Considering IVF? It’s okay to feel overwhelmed.

Our overall IVF success rate is 80%, which is significantly above the national average of 40-44%. However, success rates vary by age and individual factors. Under 35: 59-69%. 35-37: 50-60%. 38-40: 40-50%. 41-42: 30-40%. 43+: 15-25%. During your consultation, I’ll give you a personalised success estimate based on YOUR specific situation — honest, not inflated.

This is one of the questions patients are most anxious about — and the honest answer is: most patients find it far less uncomfortable than they feared. The daily injections during stimulation use very thin needles — most women tolerate them well after the first one. Egg retrieval is done under light sedation, so you won’t feel pain. Embryo transfer is a simple, painless procedure — similar to a Pap smear. The hardest part isn’t physical — it’s the emotional waiting.

A basic IVF cycle ranges from ₹1-1.5 lakhs. A complete package with medications runs ₹2.5-3.5 lakhs. ICSI is included at no extra cost when medically needed — unlike many clinics that charge ₹30,000-50,000 extra. You’ll receive a detailed, written cost estimate during your consultation — before any treatment begins. No hidden charges.

Many patients conceive in their first cycle. However, some may need 2-3 cycles depending on individual factors. After each cycle, I analyse the results and adjust the protocol if needed. I’ll give you realistic expectations based on YOUR case during consultation — I would rather give you honest numbers than false hope.

In conventional IVF, eggs and sperm are placed together and fertilisation happens naturally. In ICSI, a single sperm is directly injected into each egg — which gives higher fertilisation rates for male factor infertility or previous fertilisation failure. At our clinic, ICSI is included at no extra charge when needed. You don’t need to choose between them — I’ll recommend what’s best for your case.

Yes — and in fact, PCOS patients often respond very well to IVF because they typically produce many eggs. The key is careful protocol management to prevent OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation). We also offer CAPA-IVM — a drug-free IVF option ideal for PCOS patients. Our clinic is the only centre in India with this expertise.

Low AMH doesn’t mean you can’t conceive — it means we need a customised approach. I have extensive experience with diminished ovarian reserve and have helped many women with very low AMH become mothers. The quality of eggs often matters more than quantity. During consultation, we’ll discuss YOUR specific AMH level and create a protocol that maximises your chances.

I only prescribe tests that are clinically necessary for YOUR case — not a standard battery of expensive investigations. Basic tests typically include hormone levels (AMH, FSH, LH), ultrasound assessment, semen analysis, and infectious disease screening. If you have previous test results, bring them — we won’t repeat what’s not needed.

Absolutely — and there is no judgment here. IVF is a big decision emotionally, physically, and financially. Many of our patients tell us they felt terrified before their first appointment — and then felt much better once they had a clear plan. The consultation is simply a conversation. You can ask anything. You can bring a friend or family member for support. Everything about your visit is completely confidential.

That’s very common — and you’re welcome to come alone for your first consultation. Many patients prefer to have an initial conversation before involving their partner. There’s no pressure either way. When your partner is ready, they’re welcome to join. Sometimes, having clear information and a personalised plan helps partners feel more comfortable with the decision.

Extra healthy embryos can be frozen (cryopreserved) for future use. Frozen embryos can be stored for years and used for a sibling pregnancy or if the first transfer doesn’t succeed. You’ll have full control over decisions about your frozen embryos.

For a fresh embryo transfer, treatment can be completed within about 1 month from stimulation start. If genetic testing (PGT-A) is recommended, it may take 2-3 months to allow time for testing results and optimal preparation. Your specific timeline will be discussed during consultation based on your medical history and treatment plan.
