Fertility Screening
Every pregnancy journey starts with a fertility screening to assess and ensure your reproductive health and ability to conceive. Comprehensive fertility screening tests are done to identify any potential issues, and allow your fertility specialist to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your body and needs.
Learn MoreIn-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
In-vitro fertilisation refers to a series of processes where a healthy egg and sperm are collected and combined in a laboratory setting. After successful fertilisation, the resulting embryos are then returned for implantation in the mother’s uterus.
An entire IVF cycle is time-sensitive, and takes about 4 to 6 weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to the embryo implantation.
Learn MoreIntrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a type of artificial insemination where the sperm is washed and introduced directly into the uterus, bypassing the cervix, during a woman’s ovulation period. By bypassing the cervix, it allows the patient to overcome cervical issues, increases sperm concentration and reduces the distance needed for the sperm to travel to the egg.
Learn MoreElective Egg Freezing (EEF)
Elective Egg Freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, refers to the process of extracting, freezing and storing a woman’s eggs for future use.
After a thorough medical evaluation, the ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs. Once these eggs have reached maturation, they are safely retrieved using a minimally invasive transvaginal ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, and frozen in subzero temperatures for preservation and future use. This makes it a valuable option for women who wish to plan their pregnancy and preserve their healthy eggs for family planning.
Learn MoreObstetrics & Gynaecology
In a pregnancy, it is important to ensure that your pregnancy is healthy.
In the first 12 weeks of pregnancy (1st trimester), scans are important to confirm the viability and location within the womb. Repeat scans are important to determine the estimated due date and identify any multiple pregnancies.
A fetal abnormality scan at 18-21 weeks of gestation will be scheduled to confirm whether your baby is developing normally. In the final trimester, your baby will be monitored closely for growth and you will be screened for gestational diabetes.
There will be a discussion on the delivery options and your doctor will keep track of your pregnancy progress and offer assistance.
