IVF & ICSI Treatment in Bangkok
Genesis Fertility Center is an ESHRE-accredited fertility clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, that provides IVF and ICSI treatment to Thai and international patients. Founded in December 2016 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand under the ticker GFC, Genesis Fertility Center operates three centres Rama 9 International, Rama 3 and Ubon Ratchathani ,across more than 6,000 square metres, with the Rama 9 International site only 20 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Genesis Fertility Center reports an IVF and ICSI pregnancy rate of 60–65% per embryo transfer for IVF and ICSI, rising to 70–75% per transfer where embryos are screened by PGT-A using next-generation sequencing.
Book ICSI Treatment at Genesis Fertility Center
What is ICSI, and how is it different from IVF? (Comparison Table)
ICSI is a form of IVF in which an embryologist injects one selected sperm directly into a mature egg, whereas conventional IVF places approximately 50,000 prepared sperm beside each egg and allows one to penetrate naturally. Every other stage of the cycle, ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo culture and embryo transfer, is identical between the two methods.
At Genesis Fertility Center in Bangkok, ICSI is the default fertilisation method in 2026 for male-factor infertility, for couples with prior fertilisation failure, and for cycles using previously frozen eggs.
During Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), the fertility specialist retrieves mature eggs from the ovaries and selects the healthiest sperm from the male partner. Using a highly specialized microscope and an ultra-fine needle, a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg.
The fertilized eggs are then cultured in a state-of-the-art embryology laboratory for 3–5 days, allowing them to develop into embryos. Once the embryos reach the optimal developmental stage, the embryologist selects the highest-quality embryo(s) typically one or two for transfer into the uterus using a thin, flexible catheter passed gently through the cervix. For a broader explanation of treatment stages, costs, timelines, PGT-A, and success factors, read the complete ICSI and IVF fertility treatment guide.
| IVF | ICSI | |
|---|---|---|
| How fertilisation happens | ~50,000+ prepared sperm placed beside each egg; one penetrates naturally | One selected sperm injected directly into the egg |
| Best suited to | Normal or mild male-factor; unexplained infertility | Male-factor infertility, prior fertilisation failure, frozen eggs |
| Sperm required | Millions of motile sperm | As few as a handful of viable sperm |
| Typical fertilisation rate | Depends on sperm quality | 50–80% of mature eggs |
| Rest of the cycle | Identical — stimulation · retrieval · culture · transfer | |
Because ICSI enables embryologists to select the healthiest sperm before fertilization, it generally provides higher fertilization rates for severe male-factor infertility. For this reason, ICSI has become the preferred treatment over conventional IVF in many fertility centers.
Both IVF and ICSI are highly effective fertility treatments, but choosing the right approach should always be based on an evaluation by a reproductive medicine specialist. Proper preparation by both partners is essential to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy. Learn more about the difference between IVF and ICSI and why your fertility specialist may recommend one fertilization method over the other.
The GFC 7-stage ICSI Pathway
The GFC Seven-Stage ICSI Pathway is the protocol Genesis Fertility Center uses to take a patient from ovarian stimulation to pregnancy test in approximately two months, or approximately four months where an ERA test is included.
The seven stages are ovarian stimulation over 8–12 days, egg retrieval taking 15–20 minutes under light sedation, ICSI fertilisation on the same day as retrieval, embryo culture to blastocyst over 3–5 days, optional PGT-A chromosome screening, embryo transfer taking about 10 minutes, and a blood pregnancy test 10–14 days later. Genesis Fertility Center runs the ICSI stage using microfluidic sperm sorting, MACS and PICSI sperm selection where male-factor infertility is present.
Treatment begins with an individual fertility counseling and assessment appointment, where your medical history, ovarian reserve, sperm factors, and treatment goals are reviewed.
- Ovarian stimulation (8–12 days) – hormone injections mature several eggs, tracked by ultrasound.
- Egg retrieval (~15–20 min) – eggs collected under light sedation; home the same day.
- Fertilisation / ICSI (same day) – one selected sperm injected into each mature egg.
- Embryo culture (3–5 days) – embryos grow to the blastocyst stage in the lab.
- Genetic screening (optional) – PGT-A checks embryos for chromosome health.
- Embryo transfer (~10 min) – a healthy embryo is placed in the uterus; quick, painless.
- Pregnancy test (10–14 days) – a blood test confirms the result; surplus embryos frozen. When a fresh transfer is not recommended or embryos are reserved for later treatment, patients may return for a frozen embryo transfer.
Patients considering chromosome screening can also read the complete PGT-A embryo-screening guide before discussing the test with their fertility specialist.
Our comprehensive treatment program includes:
- Individualized ovarian stimulation with carefully monitored fertility medications
- Egg retrieval and sperm collection
- Fertilization using IVF or ICSI, depending on your clinical needs
- Continuous embryo culture in a state-of-the-art embryology laboratory
- Embryo transfer into the uterus
- Pregnancy testing and follow-up care
IVF and ICSI Success Rates at Genesis Fertility Center
Genesis Fertility Center reports an IVF and ICSI pregnancy rate of 60–65% per embryo transfer for IVF and ICSI, rising to 70–75% per transfer where embryos are screened by PGT-A using next-generation sequencing. These figures are measured across hundreds of transfers performed at Genesis Fertility Center since its inception in 2016 and last reviewed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pitak Laokirkkiat, in September 2026. Individual results vary with maternal age, embryo quality and underlying fertility conditions. We combine experienced fertility specialists, advanced laboratory technology, and evidence-based treatment protocols to achieve excellent clinical outcomes.
- IVF / ICSI pregnancy success rate: 60–65% per embryo transfer
- Success rate with chromosomally normal embryos (after NGS): 70–75% per embryo transfer, screened by PGT-A using Next Generation Sequencing.
Actual success rates vary depending on maternal age, embryo quality, underlying fertility conditions, and individual medical factors. For more context on how GFC explains its outcomes and the factors that influence treatment results, read the reasons behind GFC’s reported ICSI success rate.
