Find out the Easy process of ICSI in Bangalore
When the egg is ready to be extracted, the ICSI process is carried out.
Step 1: Retrieval
Either the man must produce a sperm sample by ejaculating into a cup, or the sperm must be surgically extracted. The sperm can be extracted in a number of different methods. The sperm retrieval technique may be conducted sooner in some situations, and the sperm may be frozen.
A small needle and ultrasound probe will be used to extract several eggs from the woman’s ovaries. Although this process is painless, it may produce minor bruising and stiffness.
Step 2: Sperm Injection into the Egg
The semen sample is then cleansed and a single sperm is extracted. With a very fine hollow needle, this is then inserted into an egg. The sperm does not have to swim through the cervical fluid because it is injected immediately. It can take up to 24 hours for sperm to fertilise an egg and form an embryo.
Step 3: Keeping an Eye on the Embryo
The fertilised embryos are preserved in a laboratory for up to 6 days after fertilisation. During this stage, they are watched for signs of development and growth. The fertilised embryos will not all be transported to the uterus of the woman. As a result, this phase is critical for selecting the healthiest and most viable embryos.
Step 4: Embryo Transfer
One or two embryos are chosen and transferred to the woman’s womb using an ultrasound-guided catheter once the embryo has reached a particular stage of development. This can happen two days after conception or five days afterwards.
