Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) technique has been greatest boon for males who have a very low sperm count to have their own biological child. In this procedure a single morphologically normal sperm is picked up in fine micro needle and injected manually into the oocyte under a highly advance microscope with a micromanipulator.

We have a full time Embryologist – Mr. Sachin S Bawle who has an experience of over a decade and can perform all ART procedures. He has recently got trained for Embryo Biopsy from IVF laboratory in Spain.

The steps involved in the ICSI cycle are

 Ovarian Stimulation: The woman is given hormonal injections for stimulating the ovaries to produce more number of oocytes/eggs. The injections are timed according to her period dates. Her response to the injections is judged by Trans-vaginal sonography. When they reach the mature stage, the eggs are retrieved by aspirating the fluid from the follicles on day of egg retrieval. Egg retrieval is done under general anesthesia and sonography guidane.

 Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): On a special microscope with a micromanipulator, a single sperm is picked up in fine micro needle and injected manually into the oocyte. At our center to increase the fertilisation rate and improve the embryo quality our embryologist uses sperm sorter to separate the normal sperms with lesser DFI from the rest of the sperms. Sperms separated from the sperm sorter are then selected on basis of their morphology as per Kruger criteria. In this way we perform a double selection protocol and use the best sperm for ICSI treatment in Mumbai.

Embryo Transfer:

 Embryos are transferred back into the uterus of patient either on Day 3 or Day5.
 The extra embryo can be cryopreserved for further use.
 The couple can expect a 30-50% chance of conception per cycle.

Advantage:

 In azoospermic (no sperms) men with an obstructive / non-obstructive pathology sperm can be aspirated directly from the epididymis (PESA) or from the testis (TESA) and used for ICSI.
 Almost miraculously, PESA or TESA with ICSI gives the same results as with ejaculated sperms (30-40% per cycle).

Indications:

 Low Sperm Count.
 Tubal Block.
 Severe endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
 Unexplained infertility.
 Failed Previous IUI / IVF cycles.
 Infertility due to any cause refractory to conventional medical and surgical management.
 Women with poor ovarian reserve
 Women wanting to use donor eggs or for surrogacy treatment
