A successful pregnancy outcome after calcium ionophore A23187 oocyte activation in an infertile couple with a repeated failure of achieving fertilization after ICSI is reported. The secondary infertility couple with oligozoospermia underwent ICSI two times. However, none of the oocytes were fertilized. In the third ICSI attempt, three oocytes after ICSI were activated using calcium ionophore for five minutes. Two of three oocytes thus became fertilized. A successful pregnancy outcome was thereafter achieved with the delivery of a healthy infant without congenital abnormalities. Oocyte activation using calcium ionophore was thus found to be a useful method in a case of repeated failure of fertilization after ICSI.
