Essential Reading · Boundaries for the Use of Medical Information
IVF THINK TANK (hereinafter referred to as "the Platform" or "we") is an overseas assisted reproductive medical information and consultation coordination platform designed for Chinese-speaking users. It aims to help users search for and compare reproductive healthcare resources, gain knowledge about assisted reproduction, and provide relevant informational consultations and assistance with coordinating medical care after users proactively choose related services.
This platform is not a medical institution and does not directly provide diagnostic, prescription, laboratory testing, surgical, or other clinical healthcare services.
The information, consultation, and coordination services provided by this platform do not substitute for medical assessments, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations offered by licensed healthcare professionals. Please read this disclaimer carefully before using this platform and its related services.
IVF Think Tank primarily provides information inquiry, data compilation, comparative analysis, and medical consultation coordination services related to overseas assisted reproductive technology.
Based on the features actually available on the website and the scope of services you actively select, we may provide the following assistance:
The above services constitute information consultation, communication assistance, or coordination of matters within the agreed scope. They do not imply that we make medical judgments on behalf of healthcare institutions, nor do they indicate that relevant third parties have accepted your requests, committed to providing services, or guaranteed specific outcomes.
If you choose a paid coordination service, the specific scope of services, fee standards, method of performance, and refund conditions shall be subject to the written agreement actually signed or confirmed by you and the relevant service provider.
IVF THINK TANK does not directly perform egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, embryo transfer, medical testing, medication administration, or other clinical medical procedures, nor does it replace licensed physicians in determining treatment plans, medication dosages, treatment cycles, and the scheduling of medical procedures.
Our advisors may assist you in organizing your questions, conveying information, or understanding responses from healthcare institutions, but this should not be construed as providing individualized diagnoses, prescriptions, or treatment decisions.
All medical judgments concerning your personal physical condition, including suitability for a specific treatment, selection of an appropriate regimen, adjustment of medication, and timing of treatment implementation, should be made by qualified healthcare professionals based on your individual circumstances.
The doctor-patient relationship between you and the medical institution, as well as the rights, obligations, and relevant liabilities of both parties, shall be determined in accordance with applicable laws and the actual agreements established between you and the medical institution.
The information presented on this platform does not, by itself, imply that we have any employment, investment, agency, or other legal relationship with the relevant hospitals, physicians, or laboratories. Where actual commercial partnerships, referrals, or other relationships exist that may influence users’ judgments, appropriate disclosure should be made based on the specific circumstances.
All content displayed or provided on this platform, including but not limited to:
All such materials should be interpreted according to their specific nature as informational queries, educational resources, statistical references, or preparation for medical consultations; they do not constitute diagnoses, medical advice, or recommendations for personalized treatment plans tailored to individual circumstances.
Do not start, stop, or adjust any medication or treatment plan based solely on articles, data, advisor communications, or calculation results on this platform.
If you have any questions regarding your physical condition, test results, medication, or treatment arrangements, please contact the medical institution or physician providing your care in a timely manner.
This platform may compile success rate information related to assisted reproduction based on official public databases from relevant countries and regions, statistical data published by professional organizations, publicly disclosed data from medical institutions, and other verifiable sources.
Sources of relevant public data may include the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) surveillance reports from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), information published by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) in the United States, public materials from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in the United Kingdom, and data released by healthcare institutions themselves.
The specific data sources used for individual pages should be determined based on the actual annotations on those pages. Data published by hospitals themselves should not be automatically considered as official government statistics.
Statistical indicators for assisted reproduction may include clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates, outcomes per treatment cycle, outcomes per embryo transfer, and various other statistical metrics.
Age range, patient selection criteria, use of autologous or donor oocytes, embryo transfer method, and the inclusion of canceled cycles as well as other statistical conditions may also affect the final data.
When statistical methodologies differ, it is inappropriate to assess the quality of care at different hospitals based solely on a single percentage.
Even if the same medical institution reports a high success rate, it cannot be inferred that every patient has the same probability of success.
Factors such as age, cause of infertility, ovarian reserve, previous treatment history, uterine and other health conditions, and the treatment protocols used may all influence individual treatment outcomes.
The success rates displayed on this platform do not constitute a prediction or guarantee of individual pregnancy, live birth, or other treatment outcomes.
Before making a decision, please consult the relevant medical institutions to understand their latest data, statistical methodologies, relevance to your personal circumstances, and the assessment by healthcare professionals of your specific situation.
This platform is not an emergency service provider and does not offer real-time medical monitoring or emergency medical treatment. Our consultations, emails, website forms, and other contact channels do not substitute for hospital emergency departments or local emergency services.
If you are undergoing assisted reproductive treatment and experience any of the following, please contact your treatment center immediately, or seek emergency care at a hospital or call the local emergency number as appropriate:
Seek immediate medical attention if any of the following conditions occur
The above situations may involve health issues that require timely assessment, including complications that may arise during assisted reproductive treatment; however, the specific causes should be determined by medical professionals.
In the event of an emergency, do not wait for a response from this platform, nor rely solely on online information to determine whether medical attention is needed.
This platform may display hospitals' publicly listed prices, cost ranges, treatment items, appointment information, doctors' schedules, and institutional registration or qualification details.
These information may change due to exchange rates, medications and examination items, treatment plans, institutional policies, regulatory changes, and other factors.
The fees displayed on the website may come from publicly available information provided by institutions, quotes offered by institutions, or other sources with attribution, and should not be automatically considered applicable to your final quote.
The items included in different fees may vary, such as initial consultations, examinations, medications, laboratory procedures, embryo freezing and storage, additional treatments, translations, or other services.
Before signing a contract or making payment, please directly request the latest written quotation from the relevant institution to confirm the project scope, currency, payment terms, potential additional fees, and refund policy.
Hospital admission eligibility, appointment times, physician availability, treatment duration, and estimated length of stay are all subject to confirmation by the relevant medical institution.
This platform cannot guarantee that a specific doctor will be available for consultation, that a specific treatment cycle can be scheduled, or that all plans will be completed on the originally scheduled timeline.
We may compile relevant registration and qualification information based on publicly available data from local competent authorities, official registries, and healthcare institutions, providing source links and verification dates where possible.
