From the first day of the cycle to embryo transfer, this is the ICSI journey.
The steps of ICSI
- Ovarian stimulation with specific medications.
- Ultrasound follow-up until the eggs reach a certain size.
- Egg retrieval under light anesthesia.
- Injecting the eggs with sperm.
- Monitoring the embryos and transferring the best ones to the uterus.
Does age affect ICSI success?
Yes. Success in ICSI depends on the wife's age:
- Before 35: a higher chance of success and better egg quality.
- Between 35 and 40: there is still a chance, but it is lower.
- After 40: the chances drop, and sometimes we consider freezing or other options depending on the case.
If you're thinking about starting and aren't sure about the right time, book a consultation to discuss your case.
