ICSI Success Story: A Life-Changing Journey

The couple's background

Vishweswar ji and Priya ji have been married for 28 years. Despite trying for a long time, they had been unable to conceive naturally. Like many couples in Bihar and Jharkhand, they had earlier tried local advice and general treatments without a clear diagnosis of what was actually preventing pregnancy. By 2019 they wanted a proper fertility evaluation from a specialist — and Diwya Vatsalya Mamta Fertility Centre, Patna was their first choice for consultation.

First visit — October 2019

The couple travelled from Deogarh, Jharkhand to our centre in Patliputra Colony, Patna. On their very first consultation, Dr. Rashmi Prasad took a full medical history from both partners together. The initial finding for Mrs. Priya Devi was two conditions that commonly delay pregnancy: irregular menstrual cycles and hypothyroidism (an under-active thyroid). Both are treatable, but both need to be corrected before or alongside any fertility treatment — because they directly affect ovulation and early pregnancy.

The male-factor finding

A semen analysis for Mr. Vishweswar Pandit revealed a very low sperm count — around 8–10 million/ml. For context, a normal semen sample typically has 15 million/ml or more. With that low a count, natural conception is possible but statistically very difficult, and simple treatments like IUI usually do not work well. In cases like this, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) — where a single healthy sperm is directly injected into a mature egg in the embryology lab — is often the most reliable route.

Why ICSI was the right choice for them

The combination of a female-side issue (irregular cycles + hypothyroidism) and a male-side issue (very low sperm count) meant the couple had two independent factors reducing their chances at the same time. Trying more time-consuming, lower-success routes like extended medication or IUI would have wasted precious months. Dr. Rashmi Prasad explained the full picture to both husband and wife — the diagnosis, the exact ICSI treatment plan, the timeline, the cost, and the realistic chance of success. Once both were comfortable with the plan, the ICSI cycle began.

The treatment path

• Thyroid correction first — hypothyroidism was managed with medication under supervision, so her thyroid levels were stable before the cycle.
• Ovulation induction — controlled hormonal stimulation over 10–12 days to grow multiple mature follicles, closely monitored on ultrasound.
• Egg retrieval — a short procedure under light sedation to collect mature eggs. Most patients feel little to no discomfort and go home the same day.
• ICSI fertilisation — under the microscope in our embryology lab, a single healthy sperm from Vishweswar ji was injected directly into each mature egg. This bypasses the low-sperm-count problem completely.
• Embryo culture & transfer — the best embryo was selected and gently placed into the uterus. This step is quick and usually painless.
• Pregnancy confirmation — after the two-week wait, the pregnancy test was positive. Their long parenthood journey ended in a happy result.
