ICSI vs IVF

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!

What's best?

My partner had a vasectomy seven years ago, before we got together. I'm 21 and we are desperate to start our family. The treatment I have been looking into is artificial insemination but I'm wondering what the difference is between that and IUI, and what would be ideal for us.
