What are the success rates for couples with male factor infertility when ICSI is used?
ICSI was developed to overcome problems with fertilization that sometimes occur among couples diagnosed with male factor infertility. In 2005, about 81% of couples diagnosed with male factor infertility used IVF with ICSI. Figure 30 presents the success rates for these ICSI procedures among couples diagnosed with male factor infertility. For comparison, these rates are presented alongside the success rates for ART cycles that used standard IVF without ICSI. This standard IVF comparison group includes couples with all diagnoses except male factor. Because ICSI can be performed only when at least one egg has been retrieved, the percentage of egg retrievals that resulted in live births are presented. In every age group, success rates for the IVF with ICSI group were similar to the success rates for the groups that used standard IVF without ICSI. These results show that when ICSI was used for couples diagnosed with male factor infertility, their success rates were close to those achieved b
