Hi,

To be exact to your question, gender selection process cost "that I know", is like below;

1. Microsort cost USD1,800 *As up to date rates*, The amount is in USD because is done by US company for the Fertility Centre *that I knows* (effectiveness of sorting, 70-80% accuracy)

2. PGS can be add on for 100% accuracy *depending on availability of Fertility Centre*, this process only can be done in Blastocyst Stage because it examines the DNA of Blastocyst. *As what I knows* this process can cost vary ranging from RM5K initial first Blastocyst to RM3K per/Blastocyst depending on how many it can be done. Let say if u got 3 Blastocyst will be calculate as below;
1st Blastocyst = RM5K
2nd Blastocyst = RM3K
3rd Blastocyst = RM3K
Total = RM11K (prices are vary depending on Fertility Centre, and this is their current rates that I know)

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. Cheer up smile.gif
May I know which fertility center you've been seeing?
We will start our first cycle at Metro IVF soon. Location is in Klang though.
Why we chose there because a few people recommended us Dr Tee.

Has anyone here heard anything about "Concept Fertility Centre" in KL? .... They are part of the Damai Service Hospital.

I have emailed them 2 times already with questions concerning IMF, and have never received a reply.

They have a website that is still working, but maybe they are now out of business?

Hi all, I have a question. Nowadays IVF easily costs like RM15k+. Is that 15k for 1 time (cycle) or until success? If lets say first 2 times failed and need 3rd time, is the total cost going to be 45k? Thanks.

lets say IVF alone. with medical advances improving exponentially, the success rates increases. the highest average success rates are no more than 60%, with the average are about 30-40%. Any centers that claims higher are likely using falsified advertisement /bias data.
Success rates are affected by various factors, tends to be higher for younger couples, while lower for elderly couples. It is also affected by the current health status of the male and female.

Though u r right, the cost is about RM15k+ for the first time. But subsequent retry usually cost less, again, due to several factors. eg, (additional spare eggs were harvest from the first attempt).

I believe most couple find the time consumption, and going thru repeated failures most depressing. There are alot of centers for Reproductive Medicine specialist today. Its best to pick one thats reliable.

And that's the problem ... How is anyone supposed to know which IVF center in Malaysia is "reliable" when you live in someplace far far away such as the United States?

Malaysia is a very long way to travel from the USA ... Since I am not a citizen of Malaysia, I am required by the airlines to have a round trip ticket when I leave the USA for Malaysia ... The problem is, I don't even know when my return date will be. It's hard to buy a round trip ticket when you have no idea as to how long you even need to be in Malaysia for IVF.

This whole process is not exactly easy when you live 15,000 km away from Malaysia.

Hmm.. there are numerous Reproductive medicine in Malaysia now. Truth is its hard to tell who are the best. But picking one thats reliable should be ok.
I believe scrolling the forum, ull notice a few recommendation.

In malaysia, there is no restriction yet as whom(doctor) can treat infertility.
My advise is to pick on thats a fully registered reproductive specialist (A gynaecologist whom have further sub-specialist in reproductive medicine).

Perhaps you could look into Asst Prof Dr Tee Swi Peng.

Dr Tee Swi Peng is one of the fully registered Reproductive Medicine Specialist in Malaysia. When reproductive medicine became on official specialization in Malaysia, he was among the pioneer whom were direct recognized by the ministry and NSR.

He is a lecturer UTAR as a clinical-assistant Professor and also run his own private practice in MetroIVF.

Statistically his success rate is among the highest in Malaysia which is y he is recommended.

He has appeared in several public talks and interviews and has appeared several times in TV and radios in Malaysia. We might be able to still find his talks and seminar recordings on youtube.

You could try search MetroIVF facebook or email via their official website.

Thanks for the reply and the info ... Metro IVF was actually one of the IVF clinics that actually did reply to the email I sent them.

It looks like my ex-wife will need to be in Malaysia for almost 1 month to complete the IVF procedure from start to finish.

Here is a copy of the email I sent to these various IVF clinics in Malaysia on behalf of my ex-wife:
__________________________________


Hello,

My name is -----------------. I am a healthy 34 year old Philippines born female (Feb 28, 1983). I am married to an American man and live here in the USA. I am now a US citizen with a US passport.

Before I get too old, I want so much to have a baby, however, my husband had a vasectomy many years ago and does [not] want to undergo PESA / TESE.

Here in the US, I was seeing a fertility doctor and was injected with donor sperm (from a sperm bank) 4 different times with hope to become pregnant.

I did [not] become pregnant during any of these 4 attempts.

The American fertility doctor here in the USA believes that my problem is that my fallopian tubes are blocked. I believe the best option for me now would be to have IVF using donor sperm that you would provide.

