Struggling to Conceive? This Couple Succeeded with IUI by Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF!

Many people believe that getting pregnant at a young age should be easy, but that wasn’t the case for Saul and his wife. Even though they were only in their early 30s, they struggled with infertility despite trying naturally for a long time. Eventually, they decided to consult Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF, and today, they have successfully conceived through IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)!

Finding the Cause of Infertility

After many unsuccessful attempts, the couple didn’t want to waste any more time. They booked a consultation with Dr. Ton to identify the root cause of their fertility issues. Comprehensive medical evaluations revealed that the wife had hormonal imbalances, making natural conception more difficult.

Dr. Ton presented two treatment options:
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) – A less invasive option that increases the chances of conception.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) – A more advanced treatment with a higher success rate.

Given the wife’s young age, Dr. Ton recommended trying IUI first, as it is less intensive yet still offers a good chance of success. After a quick discussion, the couple decided to proceed with IUI immediately.

The IUI Process

Once her next menstrual cycle started, Dr. Ton prescribed ovarian stimulation for 5 days to ensure optimal egg development. She then had an ultrasound to assess egg maturity before proceeding with IUI.

On the procedure day:
The husband provided a sperm sample, which was carefully processed in the laboratory to select the strongest and healthiest sperm.
The selected sperm was injected directly into the uterus to maximize the chance of fertilization.
The couple was advised to wait 14 days before taking a pregnancy test—all while continuing their daily routine as usual.

The Moment of Truth

After 14 days of anticipation, Dr. Ton scheduled the pregnancy test. The couple was nervous but hopeful, as this was their first IUI attempt. The results? HCG levels were significantly high—a strong sign of pregnancy!

To confirm, Dr. Ton immediately scheduled an ultrasound, and the results were clear—a visible gestational sac. They were officially pregnant!

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.
