IVF ICSI Cyprus

In Vitro Fertilization requires the IVF specialist to implement a special treatment protocol, customized to each patient. A customized treatment protocol is the key to success in any IVF treatment and takes into consideration a number of parameters including:

• Your age
• Your reproductive history
• Your treatment history (if any)
• Infertility screening
• Diagnostic Imaging
• Advanced testing if there is a history of failed treatments and/or recurrent miscarriages

Once a customized treatment protocol has been established, the next step would be the medication phase. Your medication regimen and the precise medication doses are adjusted according to the parameters above. 

Once the eggs and sperm sample have been collected, they are manually combined together with the ICSI procedure. ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a method where our embryologist at North Cyprus IVF Center hand selects the “best performing” sperm cells under the microscope based on their movements (motility) and appearance (morphology). Once the best sperm cells are selected individually, they are used to inject directly into the collected oocytes (eggs) for fertilization to occur. That way, instead of placing eggs and sperm cells in a dish, waiting for fertilization to occur on their own, the embryologist can directly place the sperm cell into the egg cell, facilitating penetration into the egg, and therefore, obtaining fertilization. ICSI has dramatically reduced IVF failures due to sperm related problems.

At North Cyprus IVF Centre, ICSI is offered as a standard procedure during all types of IVF treatments, free of charge. It is a method that helps keep our success rates high and this is exactly why it has become an integral part of our IVF treatments.
