  1. Understanding Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) in Infertility Treatment 519.650.0011 info@onefertilitykw.com

  2. What is intracytoplasmic sperm injection? Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure for infertility treatments. It is commonly used to increase the chances of fertilization due to sperm-related issues or failed in vitro fertilization attempts. How does ICSI work? • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) involves directly injecting a single sperm into an egg during in vitro fertilization (IVF). This method is beneficial for couples facing male infertility issues like low sperm count or motility. The sperm is prepared in a lab, ensuring the selection of the healthiest and most viable sperm. Successful fusion of the sperm and egg leads to embryo development, culminating in a healthy pregnancy and the birth of a baby.

  3. Who is a candidate for intracytoplasmic sperm injection? ICSI is a solution for severe male infertility, including issues like ejaculation dysfunction, low sperm count, motility, or poor sperm morphology. Ideal candidates also include couples with failed IVF attempts, frozen sperm/eggs users, and those with severe endometriosis. Even men who have had a reversed vasectomy can achieve fertility success with ICSI. What is the success rate for ICSI? • The intricate procedure offers 50% to 80% success rate for fertilization, depending on the woman’s age and lifestyle habits. Women under 35 years old have a 49% chance for a live birth while those in their early 40s may have only a 29% chance.

  4. Is ICSI different from IVF? Yes and no. ICSI is a form of in vitro fertilization (IVF). While the two procedures share the same goal, the techniques are very different. With ICSI, the sperm is injected into the egg while IVF involves placing the sperm in a petri dish near the egg for fertilization. What are the risks associated with ICSI? • A small percentage of injected eggs may get damaged during the procedure, potentially leading to abnormalities in the sex chromosome. While the cause lacks conclusive studies, these abnormalities pose risks, including miscarriage, severe infant heart problems, higher chances of childhood learning disabilities or behavioral issues, and potential infertility issues for the child in adulthood.

  5. What are the benefits of ICSI? ICSI boosts success rates for male infertility by directly injecting sperm into eggs, improving fertilization rates. Men with low sperm count, abnormal shape, or poor movement benefit from ICSI, as do those with vasectomy history, paralysis, or prior unsuccessful IVF attempts. Can you choose gender with ICSI? • No, the ICSI procedure cannot be manipulated to ensure the baby is a male or female. The sex of a baby is determined by the sperm as the egg holds an “X” chromosome and the sperm can have either an “X” or a “Y” chromosome. Sperm with an “X” chromosome produces a female while sperm with a “Y” chromosome produces a male baby.

  6. Does ICSI work the first time? As with any fertility therapy, the results depend highly on a number of factors including age, sperm and egg quality, and if fertilization takes place. How long does ICSI treatment take to work? • Once the procedure is completed, it will take several days for the embryos to attach to the uterus lining and begin to develop. A pregnancy test to determine the success of ICSI is usually done at the 14-day mark after the procedure.

  7. Will the baby be healthy with ICSI? Without intervention, every pregnancy has less than a 3% chance of major birth defects developing. With ICSI, the risk increases slightly. Is rest needed after ICSI? • While bedrest is usually not required, it is recommended to avoid stress, meditate, practice yoga, and follow a healthy diet. Studies suggest psychological interventions can help improve fertility success rates.
