If testing reveals the male partner of a couple having difficult getting pregnant has low concentrations of sperm and below average sperm motility, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection may be the suggested treatment. This method of treatment is typically only suggested when the sperm concentration is less than 15-20 million per millimeter, or the motility of sperm is less than 35% or the sperm has abnormalities that might prevent the ability to penetrate the female egg.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is an treatment that involves the injection of the male partner's sperm into the middle of the female partner's egg. It involves specialized equipment that allows treatment experts (embryologists) to carefully select healthy sperm in a hollow needle; and then the injection of that healthy sperm into the egg membrane. The female partner will need to take medications prior to the treatment to stimulate the egg production, and the eggs are retrieved from her body in order for the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection with in vitro fertilization to occur.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection treatment has a fairly high success rate with about 70-85% undergoing the treatment resulting in a normal fertilization. If the egg is fertilized successfully, they are returned to the female partner's uterus with the embryo transfer

procedure. The couple must wait eleven days- after which a blood pregnancy test is performed on the female partner to determine whether or not the pregnancy occurred.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is often the treatment that is recommended when the traditional insemination (mixing the eggs and sperm together in hopes that a sperm will fertilize the egg) doesn't work for the couple. With such a high success rate, it should definitely be a consideration if other methods of treatment do not work for you.
