Sunfert Research & Development

Helpful tools
At Sunfert, we conduct ongoing fertility research to improve the safety, effectiveness, and success rates of IVF and other fertility treatments.

Sunfert Laboratory Team

Our fertility specialists, scientists, and embryologists work across Sunfert centres in Malaysia to deliver world-class care using the latest reproductive science and laboratory technologies, consistently improving success rates for our patients.

From advanced scientific research (Blue Sky Research) to practical clinical innovations, our work delivers real, measurable improvements in fertility treatment outcomes and supports personalised IVF care for every patient.

The impact of our work is recognised on a global stage. Our research findings and clinical advancements are regularly presented at leading international conferences such as European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) and Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE). These platforms allow our team to contribute to the global fertility community, exchange knowledge with world renowned experts, and stay at the forefront of innovation, bringing back insights that further enhance the quality, safety, and success of fertility treatments at Sunfert International Fertility Centre.

The Biological Clock

This tool indicates:

  • Natural conception per month if you have no fertility issues
  • IVF success rate at the same age
  • When to seek help after months of unsuccessful attempts

If you are concerned at any stage – we recommend booking a doctor appointment or a free nurse consultation. The sooner you make a plan the better your chances in the long term.

When to seek advice early
  • If you have polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, or have been through a cancer diagnosis; we recommend you get in touch quickly so we can talk you through all your options and give you the greatest possible chance of success.
  • If you’re a single woman considering motherhood in the future; it’s best to approach us early and consider egg freezing as this can be an option for you while you have a higher ovarian reserve and healthier eggs.

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
