Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

inseminationSome patients may have infertility related to male and/or fertilization factors- the sperm may need assistance penetrating the egg for normal fertilization to occur. NRM embryologists are experts in performing ICSI, an IVF procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.


How is ICSI performed?

At NRM, experienced embryologists perform ICSI under a microscope. While stabilizing a mature egg, a single, immobilized sperm is directly injected through the zona pellucida or “shell” of the egg into the inner part of the oocyte (cytoplasm). The sperm is then released into the oocyte. The following day, the eggs are inspected for normal fertilization.

Who should consider ICSI?

  • Individuals with male factor infertility and/or previously failed IUI
  • Individuals utilizing donor eggs
  • Individuals utilizing eggs previously preserved via vitrification (flash- frozen)
  • Individuals utilizing donor sperm for IVF
  • Individuals utilizing surgically-collected and/or previously frozen sperm
  • Individuals with previous failed standard fertilization during an IVF cycle
  • Individuals with unexplained infertility

Why come to NRM for ICSI?

Our embryologists have over 50 years of laboratory experience. Combined with our up-to-date embryology laboratory, NRM strives to offer you the highest chance of success in your IVF cycle.
