Intracytoplasmic sperm injection, or ICSI, is a form of in vitro fertilization in which fertilization occurs outside of the body. First, egg cells are harvested and transferred to a special media in a laboratory dish. Within a few hours, a single sperm is injected through a fine needle into the center of an egg cell to aid in the process of fertilization. If successful, the cell will divide and form the beginning stages of an embryo. If necessary, the DNA of a single cell from an embryo may be checked to ensure that various genetic disorders are not present. Typically, several egg cells are harvested and fertilized at the same time then inserted back into the uterus to increase the chances that one will implant and develop into a successful pregnancy.

What is the ICSI?
it is the abbrivation of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
What is intracytoplasmic sperm injection?
types of assisted reproductive technologies .intracytoplasmic sperm injection.utilizes a manipulation technique that must be performed using a microscope to inject a single sperm into each egg. The fertilized eggs can then be returned to the uterus
What exactly does the word tese mean?
The word tese is an acronym for Testicular Sperm Extraction. This is a procedure where sperm is extracted from the testicles under local anesthesia for intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
What is fullform of icsi?
The full form of ICSI is "Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection." It is an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedure used in cases of male infertility where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg for fertilization.
Can a woman get a pregnancy injection With out having a sperm donor?
Nope, no sperm no baby.
Can a woman get pregnant while she has been on the injection for over a year and the man did not ejaculate in her?
No. No sperm= No baby.
What does amorphous bent neck sperm abnormality mean?
This study evaluated the influence of chemical activation of oocytes in cases with abnormal sperm morphology and previous low intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) fertilization rate. Fertilization, early cleavage and embryo quality were assessed according to individual abnormal sperm morphology with or without chemical activation of oocytes after ICSI in 56 consecutive cycles with different types of abnormal sperm morphology (A = amorphous head, B = tapered head, C = bent neck) having a history of previous failed or low fertilization rate. Chemical activation significantly increased fertilization rate in subgroup A (82.7 versus 36.7%, P = 0.0008) and subgroup B (81.7 versus 39.3%, P = 0.005), but not in subgroup C (48.2 versus 49.4%). There was no effect on early cleavage (25 h after injection) or on the number of good embryos on day 2 (48 h after injection) in the different subgroups. Chemical activation of oocytes after ICSI in selected cases with previous history of failed or low fertilization rate and 100% sperm abnormality may increase fertilization rate in some sperm morphological abnormalities (amorphous head and tapered head) but not in others (bent neck). However, there was no significant effect on early cleavage or number of good embryos in all subgroups.
Does it cost to get sperm injection to get pregnant?
Yes if you are using donor sperm you either get it from someone you know or you pay for donor sperm. If done in a doctors office there will also be a charge for the procedure of artificial insemination - the doctor will place the sperm in the uterus using a thin tube.
Can you get pregnant if sperm dripped on your stomach and was whipped on your vagina?
That is not the usual way it is done but, it could work. The most effective method is direct injection of the ejaculate into the vagina.
Is there a shot for men to stop having kids?
There is an experimental gel injection called Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance (RISUG) which is intended to temporarily sterilize a male for ten years by neutralizing all sperm he produces. It is currently still undergoing testing.

What happens to fertilize an egg?
To answers your question we must first explore the cells involved in fertilization and how they are produced. The male gamete, special cells used to reproduce that contain only 23 chromosomes, are called sperm cells. Sperm cells are produce in a part of the testes that are basically tiny tubes. Males only begin to produce these sperm cells after puberty. This is any where from 10 to 16 years of age for males. Females on the other hand are born with all the eggs cells or ova they will ever have. Like the male's gametes the female's gametes contain only 23 chromosomes. Around the age of 11 to 15 years old females begin to have their period. Most people commonly associate this with the beginning of ovulation, or when females release eggs to be fertilized into the fallopian tubes. However menstruation can be very irregular for the first 6 to 24 months after the first menstrual cycle has occurred. Once both males and females are able to produce mature gametes fertilization can occur. Fertilization occurs after a sperm cell penetrates an ovum and combines with it. This forms a cell that has 46 chromosomes and is known as a zygote. It is important to note that the two cells must combine, not simply sperm egg penetration. Sperm and ova can be combined by traditional means i.e. sexual replication, or alternative means such as in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
