This procedure is often recommended when both fallopian tubes are blocked. It's also used in the presence of endometriosis, cervical factor infertility, and various disorders which disruption regular ovulation.
A doctor may also recommend this procedure when the cause of fertility can't be established or when the infertility is caused by some disorder of the male.
The only disadvantage to this treatment is the increased risk of multiple births. And it only goes to reason since there is more than one fertilized egg being implanted into the female partner. IVF requires quite a bit of monitoring as well, in the form of frequent blood tests and daily hormone injections.
ICSI, or Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (now you see why it's been shortened to ICSI), is another form of ART. In this one, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg for the purpose of fertilization.
Once the egg is fertilized then the IVF process is used. Especially effective in couples who have tried all the other standard treatments, ICSI it's also extremely helpful for those situations in which the man's concentration of sperm is low.
