What Is In Vitro Fertilization
(IVF) With Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) represents a cutting-edge fertility treatment wherein eggs are united with sperm outside the body, in a controlled laboratory environment. This method has emerged as an indispensable resource for individuals and couples facing challenges in conceiving naturally. A significant enhancement to traditional IVF is the inclusion of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), an advanced technique that involves the direct injection of a single sperm into an egg.
IVF with ICSI is a comprehensive process and a cornerstone of modern assisted reproductive technology (ART). It offers hope to many who have struggled with infertility, providing a path to parenthood that was once thought impossible. With its high success rates and precise approach, IVF with ICSI represents a remarkable convergence of science and medicine, opening doors to new life and family building possibilities.

FAQs
-
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) combined with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) offers several significant benefits, particularly in situations where male factor infertility is a concern or previous IVF attempts have not been successful.
While IVF with ICSI has many advantages, it's important for couples to consult with our fertility specialist at Arbor Fertility to determine if this method is suitable for their specific situation, as it may not be necessary for all cases of IVF.
-
The likelihood of success with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) during the first attempt varies and is influenced by several factors. These include the age of the female partner, the quality of the eggs and sperm, underlying fertility issues, and the overall health of both partners.
On average, ICSI has a fertilization success rate of about 70-85%. However, fertilization does not guarantee pregnancy. It's important for couples to have a detailed discussion with their fertility specialist at Arbor Fertility to understand the chances of success based on their specific circumstances.
-
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a remarkable fertility technique because it requires only a minimal number of sperm to potentially achieve fertilization. Unlike traditional In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), where a high sperm count is needed, ICSI can be successful even with very low sperm counts. Technically, ICSI can be performed with just one viable sperm per egg.
-
Embryos can be stored for a long time, often for several years and, in some cases, even decades. The longevity and viability of stored embryos largely depend on the quality of the embryos at the time of freezing and the effectiveness of the cryopreservation technique used
-
IVF with ICSI is particularly suitable for cases of male factor infertility, previous IVF failures, or when genetic testing is required. It's also recommended for using frozen or surgically retrieved sperm, and can be beneficial for couples facing unexplained infertility or in situations of advanced maternal age.
A consultation with our endocrinologist is essential to assess your individual circumstances and determine if IVF with ICSI is the right choice for you.
