This will be my second IVF. In the first round, antibodies were found in my husband&amp;#39;s sperm. As I had a lot of eggs, we decided to split 15 for ICSI and 7 for regular IVF to test the sperm&amp;#39;s viability. 4 of the 7 eggs fertilized with IVF, vs. 12 out of 15 for ICSI. Would this imply that in all future rounds of IVF we can avoid ICSI and just go for regular IVF (preferable due to natural selection of the &amp;quot;winning&amp;quot; sperm), as his sperm has been proven viable? Or are there other factors to consider?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7481750454508390979/4740015465003793201/comments/default/7456542892376455541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7481750454508390979/4740015465003793201/comments/default/7456542892376455541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ivfauthority.com/2009/11/anti-sperm-antibodies-how-do-they.html?showComment=1258659814467#c7456542892376455541' title=''/><author><name>C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13485640211188730173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ivfauthority.com/2009/11/anti-sperm-antibodies-how-do-they.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481750454508390979.post-4740015465003793201' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7481750454508390979/posts/default/4740015465003793201' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-239403144'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481750454508390979.post-7364497936929934571</id><published>2009-11-12T11:37:01.395-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T11:37:01.395-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you!
