IVF Pregnancy Rate Assessment Package (Couple)

Introduction to Testing

• Assess body conditions of parents-to-be through genetic and metabolite testing
• Predict the quality of fertilised egg by estimating that of an egg and sperm 
• Parents-to-be could follow listed suggestions to improve body condition and get well prepared for fertilisation
• Mother-to-be could take reference from the report to increase the ability to protect fertilised egg and thus raise pregnancy rate
• Analyse potential health risk for baby by interpreting absorption and usage rate of vitamins for mother-to-be

Specially for

• Couples planning to undergo intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization
