IVF Treatment in Singapore: All You Need to Know

Thinking of seeking help from advanced science techniques to reach your dream of having your own baby? This article is here for you to get the first idea of all the important things one needs to know before deciding which way to go.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER FERTILITY TREATMENT?
It is recommended to seek help from a fertility doctor if you have been trying for 12 months (or 6 months if you are over 35 years old). In Singapore, IVF treatment is only available for married couples.

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT METHODS TO HELP WITH INFERTILITY ISSUES?
There are various methods available to treat infertility. Each form of those assisted reproductive treatments can be done in combination with others to achieve the best possible outcome. The most common methods are:

Induction of Ovulation: Promoting egg growth by the use of oral or injection medication
Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI): The introduction of processed sperm into the womb through a fine catheter during ovulation
In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF): Implanting embryo into the womb after the natural fertilisation of eggs and sperms in a petri dish (often used for female infertility cause)
Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection: Implanting embryo into the womb after the process of injecting a single sperm into each egg (often used for male infertility cause)
Blastocyst Culture: Implanting a blastocyst into the womb. A blastocyst is an embryo that is cultured for 5 days.
Assisted Hatching: Helping the embryo to hatch from its “shell” to increase the chance of implantation
Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis: Embryo testing to determine if it carries a genetic abnormality passed down by parents

Among the above, In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is often mentioned because it is a common solution used to increase the pregnancy chance in older maternal age women and in unexplained infertility cases.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS DURING IVF?

Pituitary suppression: Your natural cycle is suppressed with the use of medication (GnRH agonist/antagonist).
Ovarian stimulation: A fertility hormone (FSH) is injected daily for between 9 to 14 days to encourage the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual.
Egg monitoring: The egg development is monitored via ultrasound to make sure the number and size of the eggs are adequate before aiding their maturation by the final injection.
Egg retrieval and semen collection: Eggs are retrieved by inserting a needle through the vaginal canal. Semen sample needs to be collected on the day of egg retrieval procedure.
Fertilisation: The eggs and the sperm are mixed together in an incubator for a few days to allow them to be fertilised.
Embryo transfer: Embryo transfer occurs two to five days after egg retrieval.
Pregnancy test: Your pregnancy blood test is due about 14 days after the embryo transfer.

WHAT ARE THE IVF SUCCESS RATES IN SINGAPORE?
In Singapore, IVF success rates are often measured as clinical pregnancies per embryo transfer. Clinical pregnancies are those confirmed by a blood test and ultrasound scan, usually at around 6-8 weeks after introducing the embryo to the womb.

The overall success rates announced by hospitals and fertility clinics range from 47-69%. Women of younger ages (under 30) are those who benefit most from IVF among the 4 age groups (<30, 31-34, 35-39, 40-45). The rates can go up to 88% in that age group (at Virtus Fertility Centre in the year 2017).

HOW ARE THE IVF TREATMENT FEES CALCULATED?
IVF treatment fees often break down into three main types of cost:

Pre-treatment costs: Including the consultation fee for your first appointment with your specialist and the charges for initial tests.
IVF cycle costs: They are the charges for medications, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, laboratory charges, hospital accommodation, anaesthetic service, use of operating theatre, nursing fees, and others.
Advanced science costs: Advanced scientific techniques such as PGD may be required, depending on your individual needs.

HOW MUCH ARE THE PRE-TREATMENT COSTS?

Consultation fee: S$150 – S$300
Fertility tests: S$240 – S$440

HOW MUCH ARE THE IVF CYCLES COSTS?

Fertility medication: S$2,500 – S$3,500
Egg monitoring: From S$1000
Egg retrieval: S$3,550 – S$10,000
Sperm collection: From S$1,250
Embryo transfer: S$1,500 – S$5,500

HOW MUCH ARE THE ADVANCED SCIENCE COSTS?

Laser-assisted hatching: S$150 to S$600
Blastocyst culture: S$150 to S$300
PGD: Can be up to over S$10,000

So, in summary, costs of IVF treatment at public hospitals range between S$10,000 and S$15,000 per cycle while it starts from S$7,999 and can go up to S$20,000 per cycle at private hospitals.

GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY FOR IVF: MOH CO-FUNDING
As long as there is one person in the couple is a Singapore citizen, you can get MOH co-funding when seeking IVF treatment at public hospitals which are:

KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital
National University Hospital
Singapore General Hospital

Couple’s citizenship	MOH co-funding (fresh cycles)	MOH co-funding (frozen cycle)
SG citizen + SG citizen	75% (up to $7,700)	75% (up to $2,200)
SG citizen + PR	55% (up to $5,700)	55% (up to $1,600)
SG citizen + Foreigner	35% (up to $3,600)	35% (up to $1,000)

GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY FOR IVF: THE USE OF MEDISAVE
This applies to Singaporean and PR couples, which allows you to use your Medisave to pay for IVF treatment. The maximum amount one can withdraw in a lifetime for this kind of treatment is $15,000.

IVF cycle	Medisave limit
1st	$6,000
2nd	$5,000
3rd & subsequent	$4,000

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING AN IVF CLINIC?

Success rate: IVF success rate is a must-ask while looking around to find the right fertility clinic. It is important because the proven success rates ensure the chance of achieving your dream of having a baby. The higher the clinical pregnancy rates, the higher your chance of getting pregnant.

Specialist: There are clinics where the specialist is the one who manages the patient’s treatment every step of the way. There are also clinics where only the important tasks are taken care of by the specialist, the rest is left in the hands of the team’s healthcare professionals. So, make sure you know who will manage your treatment to ensure that you are provided with continuity of care and the best possible chance to solve your issue.

Location: To many couples, IVF treatment is a hard and long journey to take. It requires couples to travel back and forth between home and the clinic often. So, make sure the fertility clinic you go with is located in a convenient location to save you time and hassle.

PROS AND CONS WHEN GETTING IVF TREATMENT AT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HOSPITALS

	Pros	Cons
Public hospitals	Lower cost (co-funding)	Longer waiting time for an appointment to see a specialist
Private hospitals	Shorter waiting time for an appointment to see a specialist Customer service is of better quality	Higher cost (No co-funding)

Couples who decide to go to a private hospital for IVF treatment should consider prenatal insurance that covers IVF to keep the cost manageable. Check it out with insurers like AIA, AXA, and Pacific Prime Singapore for those kinds of insurance.

WHAT ARE THE IVF CLINICS IN SINGAPORE?
There are IVF clinics in both the public and private sectors.

Singaporeans who want to enjoy the government subsidy can pick one among the three public institutes:

KKIVF Centre by KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital
Centre for Assisted Reproduction (CARE) by Singapore General Hospital
The Clinic for Human Reproduction (CHR) by National University Singapore

The number of private fertility clinics is much larger than the public. Those who opt for private service have more choices when it comes to choosing a preferred specialist and clinic location.

Here is the list of private clinics in Singapore:

The St Petersburg Ballet – Swan Lake

The St Petersburg Ballet Theatre is bringing Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake to Singapore this May 2018! This world-renowned production will star prima ballerina Irina Kolesnikova with guest stars from the internationally acclaimed Bolshoi Ballet.

This Singaporean leg comes fresh on the heels of St Petersburg Ballet Theatre’s sold out seasons in London and Paris. The Times London hailed the company as “A Triumph”, while the Sunday Telegraph called them “a company to be treasured”.

Swan Lake was originally performed by the Bolshoi Ballet in 1877. It tells the story of Princess Odette, who was turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer but returns to human form every night. She meets Prince Siegfried and they fall in love. The sorcerer. Von Rothbart, tricks Prince Siegfried into believing that his daughter, Odile, is Odette, prompting the prince to propose marriage to Odile. The prince soon realizes his mistake and tells Von Rothbart that he would rather die than marry Odile. Siegfried and Odette jump together into the lake and die. This breaks the spell and turns the other swan maidens back into humans. They drive Von Rothbart and Odile into the look and the two also drown. In the final scene, the swan maidens watch as the spirits of Prince Siegfried and Princess Odette ascend into the heavens where they are forever united in love.
