Additional costs to consider:

1. Ovarian stimulation medications, which are almost always purchased separately
2. Pre-travel monitoring scans and bloodwork at a clinic near you
3. Return flights to Bangkok for the retrieval trip and the transfer visit
4. Accommodation for both stays
5. Local transport and daily expenses in Bangkok
6. Annual embryo storage fees after the first year

IVF with PGT success rates in Bangkok

The figures below are consistent with data from the Thai Society of Reproductive Medicine. Rates reflect transfers of chromosomally normal embryos selected through PGT-A. Always ask your clinic for their own age-stratified live birth rates, not just clinical pregnancy rates.

PGT-A does not guarantee a successful transfer, but it significantly reduces the risk of implantation failure and miscarriage by screening out chromosomally abnormal embryos before transfer. For women over 38, the proportion of abnormal embryos rises sharply, which is why genetic testing makes the most meaningful difference in this group.

PGT-A and PGT-M in Bangkok

Bangkok fertility centers offer all three types of preimplantation genetic testing. Confirm with your clinic whether testing is performed in-house or sent to an external laboratory, as this affects both turnaround time and your total stay.

1. PGT-A: screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities. Recommended for women over 35, those with recurrent miscarriage, or those with repeated IVF failure. Results are typically available within seven to ten days of biopsy
2. PGT-M: tests for a specific inherited single-gene condition such as thalassemia, BRCA mutations, or cystic fibrosis. Requires a custom probe built four to six weeks before your cycle begins. Bangkok has particular depth in PGT-M for thalassemia, given its higher prevalence in Southeast Asia
3. PGT-SR: screens for chromosomal structural rearrangements such as translocations. Less commonly required but available at leading centers

IVF with PGT in Thailand is governed by the ART Act of 2015. For full details on legal eligibility, marital status requirements, and embryo export restrictions, see IVF with PGT in Thailand.

IVF with PGT Bangkok FAQs

Do I need to be married to get IVF with PGT in Bangkok?

Yes. Thai law limits IVF to legally married couples. Foreign marriage certificates must be translated into English and validated by your embassy in Bangkok. Same-sex couples should confirm the current position directly with their chosen clinic before booking, as the law is in transition following the legalization of same-sex marriage in January 2025.

Do I need to stay in Bangkok for the full treatment?

No. Your Bangkok clinic will coordinate with a clinic near you to monitor your stimulation remotely. You do scans and bloodwork locally and travel to Bangkok only for the egg retrieval. The embryo transfer takes place in a separate visit, typically one to two months later.

How long does IVF with PGT take in Bangkok?

Two trips. The retrieval stay is typically eight to ten days. The transfer visit is four to five days. PGT-M cases require an additional four to six weeks of probe preparation before the retrieval cycle can begin.

Can I take my frozen embryos out of Bangkok after treatment?

No. Thai law prohibits the export of frozen eggs and embryos. Embryos created in Bangkok must be transferred or stored in Thailand, with no exceptions.

What if no embryos pass PGT in Bangkok?

Your clinic will review the stimulation protocol and discuss next steps, which may include a second retrieval cycle. This outcome is more common in women over 40, where chromosomal abnormality rates rise significantly with age. Knowing before transfer is far more useful than an unexplained implantation failure.

Is Bangkok a good option for PGT-M?

Yes, particularly for conditions more prevalent in Southeast Asia such as thalassemia. Bangkok genetics teams manage a high volume of these cases and are experienced with the custom probe preparation process. For rarer conditions, ask your clinic directly whether they have handled your specific mutation before committing to treatment.
