    Conventional versus ICSI –IVF Approach

    In the conventional IVF, oocytes and the male sperms are kept together for successful fertilization and in this procedure, the sperms as per their mobility and quality penetrates the eggs and lead to fertilization. For this approach with each egg set of sperm cells of specific concentration are kept to ensure fertilization.
    In the conventional IVF, eggs and sperms interact between the gametes that mimic the conditions of fallopian tubes so for this procedure there is requirement of specific semen concentration so some males could not go for this procedure if they are having low count or low quality of sperms and even if the mobility of sperms is not sufficient then also this conventional method get fails.
    Whereas in the ICSI-IVF method if the male partner does not have the specific concentration of semen then also can give his sample for fertilization as best quality sperm can be directly injected in the egg for fertilization. So this improved and modern procedure has given many benefits to childless couples and improved the chances of pregnancy even if the couple is suffering due to male or female infertility issue.
    However, the patient has to pay additional ICSI treatment cost along with the basic cost of conventional IVF but can sit relax for the successful pregnancy with this procedure
