Overview
Discover the Precision of ICSI Treatment at The Fertility Centrum
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced fertility treatment that offers hope to individuals and couples facing male infertility issues or previous fertilization failures. At our prestigious fertility centre, we specialize in comprehensive ICSI treatment, utilizing state-of-the-art techniques to increase the chances of successful fertilization and pregnancy. Let us guide you through the step-by-step ICSI process and provide you with the highest level of care and support along the way.
Step-by-Step IUI Process:
Initial Consultation and Fertility Assessment
Your ICSI journey begins with an initial consultation with our experienced fertility specialists. We will discuss your medical history, perform a comprehensive fertility assessment, and address any concerns or questions you may have. Based on the evaluation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that suits your specific needs.
Ovarian Stimulation
The female partner in the treatment, will undergo ovarian stimulation to develop multiple mature eggs. This involves using fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries, increasing the chances of obtaining a good number of viable eggs for the ICSI procedure. Regular monitoring through ultrasounds and hormone level assessments will be conducted to track follicle development.
Egg Retrieval
Once the follicles have reached optimal size, a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval is performed under sedation. Using ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is carefully inserted into the ovaries to collect the mature eggs. This procedure is typically performed under anaesthesia and minimally invasive.
Sperm Collection
On the same day as the egg retrieval, a fresh semen sample is collected from your partner or a sperm donor. If the male partner has sperm-related fertility issues, we can retrieve sperm directly from the testicles or epididymis using surgical techniques such as testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA).
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
In the laboratory, our skilled embryologists select a single healthy sperm and inject it directly into each mature egg using a specialized micromanipulation technique. This precise procedure ensures that fertilization occurs even if there are sperm-related challenges, such as low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology.
Embryo Development and Culture
After the injection, the fertilized eggs (embryos) are carefully monitored in our state-of-the-art laboratory. The embryos are cultured in a controlled environment, providing optimal conditions for their development. Our skilled embryologists observe their progression, monitoring for successful fertilization and early embryo development.
Embryo Transfer
Once the embryos have reached the appropriate stage of development, typically between three to five days, they are ready for transfer. Using a thin catheter, the selected embryos are gently transferred into the uterus. This procedure is usually painless and does not require anesthesia. The number of embryos transferred is determined based on various factors, including your age, embryo quality, and your preferences.
Post-Transfer Care and Follow-Up
After the embryo transfer, you will rest for a short period before resuming your normal activities. Our team will provide you with specific post-transfer care instructions to optimize implantation and pregnancy success. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, provide ongoing support, and conduct pregnancy tests to determine the outcome.
