Create a family with IVF and ICSI treatment

If you or your partner are facing male fertility issues, then ICSI fertility treatment may be best for you.

What is ICSI?

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a powerful fertility treatment where sperm is injected directly into the egg, offering hope for couples facing male infertility.

What's the difference between IVF and ICSI?

Both IVF and ICSI are a type of artificial insemination that fertilise collected eggs with sperm to create an embryo that’s later transferred into the womb. The difference lies in how this happens. Sperm and eggs are left to naturally fertilise during IVF, whereas ICSI individually injects single sperm into each egg to aid the process.

The ICSI process

ICSI fertility treatment starts with a virtual doctor consultation where you and your partner can share your medical history and treatment preferences. Following the results of your fertility tests, you will decide whether ICSI is the most appropriate treatment for you.

The ICSI treatment process can be broken down into the below steps:

ICSI Treatment Success Rates

While ICSI is not always a guaranteed successful procedure, it has a slightly higher rate of success compared to IVF on its own. This is due to the fact that the injection process ensures that the sperm always enters the egg, which is more likely to result in an embryo.

FAQs about ICSI treatment


Is ICSI better than IVF?

IVF and ICSI are just as effective however for some couples, ICSI can be more successful. Particularly for those with male fertility issues. This is due to individual sperm being injected into the egg.

Is ICSI more expensive than IVF?

The cost of ICSI is slightly more expensive than IVF due to the enhancements in how the embryos are fertilised. With Apricity’s all inclusive packages, ICSI is £9,255 whereas IVF is £7,895.

How do I test male fertility?

The main way to check male fertility is with a semen analysis. This looks at the quality and quantity of sperm including appearance, concentration and motility. Our at-home

are a great place to start and are included within our ICSI treatment package.

Who is ICSI best for?

ICSI is recommended for those with male infertility issues. This may include low sperm count, poor motility or abnormally shaped sperm. It is also a next option for those who have previously gone through IVF.

Can you have ICSI if you don't have male infertility?

According to the HFEA, the chances of pregnancy are the same for those who don’t have evidence of male infertility, regardless of whether you have IVF or IVF and ICSI together.

How painful is ICSI?

ICSI is not a painful fertility treatment. Some patients may experience minimum discomfort after the egg collection procedure however it is carried out under anaesthetic. Injections required during ovary stimulation may cause a little pain but are mostly just slightly uncomfortable.
