ICSI vs IVF

Q: I'm confused about ICSI vs IVF. You say "ICSI is used when the fertility problem is a result of sperm disorders. These can include a low sperm count", but then go on to say "ICSI is recommended for patients who have had previously had failed fertilisation with IVF". Is there a reason ICSI is not used as a first treatment? Is there a particular low sperm count threshold where ICSI would be used first? Would you allow a patient to choose to pursue ICSI as a first option? Why or why not? Also, is it only failed fertilization attempts via IVF that prompt the use of ICSI? If a patient has repeated successful fertilisation but failed implanatation, would ICSI be tried, or would this not help? I'm thinking particularly in the case of male subfertility in a couple under thirty, if that makes a difference. Also, I read that ICSI has a slightly better live birth rate than IVF (something like 30% vs 28%). Why is this? Thanks!
