that the success rate for IVF (in vitro fertilization) and ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is slightly lower in individuals with high FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) when compared to individuals with normal FSH. This could be the main reason for your doctor ordering genetic testing.

I hope this clarifies. Regards.
