When is ICSI recommended?
ICSI may be the best option in several situations your doctor determines after assessment:
A marked drop in count or motility, or high abnormal forms, that makes natural conception difficult.
Relying on sperm retrieved surgically from the testicle (MicroTESE).
A raised percentage of sperm DNA fragmentation affecting fertilisation.
No pregnancy despite trying, or when simpler methods have not worked.

Treatment, step by step
A clear journey that usually spans a few weeks from start to embryo transfer.
- 1
Assessment & planning
Investigations for both partners and selection of the right protocol and timing for each stage.
- 2
Ovarian stimulation
Stimulating medication with close ultrasound monitoring to develop a suitable number of mature eggs.
- 3
Egg retrieval & fertilisation
Eggs are retrieved under light anaesthesia, the sperm are prepared, and each egg is injected with a selected sperm in the lab.
- 4
Embryo care & transfer
Embryos are grown in the lab for a few days, then the best is selected, transferred, and pregnancy is monitored.
IVF & ICSI: common questions
How long is a cycle?
A cycle usually spans a few weeks from the start of stimulation to embryo transfer, and the team gives you a detailed timeline for your case.
What are the success rates?
They vary from couple to couple with many factors — the wife’s age and the quality of eggs and sperm. Your doctor explains realistic expectations for your case after a full assessment, without absolute promises.
Are the procedures painful?
Stimulation injections are simple, egg retrieval is done under light anaesthesia so the wife feels nothing during it, and embryo transfer is a quick, simple step that usually needs no anaesthesia.
What is the husband’s role in this journey?
It begins with a precise diagnosis and improving sperm quality before ICSI, and may include surgical retrieval when needed — the core specialty of Misr Andrology Center.
Can spare embryos be frozen?
Yes, viable surplus embryos can be frozen for a later attempt without repeating the full stimulation and retrieval, as suits your case.
