Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Treatment: Procedure, Benefits, Cost
What Is ICSI?
What Is the Success Rate Of ICSI?
The success rate of ICSI is like that of IVF. Approximately, 6 out of 10 IVF procedures are aided by ICSI. It’s estimated that 50% to 80% of ICSI attempts result in fertilization
Why Would I Need ICSI?
- A condition called Anejaculation which is the inability to ejaculate
- Blockage in their male reproductive system
- Low sperm count
- Poor sperm quality
- Retrograde ejaculation, a condition where the semen flows backward into the bladder
- If traditional IVF hasn’t led to the creation of embryos
- If the egg donor is above the age of 35
- If cryopreservation is being used for conception

How Can I Prepare For ICSI?
- Ovulation induction: The person supplying the eggs receives medication injections for eight to 14 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs.
- Egg retrieval: The doctor will use transvaginal ultrasound to insert a thin needle through the wall of the vagina into the ovaries. A suction device connected to the needle draws out and collects the eggs.
- Sperm collection also takes place on the same day as egg retrieval. A semen analysis takes place immediately to check sperm volume, mobility, and quality.
What Happens During An ICSI?
- Use a pipette (small glass tube with a suction bulb) to hold the mature egg in place on a lab dish
- Immobilize and pick up one sperm using a thin needle
- Insert the needle into the egg to reach the cytoplasm
- Inject the sperm into the cytoplasm
- Withdraw the needle from the egg
- After this, the doctor will monitor the fertilized egg in the laboratory for signs of successful fertilization. Within five to six days, a healthy fertilized egg should divide into cells, forming a blastocyst.
- An embryo transfer occurs on either the fifth or sixth day following the egg retrieval procedure or commonly the transfer is delayed for a month or even years.
- Again, using a transvaginal ultrasound, the doctor will insert a catheter into your vagina and inject the embryo into your uterus. For pregnancy to happen, the embryo needs to attach to your uterus. You will be told to wait at least two weeks before taking a pregnancy test.
