Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what patients actually ask. If your question is not here, ask us — it is very unlikely to be a silly one.
Before you come
If you are under 35 and have been trying for a year, or over 35 and trying for six months, assessment is reasonable. Come sooner if your periods are irregular or absent, if you have known PCOS or endometriosis, if you have had pelvic surgery or infection, if there have been two or more miscarriages, or if there is a known sperm problem.
Your specialist reviews your history and any previous reports, examines you, usually performs an ultrasound scan, and discusses which investigations would actually add information. It takes 30 to 45 minutes and you are not expected to decide anything on the day.
No. Many people conceive with ovulation medicines, corrected timing, treatment of an underlying condition, or IUI. IVF is recommended where the assessment points to it.
Where there is a male partner, yes if possible. A male factor contributes in around a third of couples, and assessing both together is considerably faster.
Usually within one menstrual cycle, because several tests must be done on particular cycle days. Typically two to four weeks in total.
During treatment
It is performed under sedation, so you will not feel it. Afterwards, cramping similar to period pain for a day or two is normal.
Usually one, where a good-quality embryo is available. Twin pregnancies carry materially higher risks for both mother and babies, and freezing the remaining embryos preserves the additional chances without that risk.
No. Bed rest has not been shown to improve outcomes. Normal activity, work and gentle exercise are fine unless you have been advised otherwise.
With modern vitrification, comparably so — and in some situations a frozen transfer is preferable, such as where there is a risk of OHSS or where the uterine lining is not optimal.
Most people do. You will need time out for monitoring scans, which are usually early morning, and a day off for egg collection.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome — an excessive response to stimulation medicines. Mild forms are fairly common and settle; severe OHSS is uncommon and is largely prevented by adjusting doses, choosing the trigger carefully, and freezing embryos for later transfer where risk is high.
Costs, access and privacy
It depends on what you need — medication in particular varies several-fold between individuals. We give a written, itemised estimate for your specific plan before you commit. Call us for current pricing.
Indian health insurance has historically excluded it, though some corporate policies now offer limited cover, and associated surgical procedures are sometimes covered where separately indicated. Check your policy wording with your insurer.
Yes. Monday to Saturday 8 am to 4 pm, and Sunday 8 am to 2 pm. Follicles grow at weekends, so monitoring is available then.
Yes. Medical records are confidential and are not shared without your consent except where required by law.
No. Sex determination and sex selection are illegal in India under the PCPNDT Act, 1994 and the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021. This centre does not perform them in any form, and will not do so on request.
You are offered a review appointment to go through what happened and what it indicates. A cycle that did not succeed still produces information that often changes the next plan. There is no obligation to decide anything quickly.
