Why would couples need ICSI?

Why ICSI

ICSI helps to overcome fertility problems, such as:

• The male partner produces too few sperm to do artificial insemination (intrauterine insemination [IUI]) or IVF.

• The sperm may not move in a normal fashion.

• The sperm may have trouble attaching to the egg.

• A blockage in the male reproductive tract may keep sperm from getting out.

• Eggs have not fertilized by traditional IVF, regardless of the condition of the sperm.

• In vitro matured eggs are being used.

• Previously frozen eggs are being used.
