  Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
• When is ICSI typically used?


  In cases of male infertility or if frozen egg/sperm/embryo is available
• How does ICSI differ from IVF?


  A single sperm is chosen and injected into the egg

• When is IMSI used?

  In cases of severe male infertility
• What is the success rate of IMSI when combined with IVF?


  35-45%
• What are the risks associated with IMSI?


  Less than 2% chance of egg damage and a 6% risk of birth defects
• What is surrogacy?


  A person with a uterus carries a baby to term for another couple
• What are some reasons for using surrogacy?


  Repeated IVF failures, same-sex/single men, and medical conditions that make pregnancy dangerous or impossible
• What are some challenges associated with surrogacy?


  It varies depending on the surrogate’s health and has no guarantee of successful pregnancy
• What is OI in the context of ART?


  Ovarian Induction, used for irregular menstrual cycles and unexplained infertility

  Between 15% and 25%
• What are some risks associated with IUI?


  Multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyperstimulation
• What does DI stand for?


  Donor Insemination
• When is DI used?


  When a person doesn’t produce viable sperm or is part of a same-sex couple or single parent
• What is the success rate of DI per cycle?


  15-25%
• What are some risks associated with DI?


  Increased risk of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy, preeclampsia, and infection
• What are donor eggs used for?


  When a person doesn’t produce viable eggs, has a history of miscarriage, or is at high risk of genetic disease
• What is the process for using donor eggs?


  Hormone injection stimulates the donor’s ovaries, and the egg is placed with sperm and inserted into the recipient’s uterus
• What is the success rate of using donor eggs per cycle?


  45-55%
• What are some risks associated with using donor eggs?


  Potential genetic issues, possibility of dropped egg donation cycle, high blood pressure, and premature delivery
• What are donor embryos used for?


  When a person or couple requires both donor sperm and donor eggs to achieve pregnancy
• What is the process for using donor embryos?


  The recipient undergoes medication, the embryo is thawed, and inserted
• What is the success rate of using donor embryos per transfer?
