Our Treatments

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a fertility treatment that helps couples conceive a child. In this procedure, a single live sperm is injected directly into an egg in a laboratory, allowing for fertilization and the creation of an embryo. ICSI is a type of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and is often used when male infertility is an issue, such as low sperm count or poor sperm movement. By bypassing natural barriers to fertilization, ICSI increases the chances of successful conception and helps individuals and couples achieve their dream of having a baby.

Our Procedure for ICSI Will Include:

• Consultation and Testing: Meet with a fertility specialist for an evaluation and necessary tests to understand your fertility health.
• Ovarian Stimulation: Receive hormone injections for about 8 to 14 days to help your ovaries produce multiple eggs.
• Egg and Sperm Collection: Under mild anesthesia, the doctor retrieves the eggs from your ovaries. The male partner donates a sample of sperm on the same day.
• ICSI Procedure: A lab expert injects a single sperm directly into each egg to help with fertilization.
• Embryo Development: The fertilized eggs are observed in an incubator. If they develop into healthy embryos, they are prepared for transfer.
• Embryo Transfer: One or more embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus using a thin tube, and a pregnancy test is done after about two weeks to check for success.
