Advanced IVF & Fertility Care for All of Gujarat — Built Around Your Journey, Not Just Your City
They are not travelling because Ahmedabad is convenient. They are travelling because — after months or years of failed attempts, incomplete diagnoses, or protocols that produced poor embryo quality — they concluded that the difference in clinical infrastructure and specialist expertise was worth the distance. And they were right.
This page explains what makes that difference real, and how Dr. Pranay Shah and the Wellspring IVF team have built an 'Online First' treatment model that minimises the number of trips you need to make — so that the treatment fits around your life in Gujarat, not the other way around.
Where we are — stated clearly:
Wellspring IVF & Women’s Hospital is located at Titanium City Center, Satellite, Ahmedabad. We do not have branches in Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, or any other Gujarat city. This page — and every city-specific page in this section — tells you exactly why hundreds of couples from across Gujarat make the journey to Ahmedabad for their fertility treatment, and precisely how we have designed the process to make that journey as minimal and manageable as possible.
Why Couples Across Gujarat Choose to Travel to Ahmedabad for IVF
The success of an IVF cycle is not determined by geography. It is determined by the environment in which your embryos are grown, the technology available to select the best sperm and embryo, and the experience of the specialist overseeing your protocol. These things are not equally available across all clinics in all cities.
By maintaining a single, centralised facility in Ahmedabad rather than operating multiple branches across Gujarat, Wellspring IVF makes a deliberate clinical choice: zero compromise in laboratory quality. Every patient — whether from Surat or Satellite — receives their embryology in the same Class 10,000 cleanroom, by the same senior embryologist, on the same trigas incubation system.
| Clinical Differentiator | Why It Matters for Gujarat Patients |
|---|---|
| Class 10,000 Cleanroom Lab | Embryo development is directly affected by air quality. VOC contamination — invisible to the naked eye — suppresses blastocyst formation rates. Our cleanroom eliminates this variable, achieving blastocyst culture outcomes consistent with international standards. |
| IMSI — 6,600× Sperm Magnification | Many Gujarat clinics offer standard ICSI at 400× magnification. IMSI identifies nuclear vacuoles and structural sperm defects invisible at lower magnification — critical for couples with recurrent IVF failure or high sperm DNA fragmentation. |
| PGT-A Genetic Testing | Chromosomal screening of blastocysts before transfer — identifying which embryos are chromosomally normal and which carry abnormalities that would cause failed implantation or miscarriage. Reduces repeat transfer failures and miscarriage risk for high-risk patients. |
| Day 5 Blastocyst Culture | Extended culture to Day 5 allows natural embryo selection — only embryos with genuine developmental competence reach the blastocyst stage. Transfer of a blastocyst rather than Day 3 cleavage embryo delivers consistently higher implantation rates. |
| TESE / PESA — Surgical Sperm Retrieval | For azoospermia (nil sperm count), both obstructive (PESA) and non-obstructive (TESE) sperm retrieval are performed in-house at Wellspring IVF’s day-care OT — eliminating the need for separate referrals to external urologists. |
| Dr. Pranay Shah — Direct Oversight | Unlike large hospital chains where a junior doctor may manage your cycle, Dr. Shah personally reviews every IVF protocol, performs egg retrievals, and conducts embryo transfers for all patients — including those travelling from Gujarat. |
| Second Opinion for Failed Cycles | Gujarat patients with 1 or more failed IVF cycles at local clinics are one of the most common referral profiles at Wellspring IVF. Dr. Shah conducts a structured diagnostic review of all prior cycle records, identifying correctable factors before recommending a new protocol. |
What Our Patients Say
A special thank you to Dr. Pranay Shah for his confidence, guidance, and the way he explained everything so patiently. His positive approach gave me so much strength, and today I am blessed with my baby.
Thank you to each and every member of the hospital for taking such great care of me and supporting me throughout this journey. Forever grateful. 💕
He is, without a doubt, the most patient doctor I have ever met. Of course, treatment can be done by many. What truly sets him apart is his maturity, the way he pauses, explains, comforts, and most importantly, seeks your permission before moving forward. You never feel rushed. You never feel unheard. You feel respected.
And the staff deserves equal appreciation. They handle even the most anxious and impatient moments with such calm grace and dignity that you slowly find your own heartbeat settling down. It feels less like a clinic and more like a safe space.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who overthinks, seeks reassurance, or simply needs a doctor who believes comfort is the first step of healing. With him, care begins long before the treatment does.
