Does Lelaiwa International Paternity Services only provide IVF services abroad? Do they offer any services in China?▾
Our main focus is on providing assistance in overseas reproductive medicine consultations and medical referrals. Our partner institutions include those in the United States, Thailand, Georgia, Malaysia, and many other countries and regions. We also have branches in major domestic cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, allowing us to assist with various aspects of preparation, including initial examinations, ovulation monitoring, sharing of test results, and coordination of treatment plans. In other words, some of the preparatory steps can be completed locally, without the need to travel abroad from the beginning. It should be noted that all diagnostic and treatment procedures are carried out by qualified medical institutions and licensed physicians. We provide information consultation, process coordination, and support for travel arrangements.
What is the success rate of third-generation IVF?▾
The success rate is influenced by various factors such as age, ovarian function, embryo quality, uterine conditions, and previous medical history. There are significant individual differences among people. We cannot guarantee any treatment outcomes, nor do we offer any “guaranteed success” programs. The third-generation in vitro fertilization technology (PGT) involves genetic testing of embryos, helping doctors select viable embryos for transfer. However, this does not equate to guaranteed pregnancy success. Your specific situation must be assessed by a licensed physician after a thorough examination and consultation. Therefore, we also remind you to be cautious about any claims that promise a fixed success rate, guaranteed pregnancy, or “guaranteed success.”
How long can frozen eggs be stored? Can they still be used after thawing?▾
Ovules are stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C after being cryopreserved. At this temperature, cellular metabolism essentially stops, allowing for long-term preservation. The actual duration of preservation depends on the standards set by the storage institution and local regulations. Regulations vary from country to country, so it’s important to refer to the terms and conditions of the institution you have signed with, as well as local laws. After thawing, the ovules can be used for fertilization. The success of the process depends on factors such as the quality of the ovules before freezing and the laboratory conditions. There may also be individual differences among individuals. Doctors will explain the actual situation to you during the thawing process.
What are the total costs of egg freezing abroad? What items are included in those costs?▾
<p><strong>The costs of IVF abroad consist of two parts: “medical expenses” and “service fees”. These costs vary significantly depending on the country of destination, the level of the hospital, the treatment plan, and individual health conditions.</strong></p><p><strong>Breakdown of costs:</strong></p><table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><th colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="104">Category</th><th colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="651.32">Main items</th><th colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Description</th></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Medical expenses</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Pre-operative examinations, ovulation-stimulating medications, egg retrieval surgery, embryo culture, PGT testing, embryo transfer, embryo freezing</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Charged by overseas hospitals, paid directly into the hospital’s official account</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Service fees</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Consultation fees, medical record translation, remote consultation coordination, visa arrangements, accompaniment during treatment abroad, obstetric registration coordination</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Charged by domestic consulting agencies</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Travel expenses</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Airfare, accommodation, local transportation, translation assistance</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">These costs vary depending on the destination and duration of stay</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Other expenses</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Insurance, emergency funds</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">It is recommended to reserve these costs in advance</td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Key factors affecting costs:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Country of destination</strong> – The cost is highest in the United States.

What are the costs of overseas test tubes? About how much is it?▾
The cost usually consists of four parts: first, medical service fees, including preliminary examinations, medication to promote expulsion, egg retrieval and transplantation operations, and laboratory operations (such as ICSI single sperm injection, PGT embryo genetic testing) and embryo freezing and preservation; the second is the related expenses incurred in connection with sperm donation, egg donation or other third-party procedures; the third is service fees, including consultation, program docking, medical translation and itinerary coordination; the fourth is travel and living expenses, such as air tickets, accommodation, local transportation and catering. The composition of different countries and different plans varies greatly. After the evaluation is completed, we will provide a written list of itemized expenses based on your actual plan. There are no hidden charges. Please confirm with the consultant for the specific amount range, and we will quote according to your plan.
How can I know which solution is right for me?▾
It is usually necessary to undergo a basic fertility assessment first. Common tests include the six sex hormone tests, AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone), vaginal ultrasound for counting antral follicles, and semen analysis for men. The doctor will consider your age, medical history, and previous treatment experiences before making a decision. You can send us your existing test results, and we will help organize them and arrange preliminary discussions to help you understand the meaning of each indicator. However, the final choice of treatment plan will still be based on the doctor’s personal diagnosis and advice.
After signing the contract, who will be responsible for determining the treatment plan?▾
The treatment plan is determined by the practicing physician who receives you. They will base their decision on your test results and physical condition. Our role is to provide information, explain the treatment plan, and coordinate the process, but we do not make any medical decisions on your behalf. If there are differences in opinions between domestic and foreign doctors, we will assist in arranging a joint consultation and convey both parties’ opinions to you clearly and accurately. The final decision lies with you and your doctor.
