<h1>How much sperm is used for ICSI?</h1>
For ICSI treatment we recommend using 1 MOT5 straw or higher. If your fertility clinic can wash the ICI straw, you can use both <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/ici-or-iui-sperm-straws/">IUI and ICI sperm straws</a> for ICSI treatment. You should always ask your clinic for advice before you place your order.
When ordering <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/">donor sperm</a> for ICSI treatment, we recommend you make a reservation for extra straws to make sure that you have enough sperm from your favorite <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/find-donor/search-sperm-donors/">sperm donor</a>.
<h2>What sperm quality is required for ICSI?</h2>
The sperm quality required for ICSI treatment is MOT5. Follow the link to read more about <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/sperm-quality-and-motility-mot/">sperm motility</a>.
<h2>How is sperm collected for ICSI?</h2>
It is possible to use sperm from a partner or a donor for ICSI treatment. If the sperm comes from a donor, the sperm is collected through a donation process where the <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/sperm-donor-screening/">donor is screened thoroughly</a>. If the sperm is from a partner, it is either collected through extraction or masturbation. From there a single sperm cell is extracted and used to fertilize the egg.
