IVF- it is an assisted reproductive process where the sperm of a male is kept with the egg of a female together outside the body in a culture dish or test tube. It is implanted in the female’s uterus when it results in an embryo.

ICSI– In the ICSI process, with the help of a miniature injecting pipette, a single sperm is injected into the egg and kept in the incubator for Fertilization. Once Fertilization occurs, the embryos are observed for 1-5 days before it is transferred to the woman’s uterus.

IVF (In-vitro Fertilization) and ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) are the ways to conceive when couples have fertility issues. Both methods include insemination outside the body and implantation of the embryo in the uterus. The main difference between IVF and ICSI is the egg fertilization method. In IVF, multiple sperms are added to each egg with the hope that any of them will result in an embryo. In ICSI, the male infertility factor obstructs the pregnancy because of having poor-quality sperm. Then, by using the microscope, the embryologist chooses one sperm of the best quality. In due course, they injected that sperm into the egg to make it an embryo.

After some days, the embryologist will check on the sperm and egg. If multiple embryos are formed, either one or two, in specific cases, will be implanted in the uterus. The surplus will be frozen to use later in the future if the treatment is unsuccessful.

Why Do You Need IVF?

• Damaged fallopian tube
• Blockage in the fallopian tube
• Mild cases of male infertility
• Anovulation
• Endometriosis
• Unexplained infertility

Why Do You Need ICSI? 

• Male infertility factor
• Blockage in the male reproductive part
• Low sperm count and low mobility
• Unexplained infertility
• Sperm has a high level of DNA damage
• At least one unsuccessful IVF

ICSI and IVF are equally effective. When the question is to choose the best, it depends on the factor responsible for infertility. In IVF, multiple embryos are formed, so the best embryo is selected among many. It increases the chance of successful pregnancy. Mostly, couples with infertility prefer IVF as it has greater chances of pregnancy.

When it comes to ICSI, if semen analysis shows low sperm count, poor quality of sperm, low sperm motility or already had one unsuccessful cycle of IVF. Doctors recommend ICSI. In a nutshell, when the male fertility factor is the primary concern. Then, ICSI is the best option. Again, ICSI has a higher success rate too.
