Befruktningsmetoden ICSI blir brukt i nesten halvparten av alle prøverørsbehandlinger. Sannsynligheten for å lykkes er like god som ved vanlig IVF, selv når mannens sædkvalitet er kraftig nedsatt.
Vi tar i bruk metoden når
- mannen har alvorlig nedsatt sædkvalitet
- egget ikke har latt seg befrukte gjennom vanlig prøverørsbefruktning (IVF)
The fertilization method ICSI is used in almost half of all In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments. The probability of success is just as good as with regular IVF, even when the man’s sperm quality is greatly reduced.
The method is used when:
- the man has severely reduced sperm quality
- the egg has not been fertilized through regular In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
ICIV – a combination of IVF and ICSI
Sometimes, on a rare occasion, we do something called ICIV. In this treatment half of the eggs are fertilized with regular In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and the other half with microinjection (ICSI). By doing this, we don’t have to end the treatment if it turns out that the sperm cells cannot fertilize the egg, or that the egg won’t be fertilized the usual way. This treatment is done after an assessment of a number of criteria.
