After multiple IUI attempts at both public and private clinics without success, I finally achieved my dream of pregnancy with ICSI under Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF

This patient had undergone 2 IUI treatments, one at a public hospital and one at a private clinic, but without success. As she approached the age of 35, she faced infertility and decided to try again. After researching reviews about IUI and IVF, she found Beyond IVF and chose to consult with Dr. Ton. Dr. Ton reviewed her tests and mentioned that everything was normal, but recommended a dye test to check her fallopian tubes before proceeding with IUI. However, after careful consideration, she decided to try ICSI due to the success stories and Dr. Ton's expertise.

She began the egg-stimulation process, and after 8 days, Dr. Ton was able to retrieve 20 eggs. 12 of them were mature and ready for fertilization. After culturing the embryos, 4 reached the blastocyst stage. Dr. Ton performed NGS chromosome screening, and 2 embryos were found to be chromosomally normal, suitable for implantation.

She proceeded to transfer one of the embryos in December 2021, hoping for a positive outcome before the year ended. Throughout the process, Dr. Ton monitored her hormone levels every 3 days to ensure a balanced pregnancy. After 18 days, an ultrasound revealed a tiny pregnancy sac in her uterus, marking the start of her new journey.

The patient is now pregnant thanks to ICSI and NGS screening, and she is extremely grateful for Dr. Ton’s expertise and the supportive care provided by Beyond IVF.

Additional Techniques Used:

  • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

  • NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing for embryo chromosomal screening)

Patient’s Thoughts on Beyond IVF: "I’m so happy I chose Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF. It’s been the best decision for our family. The care and attention from the staff were wonderful, and we are forever grateful for the special gift they’ve given us. I highly recommend Beyond IVF to anyone seeking infertility treatment."

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
