Basal body temperature (BBT) is a good but inaccurate method of checking ovulation. BBT provides information used for cycle tracking and prediction. Where BBT lacks, Transvaginal Ultrasound excels in providing accurate and timely ovulation information.

To provide our patients peace of mind, and to ensure that there is continuity in care we try to ensure that the same doctor throughout their time with us will treat them.

Since every woman's ovulation cycle is different, and obviously does not follow the business calendar, a necessary treatment or collection time could be repeatedly missed if she was treated at a clinic that is not open on Sundays or holidays. So as to avoid missing these critical times, we offer treatment on Sundays and holidays.

Correct storage, management, and handling of sperm for use in cases of artificial insemination are necessary. If sperm is not handled correctly then pregnancy will not take place and there even is a risk of infection. We offer the most up to date technologies, techniques, and skills for carrying out artificial insemination.

In some cases it is necessary to look at the fallopian tubes to see if a blockage exists. Kimographic uterotubal insuffation or hydrotubation are not enough to make a correct diagnosis. We are equipped for and when necessary can perform a Hysterosalpinogram (HSG) exam, which accurately checks for any malformations of the uterus or blockages in the fallopian tubes.

Fertility treatment often involves the use of ovulation inducing agents. As it is the case that the larger the number of viable eggs that are collected, the greater the chance of success is, these drugs prove indispensable in the acquisition of the optimal number of mature eggs (about 10). Some clinics try to avoid dealing with this subject. We are aware of your concerns and feel that it is better for you the patient to be informed and prepared when they are used. Our doctors will tell you if, when, what to expect, and how to deal with any side effects.

Often patients are concerned about having access to their clinical data. If you wish we will show you all your clinical data and explain to you in detail what it means. Our staff carries out hundreds of the most highly technical procedures every week and is at the forefront of fertility treatment. We work hard to keep ahead of the rest by constantly carrying out research into finding the techniques that will provide the most benefit to our patients. Below you can see a table for Success Rates for different reproductive technologies according to age categories.

Pregnancy success rates are dependent on a number of factors including the diligence of the treating physician. At our hospital we treat our patients, as we would want to be treated. Your success is our success.

Our hospital is famous nationwide. Our patients come from all parts of Japan. Chances are that at some time you have met a friend, relative, or child of one of our patients. Ask around and see what they say.

St Mother offers the latest techniques in cases where an infertility problem exists that requires ICSI (intra cytoplasmic sperm injection) or in vitro fertilization (harvesting of ovum (eggs), fertilization, and replacement in the uterus).
