Recurrent ICSI failure

The most common cause of a failed ICSI treatment is an abnormal chromosome complement in the embryo.  This can be tested for by aneuploidy screening or preimplantation genetic screening (PGS).  Recent evidence suggests that in some patients the immune system may be rejected the pregnancy, either preventing implantation or when the pregnancy is in its early stages.  There are a number of tests that can be carried out, including natural killer cell activity.  When indicated, we offer treatment using intralipid and/or steroids.
