The ICSI Process

Understanding each step of your ICSI journey helps you feel more confident and prepared for the treatment ahead.

1

Egg Retrieval

Mature eggs are collected from the ovaries through a minor surgical procedure.

2

Sperm Preparation

A sperm sample is carefully prepared and the healthiest sperm are selected.

3

Microinjection

A single sperm is carefully injected directly into each mature egg.

4

Fertilization Check

Eggs are monitored for signs of successful fertilization.

5

Embryo Culture

Fertilized eggs are cultured for 3-5 days as they develop into embryos.

6

Embryo Transfer

The best quality embryo(s) are transferred to the uterus.

Benefits of ICSI

ICSI provides several unique advantages for couples struggling with fertility challenges.

Higher Fertilization Rates

ICSI significantly increases fertilization rates in cases of severe male factor infertility, where natural fertilization is unlikely.

Bypasses Fertilization Barriers

Overcomes issues with sperm that cannot penetrate the egg naturally due to motility or structural problems.

Uses Minimal Sperm

Only requires a single healthy sperm per egg, making it possible for men with very low sperm counts to father children.

Reduces Failed Fertilization

Minimizes the risk of complete fertilization failure in IVF cycles, providing peace of mind.

Enables Genetic Testing

Can be combined with preimplantation genetic testing to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities.

Proven Track Record

Has resulted in millions of healthy births worldwide since its introduction in the early 1990s.

Is ICSI Right For You?

ICSI can be transformative for many couples, but it's important to understand if you're an ideal candidate.

Ideal Candidates

Men with low sperm count (oligospermia)

Men with poor sperm motility (asthenospermia)

Men with abnormal sperm morphology (teratospermia)

Couples who've had previous failed fertilization with conventional IVF

Men who have had a vasectomy or other blockage

Men who require surgical sperm extraction (TESE, MESA, etc.)

Couples using frozen sperm that may have reduced motility

May Not Be Ideal For

Women with poor egg quality (may still require donor eggs)

Women with no viable eggs for retrieval

Couples where both partners have significant fertility issues

Cases where the genetic cause of infertility might be passed to offspring

Note: Each case is unique. Our fertility specialists will evaluate your specific situation to determine if ICSI is right for you.
