• An in-house blood-hormone and semen tests laboratory that allows for fast test results . Its specialist is equipped to carefully monitor a patient ’ s treatment closely by using blood test results and ultrasound scans to pick up the slightest response change which may impact the choice of medications for continued treatment and timing for procedures such as egg collection or embryo transfer .

“ We pride ourselves in using the latest technology and techniques to allow for a seamless , one-stop IVF journey for our parents-to-be .” This includes using a time-lapse monitoring machine in our in-house IVF lab and Double Stimulation ( DuoStim ) method to increase the chances of pregnancy . The former takes regular images of the embryo while it ’ s incubating within the machine , allowing fertility specialists and embryologists to observe the development of the embryos in a stable embryo culture environment . And the latter allows collection of an additional set of oocytes , which is especially helpful for poor responder patients .
