When is ICSI recommended?

ICSI helps to overcome fertility problems, such as:

• The male partner produces too few sperm to do artificial insemination (intrauterine insemination ) or IVF.

• The sperm may not move in a normal fashion.

• The sperm may have trouble attaching to the egg.

• A blockage in the male reproductive tract may keep sperm from getting out.

• Eggs have not fertilized by traditional IVF, regardless of the condition of the sperm.

• In vitro matured eggs are being used.

• Previously frozen eggs are being used.

What is the procedure of ICSI?

Here is a detailed description of the ICSI procedure step by step to give you a better idea of what exactly happens-

There are basically five simple steps to ICSI which include the following:

• The mature egg is held with a specialized pipette.

• A very delicate, sharp, and hollow needle is used to immobilize and pick up a single sperm.

• The needle is then carefully inserted through the shell of the egg and into the cytoplasm of the egg.

• Sperm is injected into the cytoplasm, and the needle is carefully removed.

• Eggs are checked the following day for evidence of normal fertilization.

Once the steps of ICSI are complete and fertilization is successful, the embryo transfer procedure is used to physically place the embryo in the woman’s uterus. Then it is a matter of watching for early pregnancy symptoms. The fertility specialist may use a blood test or ultrasound to determine if implantation and pregnancy have occurred.
