No problem: ICSI (intra cytoplasmic sperm injection i) should have no relationship to UC. I imagine you are already speaking with your doctor about it. Thanks for asking MrsK

Not directly: Since ICSI is done primarily for male infertility (low sperm count, poor motility etc.), ulcerative colitis per se will not decrease the chance of success. Several questions remain. Are your ova healthy and harvestable? Is your nutritional status good? Are you avoiding any medications that may be toxic to the embryo? ICSI is just the 1st step towards having a healthy baby. Wish u the best!

UC and pregnancy: It depends. If your ulcerative colitis is well-controlled, your miscarriage rate will be slightly higher than the 1 in 6 of the general population and will, therefore, be followed as a high-risk pregnancy.
