What are the results of different procedures?

Ans - We have excellent results with our super ovulation. IUI Program success rates are around 50%, sometimes more. In IVF and ICSI our success rates are around 28-30%. There is also some foetal wastage in form of abortions. We have had 104 live births from IVF/ICSI so far in our ICSI program.

Is there any hope for patients who have failed ICSI cycles?

Ans - Several patients conceive after failed ICSI, sometimes naturally, sometimes by IUI. We also have cheaper alternatives such as embryo donation and ovum donation program. then there is always donor insemination and of course adoption. So there is always hope for an infertile couple.
