What is difference between ICSI and IVF?
The key difference between IVF and ICSI is how the sperm fertilizes the egg. In IVF, the egg and sperm (of which there are many) are left in a laboratory dish to fertilize on their own. In ICSI, the selected sperm is directly injected into the egg.
Why is ICSI used instead of IVF?
IVF is used for female infertility and unexplained infertility, and ICSI is used when there is a male cause of infertility. Sometimes ICSI is offered when there is no male cause of infertility, but research shows that this does not increase the chance of having a baby.
What is in vitro fertilization PPT?
Introduction • In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilised by sperm outside the body: in vitro. Evolved as a major treatment protocol for infertility.
What are the advantages of ICSI?
The main benefit of ICSI during IVF is an enhanced fertilization rate, which can increase the number of fertilized eggs available for transfer or freezing. For couples struggling with male factor infertility, ICSI can also increase your chances for a successful fertilization under normal insemination (such as IUI).
Is ICSI cheaper than IVF?
Cost. The ICSI procedure costs between $1,400 to $2,000. This is on top of the general IVF cost, which on average costs $12,000 to $15,000. It may cost more than this if other IVF options are being used.
What is fertilization PPT?

What are the disadvantages of ICSI?
The potential disadvantages of ICSI include: (1) potential for unknown risks to the egg or embryo, (2) the process of ICSI itself may damage embryos or it may degenerate the egg immediately.
What are the downsides of ICSI?
Some birth defects are associated with ICSI are Angelman syndrome, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, sex chromosome abnormalities, and hypospadias. Also, the risk of a male offspring having fertility issues increase slightly. There is a possibility of genetic transfer of infertility.
Are ICSI babies normal?
Retrospective data suggests that IVF and IVF/ICSI are safe. Health risks to both mother and offspring that are significantly increased with assisted reproduction include multiple gestation, preterm delivery (even in singleton pregnancy), and congenital abnormalities in the offspring.
