You’ve decided to start IVF. Now comes the next big decision: Where do you go?
Singapore has several fertility clinics, each with its own team, pricing, approach, and atmosphere. While they’re all regulated by MOH, the experience can differ drastically depending on where you go.
In this article, you’ll learn:
- The top IVF clinics in Singapore, both public and private
- What to look for in a fertility clinic
- How to compare success rates, costs, and reviews
Choosing the right clinic isn’t just a medical decision—it’s a personal one. Here’s how to make the choice that’s right for you.
What Makes an IVF Clinic “The Best”?
There’s no single “best” clinic for everyone—but here’s what matters most when comparing options:
1. Success Rates
- Look at pregnancy rates per embryo transfer and per cycle.
- Consider age group (e.g., under 35 vs over 40)
- Ask if their rates include frozen and fresh embryo transfers.
Clinics often publish average success rates, but your personal chances depend on your age, diagnosis, and treatment plan.
2. Medical Approach
- Are they aggressive or conservative with stimulation protocols?
- Do they offer ICSI, PGT-A, or embryo freezing?
- Do they tailor plans to individual cases?
3. Lab Technology
- The quality of the embryology lab significantly impacts outcomes
- Look for clinics with in-house labs, time-lapse incubators, and experienced embryologists.
4. Doctor & Team Support
- Does the doctor explain clearly?
- Is the nurse team responsive and kind?
- Do you feel heard and comfortable?
5. Cost Transparency
- Are prices bundled or broken down?
- Is there clarity on add-ons (e.g., ICSI, freezing, storage)?
