In Vitro Fertilisation

In vitro fertilisation describes any process where fertilisation occurs out of the body.

Types of IVF

Conventional IVF

In conventional IVF, the collected eggs are incubated with many sperm cells and fertilisation occurs based on the activity of the sperm. This means the sperm must be good to moderate quality

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

During ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into each collected egg. This makes ICSI the ideal treatment option when sperm quality is low, as it require a few sperm cells

Process Flow

Treatment Planning and Preparation: Detailed treatment plan will be given followed by a medication review with the fertility nurse

Stimulation: Letrozole, clomid or gonadotropin is given to induce follicles to grow

Monitoring appointments: This happens every 2-3 days to track the development of the follicles and uterine lining

Egg Collection: Once the follicles reach the approriate size, ovulation is triggered and egg collection is carried out 24-36 hours after. Eggs are collected from the under mild sedation using an ultrasound guided needle

Fertilisation and Culture: Collected eggs are fertilised using the partner’s sperm and incubated in the lab for 3 to 5 days

Embryo Transfer: Embryo is transferred into the uterus using an ultrasound guided catheter

Pregnancy Testing: Carried out 12 - 14 days later
