An overview of ICSI and its role in treating male factor or unexplained infertility.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) monitor

ICSI is a specialized technique used during IVF, commonly recommended for male factor or in cases of unexplained infertility. The process involves an embryologist identifying motile sperm under the microscope and carefully injecting a single sperm into each mature egg. 

Why choose ICSI?

  • Helps overcome low sperm count, motility, or abnormal shape

  • Often used in cases of unexplained infertility

  • Increases fertilization success, especially when previous IVF cycles have had poor fertilization

  • Performed successfully in over two-thirds of IVF cycles at Atlantic Fertility
