Summary: ICSI continues to be a breakthrough procedure in treating male fertility problems. It chooses the most suitable sperm and injects it in each one of the collected oocytes. This procedure helps couples where the male has a low sperm count or a damaged or missing vas deferens (the pair of tubes that carries seminal fluid from the testes to the penis).
Introduced in 1992.
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was and continues to be embraced as a breakthrough in treating male fertility problems . Though the technique is still new and many clinics don't yet offer it, about 7,000 ICSI babies are born each year in the United States. Based on 250 cycles, our success rate is 38.4% |

Assisted Fertilization in Argentina
Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Is it for you?
If you have a low sperm count or a damaged or missing vas deferens (the pair of tubes that carries seminal fluid from the testes to the penis), or if you've had an irreversible vasectomy, ICSI can help you impregnate your partner.
Treatment: What to expect
•As with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, your partner will take a fertility drug to stimulate her ovaries to develop several mature eggs for fertilization. (She normally releases only one egg a month.)
•Once her eggs are mature, you'll each undergo separate procedures. Your doctor will give your partner an anesthetic and remove her eggs from her ovaries by inserting a needle through her vaginal wall.
•You'll provide a sperm sample. If there isn't enough sperm in your ejaculate, your doctor will remove some from your testicle with a needle. If this doesn't work, your doctor will take a biopsy of your testicular tissue, which may have sperm attached. (Usually these procedures are done under local anesthesia and the recovery isn't painful.)
•Next your doctor will inject your individual sperm into your partner's individual eggs. Two to five days later, each of the fertilized eggs will be a ball of cells called an embryo. Your doctor will insert two to four embryos into your partner's uterus using a thin catheter. (Extra embryos, if there are any, may be frozen in case this cycle doesn't succeed.) If the treatment succeeds, an embryo will implant in your partner's uterine wall and continue to grow into a baby. (In a third of ICSI pregnancies, more than one embryo implants itself and women give birth to multiples.)
•Your partner will be able to take a pregnancy test about two weeks after the embryos are placed in her uterus.
Length of treatment
It takes about four to six weeks to complete one cycle of ICSI. You'll have to wait for your eggs to mature. You and your partner will spend a full day at your doctor's office or clinic having your eggs and sperm retrieved. Your partner will have to go back again to have the embryos inserted inside her uterus but she'll be able to go home that same day.
Success rate
You and your partner will have a 34 percent chance of conceiving with the help of ICSI, and a 28 percent chance of actually having a baby.
Pluses
•ICSI can help couples with male-factor fertility problems conceive which means it can help 35 to 40 percent of couples having trouble getting pregnant. What's more, it eliminates the problem of poor fertilization because your doctor helps the process occur outside your partner's body, in the lab.
•Also, researchers who recently examined the results of eight different studies conducted between 1989 and 1999 found that fertility drugs don't increase a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer, even if she takes them for more than a year. Previously this issue was a major source of controversy and concern.
Minuses
•Fertilizing your partner's eggs outside her body requires expensive lab work.
•Also, during normal conception, only the hardiest sperm manage to break through the membrane of an egg to fertilize it. Because ICSI enables weaker sperm to fertilize eggs, critics worry about the long-term health and development of children conceived through this method. Though it's too soon to tell whether there's reason to worry, one recent study of 89 1-year-olds conceived through ICSI suggests they may develop slower mentally than those conceived through IVF.
•What's more, men seeking ICSI may have chromosomal abnormalities that predispose them to fertility problems, and there's a chance their male children may inherit a low sperm count. This is just one reason to speak to a genetics counselor before undergoing ICSI. Another good reason for both you and your partner to undergo genetic screening before treatment is that men who are missing their vas deferens can carry mutations that make them prone to have children with cystic fibrosis.
•As with all assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments, ICSI will up your partner's risk of having an ectopic pregnancy too. This occurs when an embryo drifts up to her fallopian tubes or abdominal cavity and implants there rather than in her uterus. Your doctor will either prescribe a medication called methotrexate or surgically remove the embryo to prevent it from fatally injuring your partner by continuing to grow.
•Women who take fertility drugs sometimes develop ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS), a condition signaled by weight gain and a full, bloated feeling. Some women also have shortness of breath, dizziness, pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting. OHSS occurs when women respond too well to fertility drugs and produce too many eggs; their ovaries rapidly swell to several times their size and leak fluid into their abdominal cavity. Normally this resolves itself with careful monitoring by a physician. But in rare cases it can be life threatening, and your partner may have to be hospitalized for more intense monitoring.
