What is ICSI?

ICSI

An enhanced method of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to help in fertilisation. This technique is particularly effective for overcoming severe male infertility issues such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, or obstructive azoospermia. Additionally, ICSI is often used when previous IVF attempts have failed when using previously frozen eggs or sperm or in cases of unexplained infertility.

How does ICSI work?

Work

ICSI works by directly injecting a single sperm into the cytoplasm of a mature egg to facilitate fertilization, bypassing many natural barriers to conception. The process includes ovarian stimulation with fertility medications to produce multiple eggs, followed by egg retrieval through a minor surgical procedure. A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or donor and prepared in the lab, and a single sperm is precisely injected into each egg using a fine needle. The fertilized eggs are cultured for a few days to develop into embryos, which are then transferred into the woman’s uterus for potential implantation and pregnancy.

Process of ICSI

Process

Process-1
Ovarian Stimulation:

In order to stimulate the ovaries to produce more than one egg, fertility medications are prescribed. Hormone injectables such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) may be part of these drugs. The progress of ovarian stimulation is monitored through ultrasound scans and blood tests to determine the optimal timing for egg retrieval.

Process-2
Egg Retrieval:

Eggs are collected from the ovaries using a guided ultrasound procedure called transvaginal ultrasound aspiration. This procedure is performed under light sedation or anaesthesia to minimize discomfort. The collected eggs are then prepared for the ICSI procedure.

Process-3
Sperm Preparation:

The sperm sample, whether obtained from ejaculation or surgical extraction, is processed in the laboratory to concentrate healthy, motile sperm. This step ensures that the best quality sperm are selected for injection into the eggs.

Process-4
Sperm Injection:

A single sperm is carefully injected into the cytoplasm of each mature egg using a fine glass needle. This step is performed under a high-powered microscope to ensure precision and accuracy.

Process-5
Embryo Culture:

Embryos, which are now fertilised eggs, are cultivated in a lab setting for several days. During this time, the embryos are monitored for proper development and growth. The goal is to culture the embryos to the blastocyst stage (around 5-6 days after fertilization), which has a higher implantation potential.

Process-6
Embryo Transfer:

A healthy embryo or embryos are chosen to be implanted into the woman’s uterus. The embryo transfer is a simple procedure that involves placing the embryos into the uterus using a thin catheter. This step is usually performed without anaesthesia and is similar to a pap smear in terms of discomfort. The goal is for the embryos to implant into the uterine lining and develop into a successful pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How long does ICSI process take?

How long does ICSI process take?

The ICSI process typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to the embryo transfer. It includes 1-2 weeks of fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries, the egg retrieval procedure, a few days for fertilization and embryo culture, and finally, the embryo transfer into the uterus. A pregnancy test is usually performed about two weeks after the embryo transfer to confirm if implantation and pregnancy have occurred.

Which is better IVF or ICSI?

Which is better IVF or ICSI?

  • IVF is best for unexplained infertility, ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, and endometriosis.
  • ICSI is best for severe male infertility issues (low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal morphology) or previous IVF failures.
  • Consult with a fertility specialist to determine the best approach based on your specific situation.

Is embryo transfer painful?

Is embryo transfer painful?

Embryo transfer is generally not considered painful. It is a relatively quick and straightforward procedure that involves placing the embryos into the woman's uterus using a thin catheter. Most women describe it as discomfort rather than pain. Some clinics may offer a mild sedative to help relax during the procedure.

What is the ICSI procedure in IVF?

What is the ICSI procedure in IVF?

ICSI is a specialized IVF technique where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to aid fertilization. It's used for severe male infertility or past IVF failures. This method bypasses natural barriers, enhancing fertilization success and resulting in embryos being transferred to the uterus for pregnancy.
