Successfully conceived again after 8 years of permanent sterilization through ICSI treatment with Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF
Patient's Case History:
This patient had undergone permanent sterilization 8 years ago after delivering her second child in her early 30s. As time passed, she desired to have another child to complete her family. However, she was unsure whether to undergo sterilization reversal and attempt natural conception again. She initially believed that reversing the procedure was the only way to conceive, but the high treatment costs and the uncertainty of success made her hesitant.
After coming across successful cases of pregnancy after permanent sterilization at Beyond IVF, she decided to consult with Dr. Ton for treatment options. Dr. Ton recommended the ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) procedure over sterilization reversal, as reconnecting the fallopian tubes after such a long period would be highly challenging. Scar tissue from the previous surgery could have led to adhesions, making natural conception even more difficult. Moreover, considering the couple’s age, Dr. Ton advised against natural conception due to the increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and cleft lip/palate. The ICSI procedure combined with NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) was the best option to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
After receiving Dr. Ton’s consultation, the patient immediately proceeded with ICSI treatment at the onset of her menstrual cycle. Fortunately, both ovaries responded well to the stimulation medication, allowing 18 eggs to be retrieved. Scientists successfully cultured 10 blastocyst-stage embryos (day 5 embryos). Upon NGS chromosomal screening, multiple high-quality embryos were available. Dr. Ton selected the best-grade embryo for transfer, applying Embryo Glue to enhance implantation and reduce the risk of embryo loss. As a result, the patient successfully conceived again at 40 years old.
Patient's Treatment:
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) – A specialized technique that injects sperm directly into the egg to increase fertilization success.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) – A screening method to detect chromosomal abnormalities in embryos before transfer.
