Stages of oocyte division n ICSI
The stages of oocyte division in ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) include:
- Follicular aspiration: The oocyte(s) is/are retrieved from the ovary using a hollow needle.
- Injection: A single sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of the oocyte using a small glass needle.
- Fertilization: The injected sperm fertilizes the oocyte and forms a zygote.
- Culture: The zygote(s) is/are then cultured in a laboratory setting to allow for proper development and growth.
- Transfer: The resulting embryo(s) is/are then transferred to the uterus for implantation and possible pregnancy.
The first stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection:
The first stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection, also known as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), is the retrieval of the oocyte(s) from the ovary. This is typically done by a procedure called follicular aspiration, in which a hollow needle is inserted into the ovary to retrieve the oocyte(s) from the follicles. This is usually done under ultrasound guidance, to aid in the accurate and safe retrieval of the oocyte(s). The retrieved oocyte(s) are then used in the next stage of ICSI, which is the injection of a single sperm directly into the cytoplasm of the oocyte.
The second stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection:
The second stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection, also known as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), is the injection of a single sperm directly into the cytoplasm of the oocyte. This is done using a small glass needle under high magnification with a microscope. A single sperm is carefully selected and aspirated into the tip of the needle. The needle is then inserted into the oocyte and the sperm is deposited into the cytoplasm. This step is to ensure fertilization of the oocyte.
The third stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection:
The third stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection, also known as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), is fertilization. This is the process where the injected sperm fertilizes the oocyte and forms a zygote. The fertilization process begins as soon as the sperm is injected into the oocyte. The sperm will then bind to the oocyte's membrane and begin to release its genetic material. The oocyte will then undergo the process of meiosis, where the chromosomes are divided and the egg will become a zygote. The zygote contains all the genetic information necessary for the development of an embryo.
The fourth stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection:
The fourth stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection, also known as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), is the culture of the zygote(s). After the fertilization, the zygote(s) are placed in a laboratory culture dish with specific conditions that mimic the environment inside the uterus. The culture medium provides the zygote(s) with the necessary nutrients, oxygen, and a suitable temperature to support the development and growth of the embryo(s). Depending on the clinic's protocol, the culture period may vary from 1 to 6 days, during which time the zygote(s) will divide and form a multicellular embryo. The stage of development of the embryo(s) will be monitored regularly, and only the best quality embryos will be selected for transfer to the uterus.
Embryo transfer to the mother's womb:
Embryo transfer to the mother's womb is the final stage in the stages of division of the egg by microscopic injection, also known as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). After the culture period, the best quality embryo(s) will be selected for transfer. The procedure is usually done 2-5 days after egg retrieval, depending on the stage of development of the embryo(s). The embryo(s) are placed in a thin, flexible catheter and inserted through the cervix into the uterus. The procedure is done under ultrasound guidance to ensure proper placement of the embryo(s) in the uterus. In some cases, a small amount of a culture medium is left in the uterus to provide extra nourishment for the embryo(s).
After the transfer, the patient will be instructed to rest for a short period before resuming normal activities. The patient will be given a pregnancy test about two weeks later to confirm if the procedure was successful.
