IVF and Fertility Care

About IVF

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) involves combining an egg and sperm outside the body in a controlled laboratory environment. Once fertilisation occurs, embryos may be transferred to the uterus for potential implantation and pregnancy.
 

IVF may be considered for individuals or couples with specific fertility challenges, such as:

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
• Male factor infertility
• Ovulation disorders
• Endometriosis
• Unexplained infertility
   

Treatment suitability varies, and a consultation with an IVF Clinician is necessary to assess each case based on medical history, investigations, and personal circumstances.
 

It is important to note that outcomes cannot be guaranteed, as success depends on multiple clinical factors such as age, egg and sperm quality, and underlying health conditions.

IVF Services at the Health & Fertility Centre for Women

The Health & Fertility Centre for Women offers fertility assessments, investigations, and treatment options that include in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and related procedures.
 

The clinic provides medical consultations and investigations that help identify potential causes of infertility.
 

Treatment planning typically involves discussions on the most appropriate clinical options, depending on each patient’s reproductive profile.
 

Services provided may include:

• Fertility evaluation and diagnostic testing
• Ovulation monitoring and assisted conception
• IVF and related fertility treatment options
• Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures for reproductive conditions
   

The IVF clinic operates within Singapore’s legal and ethical framework, following regulations set by the Ministry of Health (MOH). All fertility treatments are conducted in accordance with approved protocols and clinical governance requirements.

Clinical Governance and Ethical Practice

As Clinical Governance Officer (CGO) of Monash IVF Singapore, Dr Kelly Loi’s role includes oversight of clinical quality, risk management, and adherence to regulatory standards.

Clinical governance in reproductive medicine focuses on maintaining patient safety, clinical accountability, and the ethical provision of fertility services.
 

Patients undergoing IVF treatment are counselled regarding:

• The nature and purpose of IVF procedures
• Associated medical and emotional considerations
• Possible outcomes and limitations
• Available support throughout the treatment process
   

Such counselling ensures informed decision-making and transparency throughout the treatment journey.

Reproductive Surgery and Minimally Invasive Procedures

In addition to her role as an IVF Clinician, Dr Loi performs minimally invasive laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery for gynaecological conditions that may affect fertility.
 

These surgical techniques are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, such as addressing endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, or uterine abnormalities.
 

Such procedures are carried out through small incisions or via the vaginal route, typically allowing quicker recovery and reduced hospital stay compared with traditional open surgery.

Patient-Centred Approach

The Health & Fertility Centre for Women adopts a patient-centred model of care, where fertility management plans are personalised according to individual needs.
 

Consultations with an IVF Clinician generally include detailed discussion of medical history, test results, and treatment options.
 

The aim is to support informed and considered decisions about reproductive care, taking into account both medical and personal factors.
 

It should be noted that treatment outcomes vary, and no fertility treatment can guarantee conception. Patients are encouraged to discuss their expectations and any concerns directly with their attending specialist before proceeding with treatment.

IVF is one of several available fertility treatment options in Singapore, offered through licensed IVF clinics and conducted under medical supervision.
