HIGH QUALITY IVF CLINIC IN KOCHI
We provide high quality care in the specialty of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and subspecialty of Reproductive Medicine & In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) in a supportive environment, paying special attention to the particular needs of our patients.
Who is IVF/ICSI Recommended for?
Couples who have had poor or no fertilisation during standard IVF, as well as men who have: poor sperm morphology (abnormally shaped sperm) poor sperm motility (slow moving sperm) a low sperm count an obstruction which prevents sperm release, such as vasectomy anti-sperm antibodies (antibodies produced by the man’s body that may inhibit sperm function) a vasectomy reversal that was unsuccessful or resulted in a very low sperm count or very poor quality sperm
What are the Potential Risks?
As ICSI is more invasive and requires more handling than standard IVF insemination techniques, there is a small chance (<2%) that the egg may be damaged during the procedure – resulting in a non-viable egg.
Treatment Process
IVF/ICSI is the process of fertilization by extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and then manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo(s) is then transferred to the uterus.
IVF/ICSI process
Before ICSI can be done, mature eggs must be retrieved from the female partner during a standard IVF cycle. The male partner’s semen sample is prepared in the lab to isolate as many healthy moving sperm as possible.
After allowing the eggs to rest for two to three hours following their removal, the tight outer coating of cells (cumulus) is removed from each egg. Only then can we be sure the egg is mature enough to undergo ICSI.
Immature eggs cannot be injected. However, they can be incubated for a further two to six hours and reassessed. If they mature in that time they can still be injected along with the other mature eggs. A special instrument is used to hold the egg in place. It is so small you can barely see the tip with the naked eye.
