Abstract

         
          Infertility is a major problem that affects the individual and society. The current investigation aimed to investigate the efficiency of activation with ionomycin or 7% ethanol methods to assist oocyte for improving intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes in cases of recurrent failure of ICSI including severe male factor infertility, previous failure of fertilization and implantation. Both methods of assisted oocyte activation (AOA) used in this study recorded highly efficient implications on infertility duration, mature and fertilized oocytes, rates of fertilized, cleavage, blastocyst, embryo grades and pregnancy. It was found that using Ionomycin was preferable more than 7% Ethanol in patients’ treatment with failure fertilization with ICSI.
