IVF Treatment in Ahmedabad - Transparent Costs. Proven Protocols. Unwavering Ethics.

One of the most common questions at consultation. The honest answer: it depends on your situation. Dr. Shah does not have a blanket policy — he has a clinical framework:

Learn how IVF treatment works, when it may be recommended, and what couples can expect during the process.

• Progesterone + oestrogen support medications — Luteal phase medications billed separately: approximately ₹10,000–₹12,000.
• Anaesthesia charges — IV sedation for egg retrieval: separate billing.
• Donor gametes via ART Bank — If donor oocytes are required, gametes are sourced through a licensed ART Bank under the ART (Regulation) Act 2021. ART Bank service/processing charges apply — these are the bank’s regulatory costs, not payments to donors. Egg donation under Indian law is voluntary; no compensation is paid to donors. ART Bank charges are disclosed at consultation before any decision is made.
• TESE/PESA surgical sperm retrieval — If required for azoospermia: separate procedure cost. Full guide: TESE/PESA at Wellspring IVF
• External genetic testing — PGT-A/PGT-SR testing is performed by accredited genetics labs. Laboratory costs are charged at cost price — no markup at Wellspring IVF.

• Age and ovarian reserve: Younger women with good AMH need lower medication doses and typically respond with more eggs — shorter stimulation = lower drug cost. Women with low AMH may need higher doses over more days — higher drug cost. This is biology, not pricing policy.
• ICSI vs standard IVF: ICSI (the gold-standard technique where one sperm is injected into each egg) costs more than conventional IVF insemination because it requires additional embryologist time and specialist equipment. Dr. Shah includes ICSI in most protocols because the fertilisation rates are more predictable — especially when any male factor is present.
• Fresh vs frozen transfer strategy: A freeze-all strategy (vitrify all embryos, transfer in a subsequent FET cycle) adds embryo freezing and FET costs but improves outcomes in specific patient groups. This is always explained before stimulation begins.
• Add-on technologies: PGT-A genetic testing, PICSI/MACS sperm selection, time-lapse embryo monitoring, and assisted hatching are evidence-based add-ons with specific indications. Dr. Shah recommends them only when clinical evidence supports them for your case — never as revenue-generating defaults.
• Number of cycles: Most IVF programmes internationally plan for 2–3 cycles as the standard course. Having frozen embryos from the first stimulation reduces costs of subsequent transfers significantly — FET cycles cost substantially less than full fresh stimulation cycles.

The most honest statement about IVF success rates: the number you should care about is yours — not the clinic average. The Wellspring IVF overall success rate of 70%+ per cycle is genuine — but it is an average across all age groups and diagnoses. A 28-year-old with unexplained infertility and good ovarian reserve has different odds from a 42-year-old with low AMH. Both deserve to know their specific picture.

A Note on Success Rate Claims:

Any clinic that quotes a single success rate number without qualification is presenting incomplete information. Key questions to ask: Is this per egg retrieval, per embryo transfer, or per couple? Does it include cancelled cycles? What age group does it reflect? What denominator is used? At Wellspring IVF, Dr. Shah provides your individualised probability at consultation — based on your specific age, AMH, diagnosis, and sperm parameters. That number is more useful than any clinic average.

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes: Both tubes blocked: IVF is the primary treatment — sperm cannot reach the egg naturally. One tube blocked with additional factors: IVF strongly preferred over IUI. Guide: Blocked Fallopian Tubes
• Severe male factor infertility: Severe oligospermia, severe asthenospermia, azoospermia (with surgical sperm retrieval), high DFI — all direct IVF/ICSI indications where IUI is not adequate. Guide: Male Infertility Hub
• Failed IUI (3+ cycles): After 3 failed IUI cycles with no explanatory cause found: escalate to IVF. Each additional IUI cycle beyond 3 has diminishing returns and unnecessarily delays the more effective treatment.
• Severe endometriosis or adenomyosis: Advanced endometriosis affecting tubal function or ovarian reserve. Adenomyosis with recurrent implantation failure. IVF with possible FET + endometrial preparation.
• Recurrent pregnancy loss with chromosomal cause: IVF with PGT-A to transfer only chromosomally normal embryos — the most effective treatment for chromosomally-driven RPL. Guide: Recurrent Miscarriage
• Age-related fertility decline (35+): Women over 35 with 6+ months of unsuccessful attempts, or over 40 with any fertility concern: IVF gives the highest probability of pregnancy within the available time. IUI delays are not appropriate.
• Unexplained infertility after thorough workup: If all investigations are normal and IUI has not succeeded: IVF allows observation of fertilisation and embryo development — which often reveals the cause (poor blastulation, high DFI) that was invisible to any pre-IVF test.

Mild male factor (progressive motility >15%, total count >5M post-wash): IUI with ovarian stimulation is a reasonable first-line option if female tubes are patent and partner is under 35.

Unexplained infertility, under 35, short duration: 1–3 IUI cycles with monitoring is a reasonable initial strategy before escalating to IVF — as long as the female workup is fully complete.

PCOS with anovulation (no ovulation): Ovulation induction (Clomiphene or letrozole) + IUI is first-line for anovulatory PCOS before IVF. IVF is indicated after 4–6 failed OI cycles.
