Welcome and Introduction

Topic: Infertility Explained: What are the Treatment Options

by Dr Loh Seong Feei, Medical Director, Thomson Fertility Centre

Dr Loh Seong Feei was the Head of the Reproductive Medicine Department and Director of the KKIVF Center before joining Thomson Fertility Center as its Medical Director. During his tenure at KKIVF, he helped shape it into the biggest IVF centre in Singapore. From 2008 to 2010, the centre performed a few thousand IVF cycles with good pregnancy success rates. He believes in a holistic and problem-oriented approach to treating infertility. Dr Loh, who has been instrumental in developing reproductive surgery, has treated many patients with endometriosis, uterine fibroids and tubal disease. He has also helped many couples realise their dreams of becoming parents. Dr Loh believes that fertility treatment should be patient-centered and patient-friendly and that fertility programmes should be tailored to the needs of each individual couple.

Topic: What Happens in the IVF Lab?

by Dr Ethiraj Balaji Prasath, Chief Embryologist, Thomson Fertility Centre

Dr Balaji spent 17 years as the Chief Embryologist at the KKIVF Centre, where he managed the IVF and Andrology labs as well as the National Sperm Bank of Singapore. While there, he personally performed more than 3,000 intracytoplasmic sperm injections with a clinical pregnancy rate of 40 per cent of embryos transferred. Dr Balaji has trained many doctors and embryologists on IVF lab techniques, and was instrumental in achieving Singapore’s first pregnancy and live birth via Laser Assisted Hatching. His more recent achievement was the world’s first live birth from frozen-thawed embryos obtained after in-vitro maturation (IVM) in the lab and intracytoplasmic sperm injections of oocytes recovered from a surgically-removed cancerous ovary.
