How Intracytoplasmic Sperm (ICSI) Works?

Since IntraCytoplasmic Sperm is always used in conjunction with Controlled Ovarian Hyper stimulation and egg retrieval, the woman is given Gonadotropins on a daily basis for about ten days starting on day 2 of the menstrual cycle. Egg retrieval is done under general Anesthesia in a day care setting

For ICSI, the male partner/husband provides the semen sample by Masturbation. This is the preferred way since it is noninvasive, but for some men this may not be possible. An alternate option is to retrieve the sperm directly from the male partner’s testicles by taking a small incision in the testes and this is a painless procedure under local Anesthesia

The single sperm is then injected directly into the collected egg with a very fine/ICSI needle. The egg will reseal itself after the needle is withdrawn, just as it does in the process of natural fertilization when the sperm breaks through its outer membrane. As in In Vitro Fertilization without ICSI, the fertilized egg is then permitted to develop for a few days before being transferred back into the woman’s uterus in the form of a blastocyst embryo.
