Personalised Fertility Care for Every Journey

Fertility challenges affect many couples, particularly as family planning is increasingly delayed. While many individuals still aspire to have children, difficulties with conception have become more common due to age-related and medical factors affecting reproductive health.   

At Seng's OG Practice, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive fertility care, from early fertility assessment and diagnosis to personalised fertility treatment plans. Our goal is to identify the underlying causes of infertility and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for each individual or couple.   

We offer a comprehensive range of fertility services, including fertility screening, ovulation tracking, timed intercourse, IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation), and other assisted reproductive treatments. Our team is committed to providing timely, compassionate, and personalised care throughout your fertility journey.

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is an advanced fertility treatment that may be recommended for couples experiencing infertility due to poor egg quality, low sperm count, ovulation disorders, uterine conditions, or other reproductive health concerns.   

The IVF process involves several stages, including ovarian stimulation, monitoring of follicular growth, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer. Throughout the treatment cycle, your fertility specialist will closely monitor your progress using ultrasound scans and hormone assessments to ensure the best possible outcome.    

Timing is particularly important during the egg retrieval stage of IVF treatment. Eggs must be collected at the optimal stage of development to maximise the chances of successful fertilisation and embryo development. Additional ultrasounds and blood tests may be performed to determine the most appropriate timing for the procedure.    

At Seng's OG Practice, we provide personalised IVF treatment plans tailored to each patient's fertility needs, helping couples navigate their fertility journey with confidence and support. 

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) fertility treatment

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialised fertility treatment in which a single healthy sperm is carefully injected directly into a mature egg to achieve fertilisation. ICSI treatment is commonly performed as part of the IVF process and is particularly beneficial for couples experiencing male fertility issues or previous fertilisation difficulties.

At Seng's OG Practice, ICSI may be recommended for couples with poor or failed fertilisation in previous IVF treatment cycles, low or variable sperm counts, male factor infertility, or unexplained infertility. By directly assisting the fertilisation process, ICSI treatment can help improve the chances of successful embryo development and pregnancy in suitable patients. 

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) fertility procedure

Intrauterine Insemination

Intrauterine Insemination is a commonly performed fertility treatment in which prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of fertilisation. IUI treatment may be performed using a partner's sperm or donor sperm, depending on individual fertility needs. 

As a relatively simple and minimally invasive fertility treatment, IUI is often recommended for selected cases of unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or ovulation-related concerns. The procedure is generally safe and well tolerated by most patients.   

Like all fertility treatments, IUI treatment carries certain risks, including multiple pregnancy and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), particularly when fertility medications are used. Before proceeding, your fertility specialist will explain the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes of IUI treatment and answer any questions you may have.   

At Seng's OG Practice, all fertility treatments are carefully planned, coordinated, and monitored through our consultation rooms to ensure personalised care throughout your fertility journey. Our fertility specialists provide ongoing assessment, treatment planning, and progress monitoring tailored to each patient's individual needs.   

For laboratory procedures and operative requirements, we utilise the facilities at Gleneagles Hospital, providing patients with access to established fertility, laboratory, and surgical services within a trusted clinical environment.

FERTILITY TREATMENTS

What is the Most Effective Fertility Treatment for me?

The most appropriate fertility treatment depends on your individual circumstances, medical history, and fertility assessment
results. At Seng's OG Practice, our fertility specialist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and recommend the
treatment option best suited to your reproductive health and family-building goals.

Female Fertility Conditions Icon

Requirement To Receive Fertility Treatment

The most suitable fertility treatment depends on the underlying cause of infertility and individual reproductive health factors. In general, IVF treatment may be recommended for couples who have been unable to conceive after one year of regular unprotected intercourse, or after six months if the woman is aged 35 or above.   

ICSI treatment may be recommended when previous IVF cycles have resulted in poor fertilisation, when male factor infertility is present, or when only a limited number of eggs are available. Following a comprehensive fertility assessment, your fertility specialist will recommend the most appropriate treatment option based on your individual circumstances.

How to Prepare for the Treatment

Fertility treatment can be a physically and emotionally demanding journey, and each patient's experience is unique. Depending on the treatment plan, you may undergo regular monitoring, fertility medications, hormone injections, and multiple treatment cycles over time.   

Preparing for fertility treatment involves understanding the process, maintaining realistic expectations, and seeking support when needed. Many individuals and couples find it helpful to speak with a counsellor, family members, or close friends for emotional support throughout their fertility journey.    

At Seng's OG Practice, we are committed to providing compassionate fertility care and supporting patients every step of the way as they work towards their family-building goals.

What is Infertility?

Infertility is a medical condition affecting the reproductive system that makes it difficult to achieve pregnancy naturally. Successful conception depends on healthy sperm production, regular ovulation, open fallopian tubes, successful fertilisation, embryo implantation, and normal embryo development. When one or more of these factors are affected, infertility can occur.

What Causes Infertility?

Infertility can affect both men and women. Male infertility may result from low sperm count, poor sperm quality, azoospermia, or genetic conditions. Female infertility is commonly caused by ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, uterine abnormalities, or fibroids. In some couples, infertility may result from a combination of male and female factors, while others may experience unexplained infertility.

How is Infertility Diagnosed?

Couples should consider seeking help for infertility if pregnancy has not occurred after one year of regular unprotected intercourse, or after six months if the woman is over 35 years old. A fertility specialist will review your medical history, perform examinations, and recommend fertility investigations such as hormone testing, ultrasound scans, fallopian tube assessment, or semen analysis to identify potential causes of infertility.

How is Infertility Treated?

Infertility treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, surgery, lifestyle changes, or assisted reproductive treatments.

Common fertility treatment options include:
•IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
•IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation)
•ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

Your fertility specialist will recommend the most suitable treatment based on your individual circumstances.

What Is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)?

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a fertility treatment where prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. IUI treatment may be performed using a partner's sperm or donor sperm to improve the chances of conception.

Does IUI Work for Infertility?

The success of IUI treatment depends on factors such as the cause of infertility and whether the treatment is performed in a natural or stimulated cycle. IUI may be particularly effective for unexplained infertility, cervical mucus factors, and selected male fertility issues.

What is In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)?

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is an advanced fertility treatment used to help couples experiencing infertility. During IVF treatment, eggs are collected and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory before the resulting embryos are transferred into the uterus.

What is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)?

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialised form of IVF used primarily for male infertility factors. During ICSI treatment, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to improve the chances of fertilisation.

Does IVF Work for Infertility?

IVF and ICSI treatment have helped many couples overcome infertility and achieve pregnancy. Success rates vary depending on factors such as age, fertility diagnosis, embryo quality, and overall reproductive health. Your fertility specialist can provide personalised guidance on expected treatment outcomes.
