One sperm. One egg. Fertilised.
A single healthy sperm injected directly into the egg — built for severe male factor infertility.
What Is ICSI, Really?
In standard IVF, sperm must fertilise the egg unassisted. In ICSI, our embryologist selects one healthy sperm under a microscope and injects it directly into the egg — a technique used worldwide since 1992.
Who Genuinely Needs ICSI
Severe male factor infertility
Low count, poor motility, or abnormal shape.
Previous fertilisation failure
Few or no eggs fertilised in a prior IVF cycle.
Surgically retrieved sperm
Always required for sperm from PESA, TESA, or Micro TESE.
Frozen or limited samples
When every sperm counts.
PGT or donor egg cycles
Standard practice to avoid stray sperm DNA.
How ICSI Is Performed
Egg Retrieval
Identical to standard IVF — stimulation, monitoring, and a day-care retrieval.
Sperm Selection
The healthiest single sperm chosen under high magnification.
Microinjection
Injected directly into each mature egg with a fine glass needle.
Fertilisation Check
Confirmed at 16–18 hours, then cultured as in standard IVF.
Fertilisation Rates and Safety
ICSI fertilises 70 to 85 percent of mature eggs. Once an embryo forms, its chance of success matches standard IVF. Genetic counselling is recommended for specific inherited causes of male infertility.
