Fertilization: Creating New Life at Rotunda Hygeia
At Rotunda Hygeia, we specialize in helping couples achieve the miracle of life through advanced reproductive techniques. Fertilization — the union of egg and sperm — is the critical step in conception, and our state-of-the-art IVF laboratory ensures this process happens under the best possible conditions.
What is Fertilization?
Fertilization is the process where a healthy sperm penetrates and fuses with a mature egg (oocyte), resulting in the formation of an embryo.
- In natural conception, this happens inside the fallopian tube.
- In assisted reproduction (like IVF or ICSI), fertilization is performed in the lab by our experienced embryologists.
How Does Fertilization Work in Assisted Reproduction?
At Rotunda Hygeia, fertilization can happen in two main ways, depending on the couple’s needs:
1. Conventional IVF
- The retrieved eggs are placed in a culture dish with thousands of sperm.
- The sperm swim to and naturally fertilize the egg.
- This method is suitable when sperm count and motility are normal.
2. ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
- Recommended when sperm quality or count is low, or in cases of previous fertilization failure.
- A single, healthy sperm is carefully injected directly into the egg under a microscope.
- This advanced technique increases the chances of successful fertilization, even with very few or poor-quality sperm.
What Happens After Fertilization?
After fertilization:
✅ The fertilized egg (zygote) begins dividing into multiple cells, becoming an embryo.
✅ Our embryologists monitor and nurture the embryos in a controlled incubator.
✅ The best-quality embryos are selected for embryo transfer into the uterus.
