Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
ICSI Works to Combat Male Infertility
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, otherwise known as ICSI, is an option for couples battling male infertility. Atlantic Reproductive Medicine has years of experience completing this procedure successfully and has done so in more than 5,000 cases. There are several motives for ICSI beyond the improved fertilization rate. Men who have reduced sperm counts, low motility, or poor morphology all benefit from ICSI. It is also used for cases where the patients are desirous of having a preimplantation genetic screening or where patients have previously vitrified their oocytes. ICSI and IVF can be used to achieve a couple’s goal of getting pregnant.

Basic Fertility Treatments
Controlled Ovarian Stimulation
Controlled Ovarian Stimulation, or hyperstimulation, is a mix of medications designed to stimulate follicle development, resulting in greater egg production in women. It’s frequently used as the first step of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, known as ICSI, is an option for couples battling male infertility. Atlantic Reproductive has successfully completed more than 5,000 cases of this procedure over the years.
Ovarian Reserve Testing
The number of eggs a woman has available is very important when assessing fertility and possible treatments. While there is an average number of eggs, every woman is different.
Advanced Fertility Treatments
INVOcell
The INVOcell, an FDA-approved gas-permeable vaginal culture device, allows women to incubate eggs and sperm themselves. This device decreases the cost of and increases access to fertility treatment.
IVF
One of the main fertility treatments we utilize at Atlantic Reproductive is in vitro fertilization (IVF), which involves fertilizing eggs with sperm outside the woman’s body.
IUI
Artificial insemination, also known as intrauterine insemination (IUI), is a technique that involves placing sperm inside the woman’s uterus with a catheter to achieve fertilization. Unlike IVF, artificial insemination does not require collecting eggs from the ovaries or fertilization outside the body.
