Summary

The aim of conventional in vitro fertilisation (cIVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment cycles is to help people with fertility problems achieve their dream of having healthy live offspring. Successful treatment involves many steps in order to ensure that the oocytes are safely collected and prepared, so that fertilisation can take place in vitro. Once two pronuclei form in the oocytes, each zygote then has the opportunity to develop into a pre-implantation embryo. The most viable embryo can then be selected for transfer to the uterus for implantation hopefully to take place.
