In-vitro fertilization began more than 40 years ago. Today, 1 in 20 children is born thanks to assisted reproductive technology, and an ever-wider range of patients are seeking treatment. This includes older patients, patients suffering from intractable infertility issues such endometrial insufficiency and poor egg quality, and those struggling with repeated failure to conceive and carry a child. For patients like these, a one-size-fits-all solution is not enough. Instead, we must customize treatment plans to match the needs of each couple. This individualized approach is what sets our clinic apart and forms the backbone of our organizational values. Our highly trained team of experts includes infertility specialists, infertility-certified nurses, dedicated embryologists and psychological and genetic counsellors. Together, we promise to provide patients with the best treatment and support we can offer.

- About Partner Testing
Around 50% of infertility cases results from "male factor" infertility. As successful treatment may not be achieved by addressing the female patient alone, we recommend undergoing a semen analysis. Ideal conditions for testing occur after 2 to 3 days of abstinence (without ejaculation). If the abstinence period is too short or too long, it could impact the test results. If you would like a test for your partner, please make your reservation with this abstinence period in mind. You can also make a reservation for testing on a separate day.
- About the limit of weight
There is limit weight of the clinic's internal examination chair.
Treatment may not be possible if the BMI exceeds 35 or if the weight exceeds 100kg (regardless of height).
【BMI(Body Mass Index)】
BMI=Weight(Kg)÷{Height(m)×Height(m)}
(exp:60(kg)÷{1.60(m)×1.60(m)}= BMI 23.4)

Patients with spouses
We understand that every relationship is unique. In order to protect the rights and well-being of children born through reproductive assistance treatments, our hospital offers treatment only to legally married couples. However, we know that some couples live a stable, long term, essentially married life without formal marriage, due to a number of reasons including issues around surnames. In such cases, we will decide on treatment after listening to your circumstances and viewing requested documents. As we provide our services with the happiness of the child placed first, in some situations treatment may be refused.
Patients with children
hoping to get pregnant
Please note that we do not permit patients to bring their children to appointments. If you must bring your child, please place them in the unstaffed kid's room. They cannot stay in the lobby. The clinic bears no responsibility for any injuries or accidents that may result. Please make sure your child is accompanied at all times in our clinic, and do not leave children unsupervised in the kids' room. Initial consultations will involve detailed and potentially sensitive conversations about your future treatment plan, so please do not bring your children.
Children cannot be present for uterine oviducture tube examination, self injection instruction, artificial insemination, hysteroscopy, egg collection, embryo transfer, or IVF instruction. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse treatment to patients accompanied by children in such cases.
