What is UCSF Medical Centers IVF laboratorys experience with ICSI?
Our IVF laboratory was responsible for the first baby born from an ICSI procedure in the Bay Area — this was in 1995. Our two ICSI embryologists collectively have over 12 years of ICSI experience. Our fertilization rate using the ICSI technique is exceptional, currently 80 percent to 85 percent. That means that for every 10 eggs injected, about eight will fertilize normally. The procedure is technically difficult and requires meticulous control and precision to perform successfully.
