This case involves a 30-year-old woman who initially believed she wouldn’t have fertility issues due to her young age.

She tried conceiving naturally for over a year and a half, attempting various methods and supplements, but was still unable to get pregnant, leading to feelings of discouragement.

Wanting to explore assisted reproductive technology, she learned about ICSI through Dr. Ton Poonsak at Beyond IVF. Following the treatment, she successfully conceived.

Patient’s Treatment: ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

Additional Techniques:

  • ICSI (A specialized technique where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to increase the success rate)

  • NGS (Screening for chromosomal abnormalities in embryos)

Patient’s Experience with Beyond IVF:

Dr. Ton provided excellent care and thorough information about the ICSI procedure.
I used to believe that being young meant I wouldn’t face fertility issues.
After multiple disappointments, I started to lose hope, but Beyond IVF gave me clear guidance and support from the very beginning.

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.
