ICSI TREATMENT AT GEN FERTILITY
When Fertilisation Needs a More Precise Approach
Sometimes, bringing the egg and sperm together needs additional laboratory support.
At GEN Fertility, our ICSI treatment combines advanced embryology expertise, careful sperm selection and personalised fertility care to support fertilisation when conventional methods may not be appropriate.
One Journey. Five Carefully Guided Steps.
A carefully planned ICSI journey, combining personalised fertility care with precision embryology.

A Closer Look at Each Step
01— Evaluation & Personalised Planning
Your journey begins with understanding both partners. Fertility history, ovarian reserve, reproductive health and semen parameters are evaluated to determine whether ICSI may be appropriate and to plan treatment around your individual needs.
02 — Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring
Fertility medications are used to encourage the ovaries to develop multiple eggs. Your response is monitored through scans and, where appropriate, blood tests so the treatment can be adjusted to your individual response.
02 — Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring
Fertility medications are used to encourage the ovaries to develop multiple eggs. Your response is monitored through ultrasound scans and, where appropriate, hormone tests to help guide the treatment.
03 — Egg Retrieval & Sperm Collection
When the eggs are ready, they are carefully retrieved through a planned procedure. A sperm sample is collected and prepared in the laboratory. In some male-factor cases, surgically retrieved sperm may be considered when clinically appropriate.
04 —ICSI & Embryo Development
In the embryology laboratory, an embryologist selects a suitable sperm and carefully injects it directly into a mature egg. The eggs are then monitored for fertilisation, and resulting embryos are observed as they develop.

05 — Embryo Transfer & The Wait That Means Everything
An appropriate embryo may be gently transferred into the uterus according to your treatment plan.
Then comes the waiting period before the pregnancy test, with continued guidance from your fertility team.
MORE THAN AN ICSI PROCEDURE
Precision in the Lab. Personalised Care Throughout.
ICSI is one part of a carefully planned fertility journey. At GEN Fertility, clinical expertise and embryology work together to understand the factors affecting fertilisation and provide care based on the needs of both partners.

Success Factors
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a specialised fertilisation technique used as part of an IVF cycle. An embryologist selects a suitable sperm and injects it directly into a mature egg. Fertilised eggs are then monitored as they develop into embryos.
ICSI may be considered when there are significant sperm-related concerns, previous fertilisation difficulties, surgically retrieved sperm or other clinical circumstances where your fertility specialist and embryologist consider ICSI appropriate.

Preparing for Your ICSI Journey
ICSI begins with understanding why fertilisation may need additional support and planning treatment around both partners.
Fertility Evaluation
Relevant fertility investigations are performed for both partners. These may include ovarian reserve assessment, hormone tests, ultrasound and detailed semen analysis.
Male Fertility Assessment
Sperm count, movement and other semen parameters are evaluated. Depending on the findings, additional assessment may be recommended before treatment.
Personalised Treatment Planning
Your specialist determines whether ICSI is appropriate based on the couple’s fertility diagnosis, semen parameters, previous treatment history and other clinical factors.
Ovarian Stimulation
Fertility medications are used to encourage multiple follicles to develop, with your response monitored through ultrasound scans and, when appropriate, hormone tests.
Trigger Injection
Once follicles have reached an appropriate stage, a trigger injection is administered to support final egg maturation before egg retrieval.
Where Clinical Care Meets Precision Embryology
This stage brings egg retrieval, sperm preparation and specialised laboratory fertilisation together.
Egg Retrieval
Mature eggs are collected from the ovaries through a planned egg-retrieval procedure.
Sperm Collection or Retrieval
A semen sample is usually collected and prepared. In selected male-factor cases where sperm is not available in the ejaculate, surgical sperm retrieval may be considered when appropriate.
Sperm Selection
The embryology team identifies suitable sperm for the ICSI procedure based on laboratory assessment.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
A selected sperm is carefully injected directly into each suitable mature egg using specialised laboratory equipment.
Embryo Development
The injected eggs are monitored for fertilisation, and resulting embryos are carefully observed as they develop over the following days.
Embryo Transfer
An appropriate embryo may be transferred into the uterus. Depending on your treatment plan, your specialist may recommend a fresh or frozen embryo transfer.
The Wait, the Test & What Comes Next
Care continues after embryo transfer.
Post-Transfer Care
Continue prescribed medications and follow the activity and lifestyle recommendations provided by your fertility specialist.
The Waiting Period
The days following embryo transfer can naturally bring questions and emotions. Symptoms alone cannot reliably indicate whether implantation or pregnancy has occurred.
Pregnancy Test
A blood pregnancy test is usually planned at an appropriate interval after embryo transfer according to your treatment protocol.
If the Test Is Positive
Your fertility team will guide you through follow-up testing and early pregnancy monitoring.
If the Test Is Negative
Your specialist can review the treatment cycle, fertilisation and embryo-development information and discuss appropriate next steps with you.
The ICSI treatment cost in Hyderabad can vary depending on your IVF treatment plan, medications, investigations, laboratory requirements and whether procedures such as surgical sperm retrieval are required.
ICSI can help overcome certain barriers to fertilisation, but fertilisation is not guaranteed for every injected egg, and pregnancy is not guaranteed after embryo transfer. Outcomes depend on multiple female and male fertility factors.
Factors such as age, ovarian reserve, egg maturity and quality, sperm characteristics, embryo development, uterine health and underlying fertility conditions can influence treatment outcomes.
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE ICSI
