Couples should consult a fertility specialist for possible ICSI treatment if they experience:

Inability to conceive naturally after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if the woman is over 35).

Abnormal semen analysis results, such as very low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shape.

History of repeated IVF failures, where eggs and sperm fail to fertilise naturally.

Previous failed fertility treatments, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Male factor infertility due to testicular surgery, infection, injury, or vasectomy.

Unexplained infertility, where no apparent reason is found after standard tests.

Women with advanced maternal age (above 35 years) or reduced ovarian reserve, for whom faster conception is advised.

 Risk Factors for Infertility (That May Lead to ICSI)

Increasing maternal age (above 35)

Smoking, alcohol, or drug use

Obesity or being underweight

Hormonal imbalances (e.g., PCOS in women)

Testicular injury, infection, or surgery in men

Genetic disorders

Exposure to radiation or toxins

 Do's:

Follow all the doctor's instructions for follow-up tests

 Don'ts:

 Recovery & Outlook

Women may experience mild bloating, spotting, or cramping after egg retrieval or embryo transfer.

Normal activities can be resumed within 1–2 days.

Success rates depend on age, sperm quality, and egg health.

Under 35 years: ~50–60% success per cycle.

Over 40 years: ~20–30% success per cycle.

Many couples achieve pregnancy within 1–3 ICSI cycles.

Emotional support is highly recommended during treatment.
