Island Hospital offers a comprehensive range of fertility treatments. Our gynaecologists, embryologists, nurses, and technicians are always ready to provide expert guidance, diagnosis, and treatment management for patients struggling with infertility.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure where sperm is placed directly into the uterine cavity during ovulation to increase the number of sperm reaching the fallopian tubes and improve fertilisation chances. IUI is often recommended for couples experiencing:
Before the IUI procedure:
During the procedure:
A catheter is used to insert the prepared sperm directly into the uterus, maximising the number of sperm placed and increasing the possibility of conception.
In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process where eggs are combined with sperm outside of the body, usually in a laboratory setting. IVF is often recommended when:
At Island Hospital, we use advanced technology to improve IVF outcomes, including:
1. Blastocyst Culture and Transfer
2. Blastocyst Vitrification (Embryo Freezing)
At Island Hospital’s Fertility Centre, the IVF journey typically follows these stages:
Day 1: Consultation with Doctor
Day 2 – Day 16: Taking Fertility Medication
Day 17: Egg Retrieval and Fertilisation
Day 17 – Day 22: Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A)
Day 22: Embryo Transfer
Day 36: Pregnancy Test
Outcomes:
ICSI is similar to IVF, except a single sperm is injected directly into an egg by an embryologist. This method bypasses the sperm’s need to penetrate the egg naturally, making it suitable for:
Although fertilisation cannot be guaranteed, ICSI allows couples with severe male infertility issues to have a higher chance of success.
Egg and embryo freezing is similar to IVF and takes around two weeks to complete. The patient undergoes daily hormonal injections to stimulate egg production, with regular monitoring via blood tests and ultrasounds. Once ready, eggs are harvested and frozen for future use.
This option is suitable if you:
Also known as third-party reproduction, this involves another person donating sperm or eggs to help a couple conceive. Donors can be known or anonymous.
The following are several criteria that must be met by the donor before the donation can take place:
All donors are required to undergo an infectious disease and genetic testing screening. These screening processes are in compliance with FDA regulations for human cell and tissue products.
However, couples are advised to consider the legal and emotional implications before proceeding.

Several risks are associated with IVF, including:
While IVF is generally safe and most women can resume normal activities almost immediately, you may experiencesome side effects such as mild cramping, bloating, constipation, breast tenderness, and passing clear or blood-tinged fluid after the procedure.
Fertility medications may also cause mood swings, headaches, and hot flashes. If you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, blood in your urine, or high fever, contact your doctor immediately.
IVF is usually not painful. Some women may feel anxious about daily fertility injections, but you will be taught how to administer them, or our A&E staff can assist you. Light sedation is given during egg retrieval, and mild ovarian cramping afterward can be managed with medication.
An IVF cycle typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks. If preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) testing is chosen, it may add another 4 to 5 weeks to the process.
You can boost your chances by:
Physically, doctors may recommend trying again after your first normal menstrual cycle, though some suggest waiting for two cycles. The first period after miscarriage usually occurs 4 to 8 weeks later. It is important to allow time for complete physical recovery before another IVF attempt.
Emotionally, it is best to take some time to heal before resuming treatment, as IVF can be both emotionally and financially demanding.
Research suggests that children conceived through ICSI may have a slightly higher risk of birth defects, particularly affecting the heart, eyes, reproductive organs, and urinary system. If you are concerned, you can opt for a preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) test to screen for genetic disorders. Discuss any potential risks with your doctor.
PGT-A, also known as preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), determines the chromosomal status of IVF embryos by examining all 23 pairs of human chromosomes. It helps identify embryos with genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities, reducing the risk of affected offspring.
Only embryos with the correct number of chromosomes can implant and develop into a healthy baby. This test also reveals the embryo’s gender.
