ICSI

"The initials ICSI stand for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection"

This is the process of picking up a single sperm in a fine needle and injecting it directly into the cytoplasm (body) of the egg to aid the process of fertilisation.

Advantages of ICSI

ICSI can be performed for men who have very few numbers of sperm in their semen, too few for IVF.
•    It can be performed for those men whose sperm have minimal activity which would be too slow for IVF
•    There is usually a higher fertilisation rate, therefore, couples have a higher number of embryos to
     transfer, than would be the case with IVF
•    There can be a reduction in the number of eggs fertilised by more than one sperm.
•    There is the option of using the male partner's sperm instead of donor sperm.
