ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
Ask about ICSI during your IVF assessment.
How ICSI works
An embryologist injects a single selected sperm directly into a mature egg. Fertilisation is checked the next day, and the laboratory monitors embryo development. ICSI is a fertilisation technique used during IVF.
When is it considered?
ICSI may be considered for very low sperm count or motility, surgically retrieved sperm or previous problems with fertilisation. Some eggs may be damaged during injection. Not every egg fertilises or develops into an embryo suitable for transfer.