How long does it take to undergo an overseas IVF procedure? How much time is needed for leave from work?▾
It varies from person to person, and also depends on whether the procedure requires two trips abroad. The typical schedule is as follows: the initial examinations can be completed within China; the ovulation induction phase usually lasts around 9–12 days; the time spent abroad is mainly for follow-up checks, egg retrieval, transplantation, and post-operative monitoring. In most cases, this period ranges from 2 to 4 weeks. If a phased approach is adopted, with egg retrieval followed by frozen embryo transfer, then two shorter trips abroad will be necessary. We will work with you to create a schedule that minimizes the time spent abroad. All of the above are general guidelines; ultimately, the decision should be based on the doctor’s recommendations.
What preparations are needed in the early stage in China?▾
Generally, four types of documents and information need to be prepared: First, basic examination reports, such as sex hormone tests, AMH levels, vaginal ultrasound results, and semen analysis. Some of these items have specific expiration dates. Second, identification documents, including passports and visas. In some countries, proof of marital status or relationship status may also be required. Third, previous medical records, surgical procedures, and medication history. Fourth, a list of allergies and medications currently being taken. The specific list will be provided to you during the planning phase, based on the destination country. We will assist in verifying the validity of these documents, arranging for translation, and reminding you of any items that need to be rechecked or retested.
What IVF services does Leila International Fertility Center offer?▾

Is Leila International a reliable option for assisted reproduction? What are the reviews about this company?▾
To determine whether an overseas IVF consultation service is reliable, one should not rely on advertising or overall size of the institution. Instead, it’s important to check whether all four key compliance criteria are met.
Lelaiwa meets these criteria as follows: The hospital has official authorization, which can be verified retrospectively; consultation agreements are separate from medical contracts; the service does not promise pregnancy outcomes, nor does it promote surrogacy; medical fees are directly transferred to the hospital’s corporate account.
Regarding reviews and feedback, the effectiveness of overseas IVF services depends heavily on individual physical conditions and medical circumstances. No institution can guarantee specific results. It’s recommended that users focus on three verifiable criteria: the structure of the contract, the flow of costs, and the authenticity of the institution’s authorization, rather than just the words used in promotional materials.
Which overseas IVF institutions are reliable? Are there any reputable companies that can help with pregnancy efforts?▾
“Which agency is the best?” doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your physical condition, budget, and preferences regarding the destination. A more reliable way to make a decision is to check whether the agency’s compliance measures are genuine and verifiable. Lelaiwa International’s four key compliance indicators—authorized by authorities, separate contracts between parties, no promises regarding pregnancy outcomes, and direct payment to hospitals—are all publicly available and verifiable.</p><p>Why can’t we simply say “which agency is the best”? The results of IVF procedures abroad depend heavily on factors such as age, ovarian function, egg and sperm quality, and medical conditions. Different agencies may have varying levels of suitability for different individuals. Therefore, instead of comparing agencies based on their promotional claims, it’s better to compare their verifiable compliance metrics.</p><p>It’s recommended that you request the following four documents from any potential agency:</p><p>1. Scan of the agency’s authorization document – You can verify its authenticity by contacting the agency’s international department directly.</p><p>2. Two separate contracts – The consultation contract and the medical contract with the overseas hospital should be signed separately.</p><p>3. A written statement of compliance – This statement must clearly state that the agency does not provide medical treatment, makes no promises regarding pregnancy outcomes, and does not promote commercial surrogacy.</p><p>4. A detailed list of costs – The consultation fee and medical expenses should be listed separately, along with information on who will be responsible for paying the medical expenses.</p><p>Only agencies that have all four of these documents available for verification can be considered for comparison. Lelaiwa International guarantees to meet all four of these requirements, allowing users to verify this on their own.</p>

If there is a family history of genetic diseases, can IVF procedures help eliminate the harmful genes?▾
<p>Yes, but it depends on the type of genetic disorder and whether the causative gene is known. For single-gene disorders where the causative gene is clearly identified, PGT-M can be used to select embryos that do not carry the harmful mutation. However, for multi-gene diseases with complex mechanisms, current technologies are not yet capable of effective screening.</p>
<p><strong>Conditions where screening is possible:</strong>
- Single-gene disorders with a known causative gene – such as thalassemia, hemophilia, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, etc. In these cases, genetic counseling and testing are required to determine the causative locus in the family, followed by PGT-M for embryo selection.
- Chromosomal structural abnormalities – such as balanced translocations or Robertsonian translocation carriers – can be screened using PGT-SR to select chromosomes that are normal.
