ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly to the egg. after that it is then implanted to the uterus. I think this costs about as much as an IVF.

i think this is a more direct approach compared to IVF.

I looked it up and this procedure costs around $6500 but there are additional expenses like medication which can cost between $2000-4000.

So it costs around the same as an IVF however, this procedure is great for guys who have low sperm count, low motility and low sperm quality.

This procedure is also tax deductible! =)

at $6500 per cycle this is very expensive! but it is more precise as each egg is injected directly with a sperm. this is good for guys with sperm that find it hard to penetrate the outer covering of the egg.

If you think it can increase your chance of getting pregnant and you can afford it then I think you should go for it.

kissybusymissy is right and I agree with her. It is better to do a costly but more effective procedure than a cheap one that has high failure rate.

Was it recommended by your RE. If you are in doubt you can get a second opinion.

what happens after the sperm has been injected? is it possible that the egg won't accept the sperm? and with the price, is that like $6500 per injection or per successful injection?
