IVF or In Vitro Fertilisation, refers to the most widely spread method of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). The Latin term 'in vitro' means anything that is cultivated outside a living organism - literally“in a glass.” Early biological experiments involving the cultivation of tissues outside their living organisms, were carried out in glass containers such as test tubes, petri dishes and beakers, hence the term “test tube baby.”
During in vitro fertilisation, collected eggs are fertilized outside the womb and resulting embryos are transferred into the uterus of the woman. In the case of IVF with Egg Donation, the eggs of the donor are used for fertilization outside of the womb, and then the resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus of the female recipient.
What is IVF with ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)?
The test-tube fertilization process has been replaced with ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) because of its proven success rates.
ICSI is the process by which one sperm is inserted into one egg, resulting in one embryo.
ICSI is more effective than IVF with a higher success rate because the sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of the egg stimulating the fertilization process.
ICSI requires only one sperm making it a successful treatment method for males with a low sperm count or poor quality sperm.
