ICSI – Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection – is the most successful form of treatment for men who are infertile and is used in nearly half of all IVF treatments (HFEA 2010). ICSI only requires one sperm, which is injected directly into the egg. The fertilised egg (embryo) is then transferred to your uterus (womb) (HFEA 2009a)

When it comes to sperm, not talking about it means many couples trying for a baby may be missing out on information that could improve their chances… information that could help reduce the loss of valuable time and financial costs and – not least – the emotional heartache that can be hardest of all.

Safe, clinical, practical and effective.
