Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injections (ICSI)
ICSI is recommended in cases where there is a male infertility factor, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm morphology, which can decrease the chances of natural IVF fertilization. The primary difference between ICSI and natural in vitro fertilization is that, in natural IVF, sperm and eggs are placed side by side in a petri dish to allow for natural fertilization. In contrast, ICSI involves directly injecting selected high-motility sperm into the egg, thereby increasing the chances of successful fertilization.
Success Rates
Approximately 6 out of every 10 eggs will fertilize successfully through ICSI. Several factors contribute to the fact that ICSI fertilization is not 100% successful, including:
-
Sperm quality - Not all sperm are mature enough, and even mature sperm can vary in their quality and viability. Poor sperm quality can lead to failed fertilization or impaired embryo development.
-
Egg activation – Sometimes, the injected sperm fails to activate the egg’s developmental process, resulting in failed fertilization.
After ICSI, the eggs are returned to the incubator overnight and checked for fertilization the following morning. Our doctors will guide you through the ICSI procedure if needed, and you can contact our fertility consultation team if you have any additional questions.
