Conceiving is an art. When you're trying for a baby, many factors can derail your efforts. Your age, diet, weight, hormones, sperm count, uterus problems, and the list goes on. 

In Singapore, fertility problems are actually more common than you think. 1 in 6 Singaporean couples face fertility problems. Before you get all emotional, hear what Dr Fong Yang has to say. He was invited to host a DxD Session on fertility (IVF and IUI).

Dr Fong is an accredited Ministry of Health IVF clinician, who has been practicing Obstetrics and Gynaecology for the past 18 years. He's one of the rare IVF clinicians who treats both male and female infertility.

Here are some pointers to help put things in perspective. May the odds be with you!

The technology we have today to help couples conceive would have been science fiction to those of our parents’ generation.
