Intra - Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI is a process in which carefully selected healthy sperm of husband is injected inside the wife’s egg under special microscope & it is kept along with special nutrients required for survival & growth in a specialized incubator which mimics the human body temperature & conditions to help the sperm injected egg to form an Embryo. This developed embryo is them transferred into wife’s uterus (a.k.a Embryo Transfer) where it will grow further & can result in successful pregnancy.

At Yashoda Fertility & IVF Centre, after careful diagnosis & test reports of wife & sperm health test report of husband, the infertility specialist will suggest ICSI.

 

Before the procedure – Husband's sperm sample is collected in advance & frozen, this frozen husband sperm acts as an insurance for the couple & can save the IVF cycle cancellation if husband cannot give sperm sample on the day of procedure or he is not available at the time of procedure due to some work or emergency, under such circumstances this frozen husband sample can be used.

 

Sperm Processing – Obtained Husband sperm sample goes through a special wash & processing which removes dead & defective sperms along with other unwanted substances.

​

Sperm Testing – At Yashoda Fertility & IVF Centre, we perform a detail sperm test called SFA (Sperm Function Analysis) & Sperm DNA test in which sperm sample is studied in detail along with its genetic DNA, reports are generated as per guidelines of WHO (world Health Organization).

​

Wife’s egg Pick Up – To retrieve wife eggs, she is given injections & other oral medicines as per the wife’s body diagnosis & after some days the egg is taken out from the wife’s body. Post pick up the eggs (oocytes) are injected with healthy sperm under an advance microscope with the help of a specialized machine. This egg will form an embryo in 2 to 6 days & the embryo can be transferred back to women’s body for implantation and can result into a successful pregnancy.
