Our fertility treatment in Malaysia success, is measured based on clinical pregnancies, as recommended by the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, UK.
A clinical pregnancy is when the ultrasound scan has shown at least one fetal heartbeat. This is different from normal pregnancy rate using positive urine or blood test results, which may not be accurate due to the medications taken during the IVF treatment which disrupts hormonal levels in the bloodstream.
THIS MEANS out of every 10 couples seeking treatment with us, 6 will successfully achieve clinical pregnancy.

THIS MEANS the younger you are, the higher your chances of pregnancy success with IVF treatment. Generally, the reproductive systems of both men and women tend to decline with age. Women’s number and quality of eggs tend to decrease after the age of 35, affecting fertility rates. It is advisable for couples above the age of 35 to seek treatment if six months of unprotected intercourse did not result in pregnancy.
THIS MEANS that blastocyst transfer may help increase clinical pregnancy success rates among older couples aged 37 to 43 years old. Blastocyst transfer means transferring the embryo into the womb on the fifth day instead of the second or third day after fertilisation.
