What Is ICSI and Why Does It Cost More Than IVF?
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialised form of IVF where a single, carefully selected sperm is injected directly into each mature egg using a microscopic glass needle. This requires a highly trained embryologist and precision micromanipulation equipment, which is why it carries an additional lab charge over standard IVF.
The rest of the ICSI cycle, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo culture and embryo transfer, is identical to a standard IVF cycle. So when comparing IVF vs ICSI costs in Pune, the difference lies almost entirely in the embryology step.

When Is ICSI Recommended?
Your fertility specialist will recommend ICSI when the semen analysis shows a sperm count below 15 million per millilitre, sperm motility below 40 percent, poor sperm morphology below 4 percent (Kruger criteria), previous failed fertilisation in a standard IVF cycle, or when surgical sperm retrieval (TESE or PESA) is used.
Do you need ICSI even if your sperm count is ‘borderline’? That depends on your partner’s egg quality and your treatment history. Dr. Bhagyashri Naphade at La Femme evaluates each couple’s complete profile before recommending ICSI.
