Best IVF Doctors in Singapore 2022: Cost and Success Rate

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory. After the fertilised egg (zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is implanted in the same or another woman's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.

What's IVF Singapore success rate?

The odds of becoming pregnant with IVF is 30% to 50%, falling as the woman’s age rises. For ladies between 35 – 40 years old, the pregnancy success rate of IVF may range from 35% to 50%.

Because its success decreases with age, women over 45 years old are not allowed to undergo IVF in Singapore.

The IVF success rate also depends on underlying medical problems, and the specific labs involved.

Most labs will be happy to tell you their lab-specific pregnancy rates if you ask them.

The Ministry of Health also collects and tracks the results of all registered IVF labs in Singapore.

Top Recommended Gynaecologists in Singapore 2023

Image
Almost all modern and top gynaecologists are also obstetricians and therefore the term obstetricians & gynecologists or O&G in short. The term 'gynecologist' is often mis-spelled as 'gynocologist' by laymen. In many areas, the specialties of gynaecology and obstetrics overlap. To select a doctor, many of us rely on a single recommendation or even a random search through the search engines. Your gynecologist or women’s health specialist assists you with your pregnancy, screens you for diseases, helps you plan a family and more. And when you are pregnant, this person (other than yourself) will understand your situation and is the one to ensure two people (you and your baby) are at the best possible health. However, choosing the right obstetrician and gynecologist (O&G) for your pregnancy and also the right place to deliver your baby may not be as simple as one might think. The list below is a long list. Please read this guide
