What a fertility clinic workup includes (female + male)
A fertility clinic in Kompally is not only a place that starts IVF. Most first pathways begin with understanding why conception has been delayed — or why cycles are irregular — before any treatment is discussed. A typical workup looks at both partners when clinically appropriate.
For the female partner, evaluation often includes menstrual and obstetric history, pelvic examination when indicated, ultrasound assessment of the uterus and ovaries, and blood tests that may cover hormones such as AMH, FSH, LH, thyroid function, and prolactin — chosen according to age and history, not as a fixed package for everyone. Tubal assessment (for example HSG) may be discussed when timing and clinical context support it.
For the male partner, a semen analysis is a common early step. Further andrology review is guided by the first result and clinical history. Treating fertility as a couple’s evaluation — rather than only “her tests” — avoids delayed or incomplete answers.
Bring previous reports if you have them. Repeat tests are ordered when results are outdated, incomplete, or need confirmation — not to create unnecessary cost. For a broader overview of services, see our services page and the Sree Nandaka IVF homepage.
When ovulation induction or IUI is discussed first
Not every couple who visits a fertility clinic needs IVF first. When tubes are open, semen parameters are adequate or correctable, and ovulation is absent or irregular, the specialist may discuss ovulation induction (medicines to help eggs mature and release) with timed intercourse, or IUI (intrauterine insemination), where prepared sperm are placed into the uterus around ovulation.
IUI is often discussed when:
- Ovulation problems are present and respond to carefully monitored stimulation
- There is mild male-factor contribution that may still suit IUI after preparation
- Unexplained infertility is being managed stepwise, and simpler options remain reasonable
- Donor sperm pathways are being considered in selected clinical situations
IUI is not automatically “easier IVF.” It has its own monitoring visits, timing requirements, and limits. Whether it is appropriate depends on age, duration of trying, tubal status, semen findings, and prior treatment response. Read more on our IUI treatment in Kompally page — and discuss your own reports with the specialist before assuming any pathway.
When the clinic may recommend moving to IVF/ICSI
IVF (in vitro fertilisation) and, when indicated, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) are escalations — not default first steps for every couple. A fertility clinic may recommend moving to IVF/ICSI when, for example:
- Both tubes are blocked or severely damaged
- Severe male-factor infertility makes IUI unlikely to help
- Age or ovarian-reserve findings support a more time-sensitive approach
- Several well-conducted IUI or ovulation-induction cycles have not succeeded
- Other clinical findings (endometriosis stage, prior surgery, or combined factors) make IVF the clearer next discussion
No article can list every indication or guarantee that IVF will be needed — or that it will work. Escalation is an individual clinical decision after history, examination, and investigations. For process education, see IVF treatment in Kompally and our earlier guide on a first visit to an IVF centre in Kompally.
ICSI is a laboratory fertilisation technique used within an IVF cycle when sperm-related factors or prior fertilisation issues make it appropriate. It is not a separate “better” treatment for everyone.
Gynaecology + fertility under one roof in Kompally
Many people first present with cycle problems, pelvic pain, PCOS-related concerns, or other gynaecology symptoms — and fertility questions arise during that care. At Sree Nandaka IVF, gynaecology and fertility pathways sit under one roof in Kompally, so evaluation can move from general gynaecology assessment to fertility planning without starting from zero at a different centre.
Dr Deepa Rekha Koduru (Chief Fertility Specialist) leads fertility care; see her profile on Dr Deepa Rekha Koduru. For local gynaecology context, see gynaecology in Kompally.
The fertility centre (Plot 770) shares a campus area with Sree Nandaka Advanced Surgery (Plot 771). They are related units with separate phones: use the IVF number for fertility bookings and the surgery number for surgical care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a fertility clinic the same as an IVF centre?
In practice, many centres offer both evaluation and IVF. A fertility clinic visit often starts with diagnosis and counselling; IVF is one of several options that may or may not be advised later.
Will IUI or IVF start on the first appointment?
Usually not. The first consultation is an evaluation. Treatment timing depends on cycle day, outstanding tests, and clinical findings.
Do both partners need to attend?
It is usually helpful if both partners attend. If one partner cannot come, the visit can still proceed and remaining information can be collected later.
Does visiting a fertility clinic guarantee pregnancy?
No. A consultation and any later treatment cannot guarantee pregnancy or live birth. Recommendations depend on individual history and investigations.
When should we escalate from IUI to IVF?
That decision is clinical. Age, number and quality of prior IUI cycles, semen and tubal findings, and time trying to conceive all matter. Ask your specialist what criteria they would use in your case — rather than following a fixed number from the internet.
Conclusion
A fertility clinic in Kompally should help you understand evaluation for both partners, when simpler options such as ovulation induction or IUI are reasonable first discussions, and when IVF/ICSI may be the clearer next step — without pressure and without invented promises.