Highly recommend for their expertise, kindness and dedication. "Turned out dream into reality"
Our gratitude also extends to everyone in your clinic who offered a smile, reassurance, technical support, or a listening ear along the way. We feel incredibly blessed to have chosen your practice for our journey, and we will always cherish the precious gift you helped us receive.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our dream a reality.

Starting Treatment from a Distance — The 'Online First' Treatment Model
STEP 1 — The Video Consultation (From Your Home)
Before you travel a single kilometre, Dr. Pranay Shah reviews your case. Send your previous investigation reports, scan images, and any prior IVF cycle records via WhatsApp to 9099946050. Dr. Shah will review everything before your appointment.
A comprehensive video consultation is then scheduled — covering your complete fertility history, a preliminary diagnosis, a proposed treatment pathway, and a personalised success rate estimate for your specific case. You leave this call with full clarity on your options before committing to travel.
- No travel required for this step
- Bring all previous reports: blood work, semen analysis, TVS scans, prior IVF records
- Language: consultation available in Gujarati, Hindi, or English
- Book via WhatsApp or phone: 9099946050
STEP 2 — Local Monitoring in Your Home City
Once your treatment protocol is finalised and your IVF cycle begins, you do not need to travel to Ahmedabad for every monitoring visit. Dr. Shah’s team will coordinate with a trusted sonography centre in your city for follicular monitoring scans — TVS ultrasound to track your follicle development during ovarian stimulation.
You self-administer your daily stimulation injections at home (Dr. Shah’s team provides full written and video guidance). Scan results are shared with our Ahmedabad team each day — Dr. Shah reviews them remotely and adjusts your medication dosage as needed. This continues for approximately 10–12 days of stimulation.
- Follicular monitoring scans done at a sonography centre in your city
- Daily injection protocol managed remotely by Dr. Shah’s team
- Scan reports shared directly with Wellspring IVF via WhatsApp
- Blood tests (E2, LH, progesterone) done at local pathology lab when required
- Travel to Ahmedabad not required during this phase
STEP 3 — The Short Stay in Ahmedabad (2–3 Days Only)
You will travel to our Satellite, Ahmedabad clinic for only the procedures that require your physical presence — the final trigger injection timing (if needed), the Egg Retrieval (OPU), and the Embryo Transfer. For most patients, this means a stay of 2 to 3 days in Ahmedabad — not 3 weeks.
Typical Ahmedabad Stay Schedule:
- Day 1 (Arrival): Final trigger injection timing confirmed — or trigger already done at home with WhatsApp-guided timing. Pre-procedure consultation at clinic.
- Day 2 (OPU Day): Egg Retrieval (OPU) — 15–20 minute day-care procedure under sedation. 4–5 hours total in clinic for pre-procedure prep and post-sedation recovery. Rest at hotel / guest house.
- Day 3 (Transfer Day, Fresh Cycle): Embryo Transfer — 20–30 minute procedure, no sedation required. Post-transfer rest period at clinic (30–45 min). Travel home by evening if comfortable.
Note on FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) Cycles: If embryos are frozen (vitrified) after the retrieval cycle and transferred in a subsequent Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle, endometrial preparation can be entirely monitored remotely from your home city. Travel to Ahmedabad is required only for the transfer day itself — often a single day trip for patients from Anand, Nadiad, or Vadodara.
- Clinic: Titanium City Center Mall, 440, 100 Feet Rd, near Sachin Tower, Anandnagar, Satellite, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380015
- Nearest accommodation: Multiple hotels and service apartments within 1–3 km of clinic
- Patient coordination team assists with hotel recommendations near clinic
- Free basement parking at Titanium City Center for self-driving patients

A Message from Dr. Pranay Shah
I want to be completely honest with every couple reading this from Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, or anywhere else in Gujarat: the journey to Ahmedabad is real. It takes time. It requires planning. And I respect that asking you to make that journey is asking something significant.
What I can tell you — and what our Gujarat patients tell me — is that the journey becomes a very different thing once you have the information. When you know exactly what the treatment involves, when you know that you will not be in Ahmedabad for three weeks but for two or three days, when you know that the monitoring happens at a local scan centre in your own city, the distance shrinks considerably.
