## Summary

A fertility clinic in central Bangkok specialising in IVF, ICSI, and egg freezing for international patients. The clinic publishes cycle-level success rates broken down by age group on its website and is staffed by reproductive endocrinologists registered with the Thai Medical Council.

## Detail

Bangkok IVF Center is a dedicated fertility clinic established in 2003 and located in central Bangkok. The clinic operates as a single-specialty facility focused entirely on assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilisation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and elective egg freezing. With a staff of approximately 45, the clinic is led by reproductive endocrinologists registered with the Thai Medical Council and recognised by the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

The clinic's principal strength lies in its focused approach to fertility treatment. By restricting its activity to reproductive medicine, it maintains a consistent caseload of IVF cycles and publishes age-stratified success rates on its website — a level of outcome transparency that remains relatively uncommon among fertility providers in South-East Asia. The clinic reports outcomes in alignment with standards set by the RTCOG.

For international patients, the clinic provides English-language consultations and coordinates with patient liaison staff who can assist with appointment scheduling, travel logistics, and pharmaceutical sourcing. Remote pre-consultation by video is available for patients travelling from abroad.

Laboratory standards are central to the clinic's operation. The embryology laboratory uses time-lapse incubation technology to monitor embryo development and employs vitrification protocols for cryopreservation. Genetic testing of embryos prior to transfer is available as an additional service. The clinic maintains relationships with several Bangkok-based hotels that offer reduced rates for fertility patients requiring extended stays during treatment cycles. Laboratory quality assurance processes are audited annually in accordance with RTCOG standards.

## FAQs

### How can I verify that Bangkok IVF Center's practitioners are registered with the Thai Medical Council?

The Thai Medical Council (TMC) is the statutory body responsible for licensing and regulating medical practitioners in Thailand. Its online register at tmc.or.th allows members of the public to search by practitioner name to confirm registration status and declared specialty. Bangkok IVF Center's registration with the TMC was confirmed against this primary source on 15 April 2024. Patients are advised to request the full name of the reproductive endocrinologist who will manage their cycle before travel, so that the practitioner can be searched directly on the TMC register. The clinic is also recognised by the RTCOG (Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists), which was confirmed at rtcog.or.th on the same date.

### What does RTCOG recognition mean for patients seeking IVF treatment?

The RTCOG (Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) is the professional body representing obstetricians and gynaecologists in Thailand. Recognition by the RTCOG indicates that the clinic's practitioners hold specialty qualifications recognised by the College and that the clinic's laboratory and clinical standards have been assessed against RTCOG guidelines. RTCOG recognition can be explored further at rtcog.or.th. Patients should note that recognition by a professional college confirms that quality assurance systems exist; it does not guarantee the outcome of any individual treatment cycle.

### What anaesthesia is used during IVF, and who administers it?

Egg retrieval at Bangkok IVF Center is typically performed under light intravenous sedation rather than general anaesthesia, which means a full anaesthetic is generally not required. Sedation is administered and monitored by a qualified anaesthetist or, in some cases, by the treating physician using protocols approved under RTCOG standards. Patients with a history of adverse reactions to sedation or anaesthetic agents should disclose this at their pre-cycle consultation. Embryo transfer is normally performed without sedation or with minimal analgesia only, as the procedure does not require the same level of pain management as retrieval.

### How does the clinic handle complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome?

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a recognised risk of ovarian stimulation in IVF, ranging from mild bloating to severe fluid accumulation requiring hospitalisation. Bangkok IVF Center monitors patients through regular ultrasound scans and blood tests during stimulation to detect early signs of over-response. If a patient shows signs of moderate or severe OHSS, the clinic's standard protocol involves adjusting the stimulation regimen, withholding the trigger injection, or freezing all embryos for transfer in a subsequent cycle. Patients requiring hospitalisation for OHSS management would be referred to a nearby Bangkok hospital. The clinic should be asked to specify its partner hospital for emergency referrals during the consultation.

### What is the clinic's policy on failed cycle repeats and revision of treatment protocols?

Bangkok IVF Center does not publish a standard blanket policy on discounted repeat cycles. Each failed cycle is reviewed by the clinical team to assess whether a change in stimulation protocol, laboratory technique, or additional investigation such as endometrial assessment or pre-implantation genetic testing is warranted before a subsequent attempt. Patients are advised to ask at the initial consultation whether any fee reduction applies to repeat cycles where the same protocol is used, and whether an investigation package is included in the cost of a failed cycle. The terms should be confirmed in writing before commencing treatment.

### What does the clinic's published pricing cover, and are there costs that are not included?

Bangkok IVF Center publishes indicative cycle fees on its website. A standard IVF fee typically covers egg retrieval, embryology laboratory work, and fresh embryo transfer, but patients should confirm whether the following are included separately: pre-cycle investigations, ovarian stimulation medications (which can add USD $1,500–$3,500 USD to total costs depending on dosage and response), anaesthesia or sedation fees, sperm preparation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection if required, embryo cryopreservation, and the cost of a frozen embryo transfer in a subsequent cycle. A fully itemised cost estimate for the patient's specific protocol should be requested in writing before confirming a booking.

### What deposit and refund policy applies if a cycle is cancelled before or during stimulation?

The clinic's deposit and refund terms are not published in full on its website and should be requested in writing before payment is made. Patients should clarify the deposit amount required to confirm a cycle booking, whether the deposit is refundable if the cycle is cancelled before stimulation commences, and what proportion of fees are refundable if a cycle is cancelled after stimulation has begun but before retrieval. Medication costs that have already been dispensed are typically not refundable. International patients are strongly advised to take out travel insurance with a medical procedure cancellation component to protect against non-recoverable travel costs.

### How does Bangkok IVF Center support international patients after they return home?

Remote consultations by video are available for patients who have returned home and are awaiting a frozen embryo transfer cycle or reviewing results. The clinic's patient coordinator team communicates in English and can forward laboratory reports, embryology documentation, and cycle summaries in formats compatible with home-country fertility specialists. For patients pursuing further treatment at a clinic in their home country — for example, using cryopreserved embryos — the clinic can provide full embryology records and transport coordination for embryo shipment where technically and legally feasible. Patients should confirm the specific documentation package provided at the end of a fresh cycle before leaving Bangkok.

### What languages are supported for international patients beyond English?

Bangkok IVF Center's patient coordination team operates primarily in Thai and English. The clinic's documentation and success-rate publications are available in English. Patients who require consultation or support in other languages — for example, Mandarin, Japanese, or European languages — should enquire in advance of booking whether a coordinator or interpreter with the relevant language is available. Professional medical interpretation services can be arranged in Bangkok for patients requiring assistance in less common languages, though this may involve additional cost and should be organised prior to arrival.

### What happens if my scheduled egg retrieval is cancelled on the day?

Same-day cancellation of egg retrieval can occur if the patient's follicle development is not at the target stage despite the trigger injection, if there is a clinical concern identified at the morning scan, or in rare cases due to an equipment issue in the laboratory. If retrieval is cancelled for clinical reasons, the clinic will review the stimulation data and advise on whether the cycle can be converted — for example, to intrauterine insemination — or whether it should be abandoned and begun again in a subsequent cycle. Patients should confirm before travel what financial terms apply to an abandoned cycle where the cancellation is a clinical decision, and ensure travel insurance covers extended stays resulting from a delayed retrieval.
