Your visit at a glance
Start by organising your questions by email. Your doctor’s assessment guides tests and treatment; existing reports are a starting point, without arranging a full set of tests yourself.
- What to prepare
- Semen analysis and previous fertilisation or IVF records. You can enquire before obtaining reports.
- How care connects
- ICSI is a fertilisation procedure within IVF, coordinated with retrieval, sperm preparation and culture.
- Records to retain
- Reason for ICSI, consent documents, and fertilisation and culture results.
- How to check costs
- ICSI is a separate laboratory item; check the IVF cycle, medication, retrieval, culture and transfer separately.
ICSI — intracytoplasmic sperm injection
An embryologist injects one sperm into an egg. ICSI changes the fertilisation step within IVF; it is not a complete treatment cycle or a universal way to improve live-birth rates.
It may be discussed for significant sperm abnormalities or previous poor or failed fertilisation. Ask what finding supports its use instead of conventional fertilisation.

Risks and treatment outcomes
An egg can be damaged during micromanipulation. Injection does not guarantee fertilisation, a transferable embryo or live birth. The wider stimulation, retrieval and transfer risks still apply.

Questions to ask
- Which result makes ICSI appropriate?
- Is the charge per cycle or based on egg numbers?
