FAQ – Sperm & Male Fertility

Is IVF an option for couples with male factor infertility?

  • IVF can be a highly practical and effective option for couples with male factor infertility, depending on the nature of the male factor and any potential female-side factors. This is because the fertilization of the egg can be performed in the laboratory using sperm from the male partner or a sperm donor. With the advent of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), a major breakthrough in fertility technology, only one viable sperm is needed to effectively fertilize the egg.
