We also pick you up from the airport and give you a FREE cell phone for Thailand calls, so communications are always easy.
Success rates
Our Clinic opened in March 2007. Our association with Sydney IVF meant we could offer excellent quality of medicine and science from the start, and our initial results reflect this.
Between March and October of 2007, we performed 61 embryo transfers from which we had 24 pregnancies, a success rate of 39%.
Patients who came to us for PGD fared even better - from 43 embryo transfers there were 19 pregnancies, a success rate of 44% .
As time goes on, we will publish more complete data and live birth rates, but for now, be assured that our clinic is producing world class success rates.
IVF -
In Vitro Fertilization
TO HAVE BABY ... WILL TRAVEL
Don't accept the high cost of IVF in the United States. Take a trip of a lifetime to beautiful Thailand and have IVF while you're there! The cost of IVF at a top-rate Bangkok hospital is a third of what it is in the U.S., even adjusting for currency fluctuations ... and with the money you'll be saving, why not get a great trip out of it?
You're not alone
At least 1 in 6 couples will experience some degree of infertility at some point in their lives. If you've been trying to get pregnant for 12 months with no success, 6 months for women over the age of 35, or failed to get pregnant after trying a couple of times with IVF techniques, or experienced several miscarriages, we will be by your side every step of the way and help you in solving those problems.
To appreciate how we can help you conceive, it's important to understand exactly what has to go right for conception to occur. That's why we've put this website together - to provide you with the best possible information on fertility, infertility, and assisted conception treatments.
If you have particular questions that we don't cover here, contact us and we'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Stimulating the ovaries with injections of FSH
By prescribing a carefully controlled dose of FSH and other hormones and monitoring their effects, your doctor aims to bring to maturity as many of your immediately available follicles as possible, while preventing them from ovulating prematurely.
Egg collection
Egg collection involves the aspiration or drainage of the fluid from the pre-ovulatory follicle. The procedure is carried out through the top of the vagina to either side of the cervix, and is guided by a transvaginal ultrasound.
Sperm collection
Soon after egg collection the male partner has his role to play and will be asked to proceed to one of our collecting rooms. It is also possible to collect at home, if you live within an hour of the lab. Sperm can be frozen in advance of the day of egg collection if you anticipate difficulties.
Fertilization

Culturing the embryos in the laboratory
After collection, the eggs and sperm are brought to the laboratory where the eggs will be fertilised and the embryos cultured for 5 days. In conventional IVF, about 50,000 to 100,000 washed sperm are left in a small plastic dish with the eggs. The sperm spend the next few hours getting through the layers of cumulus cells, and hopefully one sperm will successfully fertilise the egg.
Embryo transfer
An embryo transfer to the uterus is usually straightforward and painless: no more (or less) uncomfortable than having a Pap smear. After a speculum is placed in the vagina, a fine plastic catheter that has been loaded with the embryo is passed through the cervix into the uterus.
After the embryo transfer
The effects of the hCG injection wear off within a week and the ovaries may not produce enough progesterone on their own to support a pregnancy. Extra doses of hCG (Pregnyl®), or progesterone (Crinone® or Cyclogest® vaginal tablet) are required until the outcome of the cycle is known.
Frozen embryos
After ovarian stimulation and egg pick-up, there are often more embryos than the one or two needed for transfer in that cycle. If there are healthy-looking embryos left over from the IVF cycle they may be placed in cryo-storage. By freezing these embryos, you have the chance to attempt pregnancy more than once after only one stimulated cycle. Note that not all unused embryos are suitable for freezing.
Research & innovation
Sydney IVF has the world best research and development program in IVF and PGD. The synergy of Sydney IVF's latest technology with some of Thailand's finest infertility experts will provide a superior level of infertility and genetic treatment.
From the development and refinement of the Day 5 blastocyst transfer technology, through to our evaluation of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, our research has increased IVF live birth rates generally and aims to considerably improve your chance of having a healthy baby through assisted conception.
Latest technologies
Here are some of the latest technologies in which our research and development has played a major part.
Placing an embryo in the MINC incubator
Incubators
Our laboratories are the most modern in the world. We have developed mini-incubators that have revolutionised pregnancy rates. These incubators simulate the natural environment of human fallopian tubes by using low oxygen levels.
They also feature just the right amount of carbon dioxide needed to help embryos grow
Our culture media
Culture media
Inside these incubators, embryos are grown in a type of fluid called a culture medium. The quality of this culture medium is crucial to the success of an IVF cycle.
That's why we use the Sydney IVF-developed special culture media - which are now distributed to over 45 countries.
A blastocyst
Blastocyst culture
We are the world-leaders in Day 5 blastocyst transfer, a technique that allows embryos to grow a little longer before being transferred back to the mother, letting us better determine which embryos have the most developmental potential. This has revolutionised IVF live birth rates.
Biopsy of a blastocyst
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)
We are one of the few centres in Asia Pacific with facilities to perform pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) successfully. PGD allows us to choose which embryos will be transferred to the uterus based on the results of genetic tests, excluding those with an obvious genetic abnormality. The testing can increase both the chance of a genetically normal pregnancy and your chance of having a baby.
Embryos are frozen in liquid nitrogen
Frozen embryo storage
We are also able to offer you the chance to freeze any apparently healthy embryos left over from an IVF cycle. By freezing these embryos you have the chance to attempt pregnancy more than once after only one stimulated cycle.
Please note - not all unused embryos are suitable for freezing.
We employ the latest technology in embryo freezing. Vitrification is an alternative method to the traditional slow controlled rate freezing of blastocysts. Vitrification is an ultra-rapid cooling procedure which avoids damage to blastocyst cells caused by ice crystal formation. Using vitrification has increased the survival rate of frozen blastocysts and increased the pregnancy rate following embryo transfer of frozen embryos.
