Key Takeaways
What made Ann and Bongseok’s journey a Successful ICSI case was their determination to keep going despite repeated obstacles. After experiencing disappointment with treatment elsewhere, they decided to consult with VFC Center, a fertility technology center that offers modern, problem-specific care. That decision became the turning point that ultimately led them to achieve a long-awaited pregnancy.
Infertility is not the end of a dream; it can be the starting point for finding the right treatment approach. Today, infertility treatments have advanced significantly, allowing physicians to address underlying issues at the cellular and chromosomal levels. In this article, we take a closer look at Ann and Bongseok’s story, an infertility case from Hua Hin that included prior unsuccessful attempts but achieved success through accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan at VFC Center.
A New Beginning With VFC Center
Ann and Bongseok began their journey toward parenthood after Ann had already undergone infertility treatment at another clinic without success. They then came to consult with Dr. Worawat Siripoon (Dr. Tae) at VFC Center.

Ovarian PRP Injection Before Ovarian Stimulation
Ovarian PRP injection before ovarian stimulation, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) ovarian injection, is an approach that may help support ovarian function and improve the chance of obtaining better-quality eggs. By injecting PRP into the ovaries, the goal is to promote an environment that supports follicle development and ovarian recovery.
About two months after the PRP injection, Ann began the ICSI process, where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization.
ICSI and Chromosome Testing Results
After ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval were completed, the medical team fertilized the eggs in the lab and selected embryos for chromosome testing. In the first cycle, the results showed that all embryos had chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploid) and could not be transferred, even after ICSI.
However, the team did not stop there and moved forward with a revised treatment plan.
Second ICSI Cycle and ERA Testing
Despite the first ICSI cycle not yielding the expected results, the medical team at VFC Center refined the treatment plan by incorporating ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) technology. This ensures the uterine lining is at its most receptive state before embryo transfer, a crucial step in maximizing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Third ICSI Cycle and Embryo Transfer Outcome
In the third cycle, egg retrieval and fertilization went successfully. After repeated chromosome testing, the team identified an embryo with normal chromosomes, making it suitable for transfer. The embryo was transferred to Ann’s uterus, and just a few days later, the pregnancy test confirmed positive results; Ann was pregnant.
A Challenging Journey, Strong Medical Support, and a Successful ICSI Case Outcome
Ann and Bongseok’s journey highlights an important lesson in infertility care: success may take time, multiple attempts, and careful adjustment of the treatment plan. With encouragement and close support from the specialist team at VFC Center, they were able to move through setbacks and achieve their goal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Infertility Treatment (FAQs)
If embryo chromosome testing shows abnormalities (aneuploid), is it still possible to have a Successful ICSI case?
Yes, it can still be possible. In Ann’s case, the first cycle showed that all embryos were abnormal. The medical team adjusted the plan by adding ERA testing to better time the transfer and proceeded with another ICSI cycle until they were able to identify a healthy embryo and achieve a successful implantation.
Why is ERA technology important for ICSI?
ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) evaluates endometrial readiness at the gene-expression level to identify the most receptive timing, often called the “window of implantation”, for embryo transfer. It can significantly improve pregnancy rates, especially for cases with previous failed transfers.
