About Us

Dr Am Aikman Fertility Clinic is committed to delivering exceptional fertility care. We assist couples in overcoming infertility through advanced medical treatments and a compassionate, patient-focused approach. Our clinic, led by Dr Aikman, ensures that each patient receives personalised care and support during their fertility journey. We understand the emotional and physical challenges infertility brings, which is why we provide expert guidance and care every step of the way.

Understanding Infertility

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. Approximately one-third of couples worldwide experience infertility, with 40% of cases caused by male factors, another 40% due to female factors, and 20% involving both partners. In some cases, no specific cause can be identified despite thorough investigations.

As age progresses, fertility naturally declines, particularly after 35. The quality of eggs and sperm decreases, and the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities increases, leading to reduced success in treatments. However, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) helps identify embryos with normal chromosomal structures, improving the chances of pregnancy and reducing the risk of genetic conditions.

Our Services

At Dr Am Aikman Fertility Clinic, we offer a wide range of fertility treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs:

Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI)

IUI is a non-invasive procedure in which sperm is directly inserted into the uterus during ovulation. This approach works particularly well for couples with mild male infertility or cervical issues.

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

IVF is one of the most widely used fertility treatments. It involves fertilising eggs outside the body and transferring the resulting embryos into the uterus. IVF is suitable for couples with more complex infertility problems.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI is an advanced IVF technique in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. This procedure is ideal for men with low sperm count or motility issues.

Testicular Sperm Retrieval and Sperm Freezing

For men who do not produce sperm in their semen, we offer testicular sperm retrieval. The sperm can then be frozen and stored for future use in fertility treatments.

Donor Gamete Fertilisation

When couples cannot use their own eggs or sperm, we provide egg and sperm donation services. These options allow couples to still achieve their dream of having a family.

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is a solution for couples who cannot carry a pregnancy themselves. In this arrangement, a surrogate mother carries the pregnancy for the couple. It provides an option for those facing challenges in pregnancy retention.

Our fully equipped operating theatre allows patients to choose between local anaesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anaesthesia for their procedures. We aim to ensure maximum comfort and safety throughout the treatment process.

Additional Information

At Dr Am Aikman Fertility Clinic, we not only offer advanced medical treatments but also provide the emotional support that every couple deserves during their fertility journey. We understand how difficult infertility can be, and our compassionate team is here to support you throughout each stage of your treatment.

If you have been trying to conceive for over a year without success, we encourage you to seek a consultation with us. Early intervention can significantly increase your chances of a successful pregnancy.
