In Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
What is Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection?
IVF and Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are the two most popular assisted reproductive technologies used for successful fertilisation. The only difference between the two is the way the egg is fertilised. lVF allows the sperm to penetrate the egg of its own accord where as ICSI directly inserts the sperm into the egg. This is done under a microscope by a qualified Embryologist using very fine tools (known as micromanipulation). The technique is used when the sperm is unable to penetrate the egg wall. If the egg is fertilised, the embryo is inserted into the uterus in the same way as for IVF.

Antisperm antibodies (ant, bodies produced by the man’s body which may inhibit sperm function)
When ICSI is used?
Ovarian Simulation and Monitoring
Egg (oocyte) retrieval [Egg Pick Up]
Fertilisation
Embryo Development
Embryo Transfer
Cryopreservation
Often with in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracy to plasmic sperm injection (ICS) treatment, people have good quality embryos leftover which they can’t use. Instead of discarding them, they have the option to freeze them to use in the future referred as embryo cryopreservation, it will help you to save the cost in future.