Start with a video consultation. Let me review your case, give you an honest clinical picture, and explain exactly what a treatment cycle from your city would look like in practice. No obligation. No pressure. Just information — which is where every good decision begins.
— Dr. Pranay Shah, Director & Chief Fertility Consultant, Wellspring IVF & Women’s Hospital, Ahmedabad
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to stay in Ahmedabad for the entire 21-day IVF cycle?
No. With the Online First treatment model, you remain in your home city for the majority of the cycle. Stimulation injections are self-administered at home with written guidance from our team. Follicular monitoring scans are done at a local sonography centre in your city. You travel to Ahmedabad only for egg retrieval and embryo transfer — typically a 2 to 3-day stay. For Frozen Embryo Transfer cycles, endometrial preparation is entirely managed remotely and you travel to Ahmedabad only for the transfer day itself, which is often feasible as a same-day trip from cities like Vadodara, Anand, or Nadiad.
Will I actually see Dr. Pranay Shah, or will I be handled by a junior doctor?
Dr. Pranay Shah personally reviews every IVF protocol, personally performs egg retrievals (OPU), and personally conducts embryo transfers for all patients — including those travelling from outside Ahmedabad. Unlike large corporate hospital chains where you may see a different doctor at each visit, Wellspring IVF is a specialist centre where Dr. Shah has direct, continuous oversight of every case from the video consultation through to the pregnancy test.
Can I send my reports via WhatsApp before my video consultation?
Yes — and we strongly encourage it. Sharing your previous investigation reports (blood work, semen analysis, TVS scans, prior IVF cycle summaries) via WhatsApp to 9099946050 before your video consultation allows Dr. Shah to review your history before the call begins. This makes the consultation significantly more productive — you spend the time discussing your personalised plan rather than going through basic history. The consultation itself will be a real medical conversation, not an intake form.
I have had two failed IVF cycles at a clinic in my city. Does that mean I need IVF again, or something different?
This is one of the most important questions we receive from Gujarat patients. The answer is: not necessarily. Recurrent IVF failure is often caused by a specific, identifiable factor that was either not investigated or not corrected before the prior cycles — poor embryo quality (which may relate to laboratory conditions or sperm quality), uterine cavity issues (polyps, fibroids, adhesions — identifiable via hysteroscopy), chromosomal abnormalities in embryos (detectable with PGT-A), or a suboptimal stimulation protocol. Dr. Shah conducts a structured diagnostic review of all prior cycle records at your consultation — identifying what, if anything, was missed — before recommending whether IVF, IVF with enhanced technology, or a different approach entirely is indicated for your case.
Can you help arrange accommodation near the Ahmedabad clinic for my stay?
Yes. Our patient coordination team provides a curated list of hotels and service apartments within 1–3 km of Titanium City Center, Satellite — covering a range of budget and comfort levels. The clinic is located in one of Ahmedabad’s most well-serviced commercial areas, with accommodation options immediately available. Our team can share this list when you book your egg retrieval date.
Are there monitoring centres in my city that Wellspring IVF works with?
Dr. Shah’s team will recommend a reliable sonography centre near you for follicular monitoring scans during stimulation. We do not have formal franchise or partner arrangements — but we provide guidance on what to look for in a local scan centre (TVS capability, willingness to share digital images with our team via WhatsApp) and coordinate the communication between the local centre and our Ahmedabad team throughout your cycle.
Is the cost of IVF at Wellspring IVF the same for out-of-town patients as for Ahmedabad patients?
Yes. There are no surcharges, travel premiums, or additional fees for patients travelling from Gujarat cities. The treatment cost is identical for all patients. IVF packages at Wellspring IVF start from ₹99,999. Dr. Shah’s team provides a complete, written, itemised cost estimate at your first consultation — there are no hidden fees and no surprises.
What is the nearest train station to the clinic for patients coming from Surat or Vadodara?
The nearest major railway station is Ahmedabad Junction (Kalupur) or Sabarmati Railway Station. From either station, Titanium City Center in Satellite is approximately 10–15 km — a 25–35 minute auto-rickshaw or cab ride (Ola/Uber both operate in Ahmedabad). Alternatively, patients arriving via Vande Bharat Express who have their own vehicle or are being received by a family member can reach the clinic in 20–30 minutes via SG Highway, exiting at Shyamal or Iscon Crossroads. See our SG Highway patient guide for exact driving directions.
