Overcoming PCOS: A Successful ICSI Pregnancy with Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF

A 36-year-old mother, diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), decided to consult Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF to plan for pregnancy. Today, she has successfully conceived through ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)!

The Struggle to Conceive

She and her husband had been trying to conceive naturally for many years but were unsuccessful. Eventually, she decided to undergo a medical check-up to determine the cause and was diagnosed with hormonal imbalances and PCOS, a condition that makes natural conception challenging.

While researching solutions on social media, she discovered numerous success stories from Beyond IVF, where many women with PCOS had successfully conceived through ICSI. After discussing with her husband, she realized that they needed expert help to improve their chances of pregnancy. She reached out to the Beyond IVF Facebook page, where the admin provided initial information and advised her to bring her previous medical test results for a consultation with Dr. Ton. She immediately booked an appointment.

A Personalized Treatment Plan

During the first consultation, Dr. Ton carefully reviewed her previous test results and recommended additional sperm analysis for her husband. After a thorough diagnosis, he explained the treatment plan in detail. After discussing it with her husband, they decided to proceed with ICSI without hesitation.

The process began with ovarian stimulation, ensuring the optimal number of eggs were retrieved. Scientists then selected the highest-quality eggs and sperm for fertilization. Dr. Ton also recommended chromosome screening (NGS) to enhance the chances of a successful pregnancy. They successfully obtained a high-quality, golden embryo, ready for transfer into the uterus.

After 14 days, she returned for an HCG hormone test to confirm pregnancy. The results were astonishing—HCG levels were exceptionally high! Dr. Ton, excited by the results, scheduled an ultrasound immediately, which confirmed one gestational sac—she was officially pregnant!

Treatment Details

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) – A specialized technique using high-magnification imaging to directly inject a single sperm into an egg, increasing the success rate.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) – Chromosome screening to ensure the embryo is genetically healthy, further enhancing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

A Dream Come True

From struggling with PCOS to achieving pregnancy, her journey with Dr. Ton at Beyond IVF has been one of hope, perseverance, and expert medical care. This success story is an inspiration for couples facing fertility challenges, proving that the right treatment and expert guidance can turn dreams into reality.

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.
