What is the experience of the UCSF IVF laboratory with the ICSI procedure?
baby born from an ICSI procedure in the Bay Area in 1995. Our two ICSI embryologists have collectively over 12 years of ICSI experience. The most important indicator of ICSI success appears to be the fertilization rate achieved with the ICSI procedure. The fertilization rate using our ICSI technique in the UCSF IVF laboratory is exceptional (currently 80-85%). That is to say, on average for every ten eggs injected, 8 eggs will fertilize normally. As you can imagine, the procedure is a technically difficult one and requires meticulous control and precision to successfully perform (see picture).
