Understanding ICSI: A Fertility Treatment Option

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialized fertility treatment that involves the direct injection of a single healthy sperm into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This precise procedure is performed by our skilled embryologists under the guidance of a high-powered microscope

ICSI versus Conventional IVF

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialized form of IVF. A single sperm is directly injected into a single egg.

Conventional IVF: Thousands of sperm are placed next to an egg, relying on chance for fertilization via natural sperm penetration.

Who is ICSI suitable for?

Common scenarios where ICSI might be recommended are:

Men with low sperm count or poor sperm quality
Previous failed IVF attempts
Using frozen sperm
Genetic testing

ICSI is a highly effective treatment option for individuals and couples struggling with fertility issues related to sperm quality or quantity. However, it's essential to consult with our fertility specialists to determine the best course of treatment for your specific needs.

The ICSI Process

The ICSI treatment involves the following steps:

Fertilization

A single sperm is carefully selected and injected into each mature egg

Embryo Culture

The fertilized eggs (now called embryos) are nurtured in a controlled laboratory environment for 3-5 days.

Embryo Selection

Our experienced embryologists evaluate the embryos and select the best-quality ones for transfer.

Embryo Transfer

One or two embryos are transferred into the uterus to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies.

Supporting Implantation

Progesterone supplements are prescribed to support the uterine lining and enhance the chances of successful implantation.

What to Expect Next

Approximately 10–14 days after the embryo transfer, a blood test is conducted to determine if the embryo has implanted and a pregnancy has been achieved. If the test is positive, an ultrasound is scheduled a few weeks later to confirm the presence of a gestational sac and fetal heartbeat.

We understand that undergoing ICSI can be a challenging and emotional experience for couples. Our team is committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need to navigate this process and manage any stress or anxiety that may arise.
