Frequently Asked Questions

We provide a comprehensive range of IVF services including IVF, ICSI, egg freezing for medical indications, PGT-A, and more.

From the first day of stimulation medications until the pregnancy test, the process typically takes about 3 weeks to 30 days.

While IVF can be performed up to age 44 or 45, the success rate decreases after age 40. We evaluate each patient individually based on their ovarian reserve.

No, the procedures such as egg collection and embryo transfer are performed on an outpatient basis. You can usually return to your hotel or home on the same day.

In traditional IVF, many sperm are placed around the egg for natural fertilization. In ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), a single high-quality sperm is directly injected into the egg. ICSI is used for particular situations, such as abnormal semen parameters, surgically retrieved sperm or previous fertilisation failure. Without these, routine ICSI has not been shown to improve live-birth outcomes.

We recommend resting for 1-2 days after the transfer before taking a long-haul flight, although normal daily activities can be resumed almost immediately.

The most important factor is age. As a woman ages, the chance of conception decreases. Past infections affecting the ovaries and tubes also negatively impact fertility.

Sexually active women should have annual exams, including a PAP smear for cervical cancer screening.

Fibroids can affect pregnancy if they compress the inner lining of the uterus. Blocked tubes make natural conception impossible, making IVF necessary.

If the woman is under 37, after one year of trying. If over 37, a consultation is recommended after 6 months.

Stimulation of the ovaries, egg collection, fertilization with sperm, and embryo transfer.

Collection is performed via vaginal ultrasound usually under sedation or anaesthesia, so most women feel little during the procedure. Mild cramping afterwards is common.

No, ovarian stimulation for IVF does not accelerate the depletion of a woman's natural egg reserve.

Eggs must be mature and structurally normal to be fertilized. Not every egg is suitable for fertilization, and not every fertilized egg becomes a healthy embryo.

It is a simple procedure. Embryos are placed into the uterus using a thin plastic catheter under ultrasound guidance, without anesthesia.

Bed rest has not been shown to increase success rates. We recommend returning to daily life while avoiding strenuous physical activity.

Large studies have not found a clear overall increase in cancer risk from IVF medications. Research continues, so tell us about any personal or family history of hormone-sensitive cancer before treatment.

Most children born after IVF are healthy and develop normally. Preterm birth and low birth weight are somewhat more common after IVF, partly because of the underlying infertility and partly because of twin pregnancies. Transferring one embryo at a time lowers the twin risk.
