About ovarian stimulation
IVF + ICSI
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a powerful assisted reproductive technology (ART) that is usually performed in cases of male infertility.
IUI | Ovarian Stimulation
IUI
IUI is most often prescribed as an infertility treatment in cases where couples have been unsuccessfully attempting to have a baby for at least a year and other causes of infertility have been ruled out.
Mini IVF | Ovarian Stimulation
Mini IVF
Minimal stimulation IVF, also referred to as mini IVF, uses lower doses of fertility medication than traditional IVF during the egg stimulation process and sometimes at egg retrieval.
Ovarian Stimulation | Natural cycle IVF
Natural Cycle IVF
Natural Cycle IVF is an IVF treatment without the use of stimulation drugs. During the Natural Cycle IVF, only the follicles naturally formed during the menstrual cycle are used for treatment.
The IVF + ICSI Process
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a powerful assisted reproductive technology (ART) that is usually performed in cases of male infertility. It is a major advance in modern fertility treatment because it enables fertility specialists to directly address the problem of male factor infertility. The procedure directly introduces an individual sperm cell into each of the eggs obtained during the IVF process. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus to initiate pregnancy. ICSI has proven to be a truly revolutionary technology, giving new hope to many couples who had previously been unable to conceive.
An IVF-ICSI procedure includes several steps that may vary per patient, according to the prescribed treatment plan.
At First IVF, our process commonly involves:
Step 1
Ovarian Stimulation
Women usually produce one egg from their ovaries during normal ovulation. In order to increase the chances of fertilization, we give the patient fertility medication at the start of her menstrual cycle to encourage the release of multiple eggs.
Step 2
Egg Retrieval
Eggs are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to guide a hollow needle through the pelvic cavity to remove the eggs. Medication is provided to reduce and remove potential discomfort.
Step 3
Sperm Collection & ICSI
On the day of egg retrieval, a semen sample is taken to fertilize the retrieved eggs. To increase chances of fertilization, a single sperm is injected into each egg using a precision needle.
Step 4
Embryo Transfer
Finally, we transfer the embryo in a minor procedure that does not require sedation.
