If previous IVF attempts have not resulted in successful fertilisation, your fertility specialist may recommend you consider ICSI. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialised
form of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) that is a more direct approach in helping
you achieve a successful pregnancy to term.
With 1 out of 4 ICSI cycles leading to the delivery of a healthy child in Australia, this technique offers a promising option for couples facing fertility challenges. Please contact us today for a
confidential and compassionate discussion about your journey ahead.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) involves the direct insertion of a single sperm into the centre of a mature egg by our skilled embryologist.
ICSI is particularly beneficial in cases of poor or low-quality sperm, sperm extracted surgically (TESA), instances where thawed eggs are used, and for couples opting for pre-implantation genetic testing. The process entails the careful selection of a single sperm using a delicate glass needle, which is then injected into a chosen egg. Post-injection, the eggs are cultivated in labelled, sterile culture dishes within an incubator, typically overnight.
Our goal is to empower you with knowledge and understanding, enabling you to make informed decisions about your fertility journey.
Whether you’re just beginning to consider ICSI or are already familiar with the process, we’re here to offer guidance, insight, and support every step of the way.
Sperm is obtained from the male partner.
After about two weeks, a test is done to see if the procedure was successful and pregnancy has occurred.
ICSI bypasses many of the barriers to fertilisation and can be an effective treatment for couples where male factor infertility is a significant issue or in cases where previous IVF attempts have failed due to fertilisation issues.
If you choose to take this path, you’ll need to keep in mind that if you wish to use a sperm donor, you’ll need to go through a selection and screening process to ensure the donor is a suitable match and to address any legal or ethical considerations.
Cost is another factor. ICSI can be more expensive than traditional IVF due to the additional specialised process of injecting the sperm into the egg.
