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?

I guess I will do that ... I am in the US.

Just seems strange they won't reply to emails.

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.

FluffyTee ...

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,

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.

skydrake ...

Thanks for the info. I will send Alpha an email.

One of the big problems with all this is the airline tickets. I need to buy round trip tickets from the USA to Malaysia, but it is almost impossible know on what date I need to have the return ticket for. I can see that no matter what date the return ticket is, it will more than likely need to be changed at some point in time. Not only are round trip airline tickets from the US to Malaysia expensive, but changing the return date is also expensive.

And since we don't live in Malaysia, we would need to find a hotel close to the IVF clinic for at least a full months stay ... Maybe these hotels will give you a discount if you tell them your going to stay there for at least a full month.

We were looking to have this IVF done maybe in Thailand, but Thailand just recently changed the law ... They are not allowed to perform IVF anymore on an unmarried women (such as a divorced woman) ... I don't know what the law is in Malaysia concerning IVF on an unmarried woman?

Anyway, this whole thing is very complicated.

Well, in our situation, we were married in the Philippines, but were later divorced while living in the United States (she was actually born in the Philippines, but is now a US citizen)

However, since the Philippines is a Catholic country, there is no such a thing as divorce there. You are married for life unless you get a court ordered annulment ... So, we are still legally married in the Philippines.

All my wife would have to do is bring to Malaysia her legal Philippines marriage certificate that shows that she's married to me ... And I will also be with her while in Malaysia ... Done deal

I really feel bad for my ex-wife .... She has always wanted to have a baby ("to make my life complete"), and I told her before we ever got married 10 years ago that I had a vasectomy. It was never a surprise to her.

She tried 4 times to get pregnant using sperm from a sperm bank here in the US. All attempts were unsuccessful. Then she finds out that she has blocked fallopian tubes. So, IVF is the only hope for her at this point in time. And since she is now 34 years old, her time is running out.

At the moment, she is living back in the Philippines and I am here in the US.

If she does this IVF pretty soon, I will fly to the Philippines and then we will fly together to KL, Malaysia.
__________________________

After the IVF is finished, we both fly back to the Philippines together, then I will fly by myself back to the US.

Thank you kohchuup ....

Thanks for the link. The problem is that the facebook paqe is mostly in Chinese ... Unfortunatly, I don't read Chinese, so I don't understand most of it.

There seems to be many advertisements on that facebook page for Alpha ... Does your wife work for Alpha ?
______________________________

Anyway, I sent an email to Alpha, but have not received a reply yet. I will give them some time to respond (if they ever do respond).

I also asked them how much all this will cost since there website does not give any prices.

I sent Alpha an email with some questions I have. As of now, they have not replied. I am going to give Alpha a couple more days to reply. If they still don't reply by then, I will look elsewhere for another clinic ... A business that does not reply to legitimate emails from a potential patient / customer obviously don't need anymore business ... so I can take my money elsewhere.

BTW ... You stated that you paid RM25,000
________________________________

About a week ago, I got a reply from a clinic called Metro IVF. Here was there response to the cost at there clinic:
"IVF for women 35yo n below will be RM16000. This package would cover the medications, consultations n scans DURING IVF treatment. Extra costs will b incurred during luteal support stage & also if u under or over respond, or if there r extra embryos for freezing".

skydrake ....

I would rather pay a little more for better medical care ... Money is not that big of a problem for me.

The problem I am having with Alpha seems to be the same problem I had with Concept Fertility Care ... They don't answer emails.

I am still waiting for a reply from Alpha ... I just don't know why they are not replying to me?

The email address I used to send my questions to Alpha is the one I got right off there website. but again, no reply yet from them.

skydrake ... I just sent you a PM

Thanks,

An old Chinese business man that lived in the Philippines once told me:

1. You can't make money if you don't answer your phone

2. You can't make money if you don't answer emails

3. You can't make money if your closed for the day

4. And you can't make money if your out of stock

***** Alpha Fertility Centre should pay particular attention to #2

sily22 ...

Thank you very much for the info.

It would be nice to attend the talk at Four Points, but unfortunately, I am now in the US.
