Understanding Your Fertility Treatment Options

Every fertility journey is different. Explore clear, doctor-reviewed introductions to common treatments and preservation options, then follow the links for detailed guidance.

IVF

What is IVF?

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) involves fertilising eggs with sperm in a laboratory, then transferring a suitable embryo into the uterus.

Know More

Who may benefit?

IVF may help with blocked fallopian tubes, ovulation problems, male-factor infertility, endometriosis or unexplained infertility.

Know More

What does an IVF cycle involve?

A cycle usually includes ovarian stimulation, monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo culture and embryo transfer.

Know More

ICSI

What is ICSI?

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a laboratory technique in which one selected sperm is injected directly into an egg.

Know More

When may it be recommended?

ICSI may be advised for low sperm count or motility, surgically retrieved sperm, or previous problems with fertilisation.

Know More

IUI

What is IUI?

Intrauterine insemination places prepared sperm directly inside the uterus around ovulation to shorten its journey to the egg.

Know More

Who may be suitable for IUI?

IUI may suit selected patients with open fallopian tubes, ovulation difficulties, mild male-factor infertility or unexplained infertility.

Know More

Blastocyst Culture

What is a blastocyst?

A blastocyst is an embryo that has developed for about five to six days and contains specialised cells ready for implantation.

Know More

Why is embryo culture sometimes extended to Day 5?

Extended culture lets embryologists observe development for longer and identify embryos with strong potential for transfer.

Know More

Embryo Transfer

What happens during Embryo transfer?

Embryo transfer is the final step of an IVF cycle, when a carefully selected embryo is gently placed inside the uterus under ultrasound guidance.

Know More

What is Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)?

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) uses a previously frozen embryo, which is thawed and transferred into the uterus during a later cycle once the uterine lining is prepared.

Know More

Fertility Preservation

Egg Freezing

What is egg freezing?

Egg freezing collects and preserves unfertilised eggs for possible use later, helping keep future reproductive options open.

Know More

Who may consider egg freezing?

It may be considered before fertility-affecting treatment or when someone wishes to delay pregnancy for personal or medical reasons.

Know More

Sperm Preservation

What is sperm preservation?

Sperm preservation freezes and stores semen samples for possible future use in IUI, IVF or ICSI treatment.

Know More

Who may consider sperm freezing?

It may help before cancer treatment or surgery, with occupational risks, or when future fertility may be affected.

Know More

Embryo Preservation

What is embryo preservation?

Embryo preservation freezes suitable embryos created through IVF or ICSI so they may be used in a future treatment cycle.

Know More

Who may consider embryo freezing?

It may benefit patients with surplus suitable embryos, those planning treatment later, or people who need fertility preservation.

Know More

Male Infertility

Understanding male-factor infertility

Male-factor infertility may involve sperm count, movement, shape, ejaculation, hormones or blockages and often requires focused evaluation.

Know More

Treatment options for male-factor infertility

Depending on the cause, care may include lifestyle support, medicines, surgery, IUI, IVF or ICSI after appropriate fertility testing.

Know More

Recurrent Implantation Failure

What Should Couples consider after Recurrent Implantation Failure?

After repeated implantation failure, a systematic review of previous IVF cycles, embryo development, uterine health and other fertility factors can help guide an individualised treatment plan. Emotional support also matters.
