Age 39 with Ovarian Decline – Successfully Pregnant with ICSI by Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF!

At 39 years old, natural conception becomes significantly more challenging, especially for Parinya, who not only faced age-related fertility decline but also ovarian insufficiency. Today, however, she is successfully pregnant thanks to ICSI treatment with Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF, a leading fertility specialist with over 20 years of experience.

A Race Against Time

After trying to conceive naturally for many years, Parinya became increasingly worried as she approached 40. She feared that if she did conceive, there might be risks to both her health and the baby’s development. Wanting the best medical care, she decided to consult Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF.

Dr. Ton recommended a full fertility assessment for both partners before determining the best course of treatment.

Comprehensive Medical Evaluation

The husband underwent sperm quality and infection testing – Results were normal.
The wife underwent hormone testing and an ultrasound – Results showed ovarian insufficiency, making natural conception extremely difficult.

Given these results, Dr. Ton advised ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) combined with embryo chromosomal screening (NGS) to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy.

The Treatment Process

The process began with ovarian stimulation, carefully monitored via ultrasounds to ensure optimal egg development. Once the eggs were ready, Dr. Ton performed egg retrieval, followed by sperm collection from her husband.

In the laboratory, scientists used the ICSI technique to inject the highest-quality sperm directly into the best-quality eggs.
Embryos were then screened using NGS to ensure they were chromosomally normal before implantation.

The Moment of Success!

After years of waiting, the long journey finally led to success! Dr. Ton confirmed the pregnancy, bringing immense joy to the couple.

Treatment Details

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) – A high-precision technique using a special microscope to inject sperm directly into the egg, increasing the success rate.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) – Chromosome screening to ensure the embryo is free from abnormalities before implantation.

Age and ovarian decline didn’t stop her—Beyond IVF made her dream of becoming a mother come true!

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.
