The biological clock is loud, but egg freezing may help turn down the volume.

Before egg freezing: uncertainty, pressure and anxiety about the future.

After egg freezing: many women report feeling more at ease, with less fertility-related stress.

A 2017 study published in Fertility and Sterility surveyed 200 women who had frozen their eggs - over 70% reported a reduction in anxiety about their fertility.

Book a consult with Dr Raelia Lew to learn whether egg freezing is right for you.

Could IVM be the future of fertility care?

In our latest Knocked Up podcast episode we are joined by fertility specialist Dr. Violet Kieu to explore IVM—In Vitro Maturation—a promising alternative to IVF.

Unlike IVF, IVM collects immature eggs and matures them in the lab, offering a shorter, less medicated (read injections) and more affordable fertility treatment. IVM could be ideal for women with high egg counts, PCOS, or those needing urgent fertility preservation before cancer treatment.

We also explore Kappa IVM, an exciting new variation showing comparable success rates to IVF with fewer side effects.

Is IVM right for you or someone you know? Tune in to learn how this evolving technology could transform fertility care in Australia.

Research has demonstrated that PRP intra-ovarian injection may assist some patients who have diminished ovarian reserve or who are in premature ovarian failure, to improve the general ovarian tissue health so that the dormant primordial follicles can be ‘activated’ to commence development into follicles that may release an egg for fertilisation – either naturally or via IVF methods. In-vitro research has shown that PRP can help promote the development of primordial and primary follicles to the pre-antral stage. There is no guarantee that the potential improvement in follicle development will result in follicles developing an oocyte for fertilisation, a successful implantation or live birth.

23/06/2025

Unlike traditional patient-centred care, embryo-centred care focuses on optimising every step of the IVF process to prioritise what gives the embryo the best chance of success. Dr. Lew explains that IVF is not a one-size-fits-all treatment and each patient requires a highly individualised plan, including careful timing of egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and even whether to transfer embryos fresh or frozen.

Dr. Raelia explains how embryo-centred care influences lab decisions, the role of scientific expertise in scheduling, and why sometimes delaying pregnancy to bank embryos can lead to better long-term family outcomes. The approach often requires balancing patient desires with what’s biologically best for both the patient and the embryo, ultimately aiming to improve live birth rates and overall success in fertility treatment.