<p><strong>Conditions where screening is more difficult:</strong>
- Multi-gene disorders (such as hypertension, diabetes, most congenital heart diseases) – These conditions involve multiple genes and environmental factors, and current embryo screening methods cannot effectively eliminate these risks.
- Rare diseases with unknown causative genes – In these cases, familial genetic analysis is necessary before any screening can be performed.
<p><strong>Standard procedure:</strong>
Genetic counseling → Family genetic testing and identification of the causative locus → Construction of haplotype profiles → In vitro fertilization → Embryo biopsy → PGT-M testing → Transfer of healthy embryos.
<p>Services related to PGT-M: We provide assistance with genetic counseling, translation of medical records and test reports, coordination with international genetics teams, interpretation of reports and treatment plans. Whether PGT-M is suitable for your case will be determined by the genetics team at the overseas reproductive center.</p>
Is it helpful to undergo third-generation in vitro fertilization procedures after repeated fetal losses or spontaneous abortions?▾
<p><strong>It’s helpful, but it’s necessary to first identify the cause of the miscarriage. Among the causes of recurrent miscarriages, only abnormalities in the embryo’s chromosomes can be addressed through third-generation IVF (PGT-A). If the miscarriage is due to maternal factors (such as uterine structural issues, immune or coagulation problems, or endocrine disorders), targeted treatment is required; IVF alone cannot solve these issues.</strong></p><p><strong>It’s recommended to follow this order:</strong></p><p><strong>Step 1: Identify the cause of the miscarriage.</strong> Before considering IVF, it’s important to conduct a thorough examination:</p><table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><th colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="465.8">Investigation areas</th><th colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="512.8">Main tests</th></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Embryonic factors</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Chromosome analysis of the miscarriage tissue (this is the most critical test)</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Maternal anatomical factors</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Hysteroscopy, hysterosalpingography</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Endocrine factors</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Thyroid function, blood sugar and insulin levels, sex hormones</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Immune and coagulation factors</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Antiphospholipid antibodies, thrombophilia screening</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Chromosomal abnormalities in both partners</td><td colSpan="1" rowSpan="1" width="auto">Chromosome analysis of both partners’ peripheral blood</td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Step 2: Decide whether to proceed with PGT based on the cause of the miscarriage.</strong></p><p>If it is confirmed that previous miscarriages were related to chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo (especially in cases where the woman is older or chromosomal abnormalities are detected in the miscarried embryos), PGT-A can help reduce the risk of miscarriage caused by embryonic factors by selecting embryos with normal chromosomes for transfer.</p><p><strong>Step 3: Understand the limitations of the technology.</strong></p><p>While PGT-A can reduce the risk of miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormalities, it <strong>cannot eliminate all risks of miscarriage</strong>. It also cannot improve miscarriages caused by maternal factors.

Is the success rate of IVF for women over 40 high? Do you have any suggestions?▾
<p><strong>For women over 40 years old, the success rate of in vitro fertilization is significantly lower compared to younger groups. The main factors limiting this process are a decrease in the number and quality of eggs, as well as an increase in chromosomal abnormalities in embryos. At this stage, the key isn’t simply “increasing the success rate,” but rather evaluating ovarian reserve as early as possible, understanding the actual probability range, and considering PGT-A screening when medical indications warrant it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The relationship between age and outcomes:</strong>
As women age, their ovarian reserve (AMH levels, number of primordial follicles) and egg quality decline, while the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos increases. This is a physiological phenomenon, and no service provider can change this reality. Therefore, for older women, <strong>taking action as early as possible is the most important factor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is recommended to proceed in the following order:</strong>
<strong>1. First, assess ovarian function</strong> – including AMH levels, sex hormone tests, and vaginal ultrasound to determine the number of primordial follicles. This is the first step in assessing feasibility.
<strong>2. Understand the true probability range</strong> – ask your doctor for accurate data based on your age and AMH levels. Be cautious of any claims that guarantee success.
<strong>3. Consider the applicability of PGT-A</strong> – While advanced age is one of the common indications for PGT-A, which can help select chromosomally normal embryos, this decision should still be made by a doctor.
<strong>4. Plan your treatment cycle carefully</strong> – Older women may need more cycles, so they must be prepared mentally and financially for this.
<strong>5. Maintain good health</strong> – manage underlying diseases, improve sleep patterns, and maintain a healthy diet to create better conditions for the treatment process.
<strong>Risk warning:</strong> Leilaiwa International Fertility Center <strong>does not promise any pregnancy outcomes</strong>. All diagnoses and prognosis decisions are made by doctors from licensed reproductive centers abroad. Please always rely on the professional evaluation of your doctor.</p>
What medical examinations do both husband and wife need to undergo before undergoing in vitro fertilization?▾
<p><strong>Pre-ivf examinations are divided into two parts: for the female and the male.
