Overcome Fertility Problems with Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART)
Singapore couples are finding new possibilities for parenthood through assisted reproduction techniques. More than 600 babies have been born through assisted reproduction techniques (ART) at the Thomson Fertility Centre (TFC) in Singapore, enabling couples with fertility problems to fulfill their deep desire become parents.
TFC made world news when it made possible the world’s first birth from frozen eggs and frozen testicular sperm, a break-through offering new possibilities for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
What is IVF? IVF is simply the uniting of egg and sperm in vitro (in the lab). Subsequently, the embryos are transferred into the uterus through the cervix and the pregnancy is allowed to begin. The process is done in conjunction with induced ovulation, monitoring of hormone levels and follicular scanning through ultrasound.
