Each year, millions of couples around the world face infertility. Infertility can be caused by the male partner, the female partner, or both. Infertility takes a toll on couples physically and psychologically as well as on their relationship. The Fertility Center & IVF Clinic at Bumrungrad International Hospital is experienced in helping couples succeed in having children. The average IVF success rate from 2020 to 2022 is 90 percent among women over 40. Bumrungrad Hospital Fertility Center features a team of more than 20 fertility specialists and personnel who are ready to provide counseling for couples with infertility issues due to various factors and help with reproduction planning.

Infertility can be defined as failure to conceive after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse, or six months where the woman is over 35.

Genetic testing for couples in preparation for pregnancy

Couples either with or without a family history of genetic diseases are advised to undergo genetic testing before pregnancy in order to prevent certain serious diseases that may be passed on to their offspring. A specialist in medical genetics can provide screening and give diagnosis of more than 100 genetic diseases that can cause abnormalities in children.

 

Egg quantity and quality gradually diminish with age. This is especially the case in women over 35, leading to infertility, more miscarriages and the risk of having children with a chromosomal abnormality. Egg freezing is thus an alternative for women who are not ready to be pregnant and patients who need an ovarian surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.
