ICSI
About
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):
At Baja Fertility Services, we offer the advanced ICSI technique, a specialized form of in vitro fertilization. This procedure involves the microinjection of a single sperm directly into the egg, providing an effective solution for various causes of male infertility.
What is ICSI?
ICSI is an assisted reproductive procedure that enables egg fertilization through the direct injection of a single sperm into the egg’s cytoplasm. This technique is especially useful in cases where natural fertilization or conventional IVF is not possible or has been unsuccessful.
The ICSI Process
1. Ovarian Stimulation: Stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs.
2. Egg Retrieval: Extracting the eggs through an ultrasound-guided procedure.
3. Sperm Preparation: Selecting and preparing the best quality sperm.
4. Microinjection: Injecting a single sperm into each egg.
5. Embryo Culture: Monitoring and developing the resulting embryos.
6. Embryo Transfer: Transferring the viable embryos into the woman’s uterus.
INDICATIONS FOR ICSI
ICSI is primarily recommended in the following cases:
• Male Infertility: Issues such as low sperm count (oligozoospermia), absence of sperm (azoospermia), poor motility (asthenozoospermia), or abnormal morphology (teratozoospermia).
• Retrograde Ejaculation: Difficulties in semen release during ejaculation.
• Surgically Retrieved Sperm: In cases of obstructive azoospermia, where sperm is obtained from the epididymis or testicle.
• Failure of Conventional IVF: Cases where fertilization has not been achieved through standard IVF.
• Valuable Sperm Samples: Patients with cancer who have preserved semen prior to treatment.
• Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): When genetic analysis of embryos is required before implantation.
• Fertilization After Oocyte Cryopreservation: Use of previously frozen eggs.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the causes of infertility?
They can be social or medical in nature. Among the social causes are the delay in seeking to have children and the stress experienced by both men and women in daily life. Among general medical causes, we find extreme obesity, anorexia nervosa, serious illnesses, thyroid disorders, substance and medication abuse, alcohol and tobacco use, and chemotherapy. About 20% of cases remain unexplained.
Medically, the most common conditions affecting women are issues with the Fallopian tubes, ovulation disorders, uterine cavity abnormalities, and endometriosis, among others.
In men, the issues typically involve sperm count, motility, and abnormal sperm morphology.
Is infertility only present in women?
Although many people associate infertility with women, it actually occurs with equal frequency in both men and women.
Do I need to bring my laboratory tests? What are they used for?
It is important. If you have already been in consultation or treatment for infertility, you should bring any tests you have previously undergone, such as hormonal tests, ultrasounds, X-rays (such as hysterosalpingography), semen analyses, among others.
Before starting an assisted reproduction treatment cycle, you will be required to have HIV testing, hepatitis B blood tests, hepatitis C blood tests, and VDRL testing for syphilis.
It is important to bring your test results if you have them; otherwise, the clinic will schedule them on the appropriate days for their performance.

What will happen at my first fertility consultation?
Bring the following with you if applicable:
Make a list of all your questions so you won’t forget them when you are with your doctor.
A history of your fertility (summary of any previous treatments).
If you have undergone fertility treatment elsewhere, you have the right to request a report from that clinic detailing your treatment history.
Blood test results.
Semen analysis results.
Reports from previous examinations such as X-rays or any surgeries you may have had.
The initial consultation lasts approximately one hour, and your partner should attend with you. You should arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to fill out a form and have your vital signs taken before seeing the doctor.
A complete and comprehensive medical history will be taken from both partners, if applicable. A nurse will be present during any gynecological examination. If necessary, the husband will be asked to provide a semen sample for analysis (he can also request to provide the sample later if he is uncomfortable doing so on the day of the appointment).
In which cases is Artificial Insemination recommended?
It is generally recommended when sperm count or motility is low, after failed induction and intercourse treatments, or after endometriosis treatments.
Is age important when undergoing assisted reproduction treatment?
Assisted reproduction has given us greater opportunities to welcome a new loved one into our homes; however, pregnancy is not 100% guaranteed. Age is a very important factor for success. The recommended age range is between 20 and 35 years old. After this age, ovarian reserve begins to decline significantly, reducing the chances of pregnancy and increasing the risk of genetic abnormalities, such as Down syndrome.