Again, I am healthy and of normal weight. I have never had any STD or any serious health problems.

I come from a large family, and all of my sisters have children ... I just don't understand why I would have blocked fallopian tubes.

I can bring a copy of my Philippines marriage certificate if that is required. My ex-husband will also be with me when I go to your clinic for the IVF procedure.

1. Do you believe that I could benefit from IVF ?

2. Can your medical facility provide donor sperm ?

3. If the IVF treatment works for me, how long would I need to be in KL Malaysia ?

4. With the IVF procedure, the donor sperm and all medicines what would be the approximate total medical cost to me ?


Sincerely,

gohkokho

Thank you so much for the info. IVF is really a huge commitment especially on financial and emotional. Just thinking about it already emotionally stressed.

Probably none of my business to ask why are u trying to get ur ex wife pregnant and emailing on her behalf, but

Malaysia have set up several regulations in reproductive medicine. I am not entirely familiar but there are criteria before allowing an individual to be pregnant via artificial methods,eg, marriage/capability of having a baby, age limit, egg donors and etc. Its best to consult the a reproductive medicine specialist in malaysia.
Some of ur questions are medical related questions and some questions could not be reply by the sales management inquiry. Should you need to seek a doctors opinion, unfortunately u are required to be physically present there.

Every physician has their own protocol and techniques. Cost has always been an issue. IVF has a more guaranteed success as it relies on less factors (eg, tubal blockage).
Some specialist prefer to jump in straight for IVF, rather than spending more of patients money and time running procedures of to what caused the infertility, which may not even change the outcome.
Some would try for IUI which is less costly.
Block tubes can be an acquired or congenital(birth). Pelvic inflammatory disease are notorious and often asymptomatic can cause tube narrowing later in life.

IVF does come with failure rates as i mentioned. These failures includes fail to conceive or miscarriage along the way.
(PS: doctors don't use the word "healthy". "No known medical illness", is a preferred term)

IVF is expected to have failure rates. It is more of a .... "push" or Assisted conceptions as they called it. If a fail to conceive or a miscarriage occurs, its usually bcoz that pregnancy was not meant to be (usually due to bad genetic combination of the embryo). It is just by chance. (FYI about 50% of natural conception auto aborts without the women realizing their pregnant for the same reasons. Most women noticed a slight late/heavier periods.)

A couple going for assisted conception used to be stigmatized and alone. But today, fortunately we have this forum and community to help one another.
Dont worry too much about it. Looking at your very own pair of eyes looking back at you.... priceless.
I wish you all the best. perhaps one day, ull return here to share and help another couple in the future.

It is her idea to get pregnant, not mine. Since she had no luck getting pregnant by other means because of blocked tubes, I suggested she check into IVF.

I just told her that I would help her by checking into it for her ... so that's why I wrote the email and sent it to some various IVF clinics.

At one time, I checked into getting my vasectomy reversed, but my doctor told me that since it has been so long since I had the vasectomy done, the chances of a reversal were slim to none.

BTW ... I had this vasectomy done a long time before we were married (it was done after having children with my first wife).

Anyway, I came on this forum basically just to ask if anyone knows of a good IVF clinic in KL, Malaysia. It's not easy trying to figure out which clinic is good and which ones are not so good when you live on the other side of the planet from Malaysia. And reading 'reviews' on the internet hasn't helped much either ... I can't even find any reviews on many of these IVF clinics.

Hi Turbota. Base on my experience if you were looking for a reliable IVF centre in Malaysia, I would recommend Alpha fertility centre. But this is purely base on my personal experiences. I have some notes written in here https://www.facebook.com/notes/%E6%88%91%E7...46292405645753/ if u likes to know what I had goes thru the whole process. My English is not very good but hopefully it will helps u to know more about IVF process in this facility base on my own experiences.

U said u were not local and travel far away, u had mention that whole IVF process took 1 month.. sadly this 1 month is base on standard process timing and for every different individual might takes different timing, however 1 month is the minimum. *cross finger for everything goes smoothly, my wife took 36 days to be exact according to my log*. Again, is very depending on each individual.. all these numbers is only base on records until doctor have do all the screening n test only able to know further, added need to wait for medication take effects on it and again each individual is different.

As far as I know, if u are not local.. if u plan to stay 1 month is way to tight, if u able to stretch it more than 2 month is be safer when u do planning. I have friends from East Malaysia and also success the IVF process in this facility by taking their flight to West Malaysia for 2 days 1 night, see doctor and get all the medication then fly back to East. After all the medication done come fly back West to do OPU and stayed for few more days *this is IF everything goes smoothly*. As u from so far is not able to do so, unless u can travel twice to Malaysia else u really need to stay for 2 months ++.

hope this info at least helps u a bit, good luck to your journey.
