What is ICSI?

ICSI is a clinical procedure in which a sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization. The embryologist selects a single sperm to be injected directly into an egg, instead of fertilization taking place in a dish where many sperm are placed near an egg. Your specialist may recommend ICSI if there is a low sperm count or if sperm issues have been identified (poor morphology, poor motility).
