ICSI

The best way to know whether ICSI is right for you is through an individual consultation. We will look at your fertility testing, medical history, sperm health, previous treatment and goals to help you understand whether IVF, ICSI or another route may be most appropriate.

Age can influence ICSI outcomes because egg quality and quantity tend to change over time. However, ICSI success rates by age are only part of the picture. Sperm health, embryo quality, treatment history and your wider fertility profile also matter.

The ICSI meaning, in simple terms, is that one sperm is selected and injected directly into one egg. It is a laboratory technique used within IVF to support fertilisation in specific circumstances.

The cost of ICSI treatment can vary depending on what is included in the package, such as monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo culture, transfer and freezing. When comparing clinics, it is important to look beyond the starting price and understand exactly what is covered. At Thérapie Fertility, we believe ICSI pricing should be clear and transparent. The cost of ICSI treatment should be understood in the context of the full cycle, including monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo culture, fresh transfer and embryo freezing.

For most patients, an ICSI cycle takes about one month from the start of medication to the pregnancy test. The exact timeline can vary depending on your treatment plan and how your body responds during the cycle.

ICSI is not automatically more successful than IVF for everyone. It is simply a different fertilisation method. In cases of male-factor infertility, previous low fertilisation, or frozen eggs, ICSI may offer a better route to fertilisation. The most suitable option depends on your individual fertility background.
