ACFS embryologist preforming ICSI

Here you are watching a very sophisticated and technically difficult procedure known as ICSI or intracytoplasmic sperm injection. ICSI is done for male factor infertility, but Dr. Jay S. Nemiro and the embryology staff at ACFS have found much higher fertilization rates than standard IVF ( an average of 87%) using ICSI as a means of fertilization. The advantage is the production of more embryos, allowing a larger pool of embryos to choose "the best" for transfer and thus increasing pregnancy rates and also having extra embryos to freeze, or cryopreserve, for future children; thus, eliminating the need to stimulate again and using "younger" embryos when you attempt another pregnancy in a few years. In order to get these high fertilization rates, ICSI takes a high degree of experience and expertise.
