Your ICSI cycle begins on Day 1–2 of menstruation, followed by 10–12 days of ovarian stimulation with daily hormone injections and ultrasound monitoring to build mature eggs. Around Day 12, a “trigger shot” (hCG) is given, and egg retrieval happens 34–36 hours later via a simple procedure under mild sedation at the clinic https://risaaivf.com/icsi-treatment-process-a-step-by-step-guide/?utm_. On retrieval day, your partner provides a sperm sample, which is washed and prepared for the ICSI fertilization—a single healthy sperm is injected into each mature egg. Over the next 3–5 days, embryos develop in the lab, often reaching the blastocyst stage for transfer or freezing. Around 2 weeks after transfer, a pregnancy test is done to confirm success.
