It has been vital in achieving our goal of a maximum pregnancy rate with a minimal risk of multiple pregnancies. In the lab, our embryologist, Dr. Shari Olson, performs this procedure by capturing an individual sperm cell and injecting it into the mature egg by means of a small pipette. This process is repeated for each individual egg. We are encouraged with the results that we have had using this procedure at the Rocky Mountain Center for Reproductive Medicine. For some couples, ICSI has overcome severe male infertility when only a few sperm were available for fertilization.
Many individuals eventually regret the decision to have a tubal ligation.
While this is considered a permanent form of contraception, patients do have the option of surgically reuniting the fallopian tubes through a process called a microscopic tubal reanastomosis. This can commonly be done as an outpatient with excellent results. Depending on other infertility factors, most couples are able to conceive in a short interval of time. The best choice for an individual would require a consultation to consider all other fertility factors. Determining the cause of infertility can be accomplished by several easy tests.
