I’m so sorry to hear of your difficulty. You don’t say what the problem was with the fetus that was not healthy but I would assume they didn’t feel it was something that would happen again. Your IVF cycle results look fairly standard in number of eggs but the fertilization was a bit lower than we would anticipate. Doing ICSI should help with a thick zona pellucida. You may want to do more investigation of your husband’s sperm malformation to see if any treatment might help his sperm production. A different stimulation protocol may be helpful since you said it was a very long protocol, but if you have PCOS they may have been concerned about ovarian hyperstimulation protocol and proceeded with a very low dose. We often use a protocol with antagonist medication to prevent ovulation and a stimulate ovulation with Lupron (leuprolide acetate).
