ICSI/IMCI at Life Line Reproduction Center
Development of reproductive technologies allow childless couples with diagnosed infertility to have a long-awaited child. In complicated cases, when minimal quantity and low activity of sperm is detected in a partner, IVF program in its standard form may fail to produce the expected result. Many clinics offer such couples to use donor sperm, or think about adoption. Life Line Reproduction Center, by using advanced ART technologies offers a chance to deliver the own and perfectly healthy child for to couples where a partner suffers from infertility close with absolute one.
The ICSI method is based on thorough laboratory screening of the most viable and genetically transformed semens which after additional treatment join with under a microscope with the female reproductive cell ensuring its fertilization. The ICSI method is indicated for specially complicated types of infertility.
Modern reproductology methods – ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and IMSI (intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection) – is an effective help for couples with extremely complicated and severe types of infertility
When ICSI method is indicated
For men
- asthenozoospermia with predominance of low motility semen (over 40%)
- teratozoospermia with predominance of deformed semen and extremely low number of morphologically normal cells
- obstructive azoospermia where sperm can only be obtained by puncture
- presence of a significant level of anti-sperm antibodies in ejaculate (50% and more)
- loss of quality characteristics of semen as a result of cryopreservation
Timely visit to a medical specialist increases the chance of the pregnancy onset by several times
When ICSI method is indicated

- obstructive azoospermia where sperm can only be obtained by puncture
- presence of a significant level of anti-sperm antibodies in ejaculate (50% and more)
- loss of quality characteristics of semen as a result of cryopreservation
- need for detailed genetic diagnostics of a partner’s biomaterial
For women
- age over 40 years when natural fertilization is difficult
- small number of oocyte obtained during standard IVF (in vitro fertilization) procedure
- low ovum fertilization rate with other reproductive technologies used
When ICSI method can be applied
For patients with more severe infertility diagnosis (which many medical institutions regard as hopeless), Life Line Reproduction Center offers IMSI method with semen-by semen screening under a microscope with maximum magnification. The procedure is suitable for those couples for whom other IVF techniques (including IMSI) proved ineffective. The IMSI method implies puncturing of a testicle (i.e. with TESA technique) in order to obtain at least several viable spermatozoids.
