Which specialist performs ICSI?

ICSI is a form of assisted reproduction in which an embryologist injects a single sperm into an egg in the laboratory. A reproductive medicine specialist coordinates assessment, ovarian stimulation if needed, egg collection, laboratory planning and embryo transfer decisions. Nurses, ultrasound staff and other clinicians may support different appointments. The specialist explains whether ICSI fits your circumstances and how sperm and egg factors affect the plan.

Choose a fertility service led by a reproductive medicine specialist. Bring previous fertility records, medication details and relevant reports for both partners. Ask who will monitor treatment, who performs egg collection and embryo transfer, and how the clinic communicates laboratory updates. Take medicines exactly as prescribed and report illness or unexpected symptoms before a procedure.

During fertility treatment, contact the clinic for significant abdominal swelling, breathing difficulty, severe pain, faintness or bleeding. Seek urgent medical help for collapse, severe breathlessness or heavy bleeding. After egg collection or transfer, follow the clinic's instructions for fever, worsening pain or concerning bleeding rather than waiting for the next appointment.

Ask why ICSI is being suggested, which clinician will perform each stage, how eggs and sperm are handled in the laboratory, what medication monitoring involves, and when you will receive the treatment plan.
