Dr. Pranay Shah | Best IVF Doctor in India
A Personalized Approach to Completing Families
Dr. Pranay Shah founded Wellspring IVF on a conviction that remains uncommon in Indian fertility practice: every patient’s protocol is built specifically for that patient — not for a condition on a referral letter. As Founder and Director of Wellspring IVF & Women’s Hospital, he has spent over 15 years not merely treating infertility but rebuilding hope — one family at a time.
Unlike large corporate fertility chains where patients rotate between multiple doctors, Dr. Shah personally oversees every critical step of your protocol. From your first transvaginal ultrasound scan to the pivotal embryo transfer procedure, you receive uninterrupted, expert continuity of care from a single dedicated specialist who knows your case intimately.
The "Self-Egg First" Promise — A Rare Commitment in Indian Fertility Medicine
A growing concern among fertility patients in India is the premature recommendation of donor egg cycles — often driven more by convenience than clinical necessity. Dr. Pranay Shah has built his reputation on a fundamentally different promise.
As a recognised Self-Egg IVF Expert, Dr. Shah exhausts every available scientific avenue to help patients conceive using their own eggs and genetics — even in cases of advanced maternal age, Low AMH, and poor ovarian reserve. Through customized gentle stimulation protocols, mitochondrial-targeted nutritional supplementation, advanced embryology, and precise hormonal optimization, he has helped hundreds of women who were told donor was their only option, achieve pregnancies with their own eggs.
Only when every clinically sound option has been explored does Dr. Shah have an honest, compassionate conversation about donor pathways — and even then, you receive complete transparency, never pressure.
The Specialist Patients Seek for Complex & Failed IVF Cases

His combination of diagnostic precision, advanced embryological understanding, and minimally invasive surgical skill allows him to identify and resolve the root causes of repeated failure that other specialists may have missed.
Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)
Advanced investigation including Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA), hysteroscopic cavity optimisation, Day 5 Blastocyst transfers, and immunological profiling to identify hidden barriers to implantation.
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Systematic investigation of immunological, thrombophilic, genetic (PGT-A), and structural uterine factors (Asherman’s, septa). Goal: not just a positive test — a healthy live birth.
Severe Low AMH / Poor Ovarian Reserve
Gentle, individualised stimulation protocols, DHEA and CoQ10 priming, natural cycle IVF, and advanced embryology to maximize egg quality from limited reserve.
Advanced Male Infertility

Minimally invasive advanced laparoscopic surgery and hysteroscopic intervention for Endometriosis, Fibroids, Uterine Polyps, Asherman’s Syndrome, and Blocked Fallopian Tubes.
PGT-A Genetic Embryo Testing
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies — identifying chromosomally normal embryos for transfer, dramatically reducing miscarriage risk and improving live birth rates for appropriate candidates.
Advanced Maternal Age IVF
Carefully individualised protocols for women over 37 — balancing aggressive stimulation to maximise egg yield with mitochondrial support strategies to preserve egg quality.
Unexplained Infertility
Systematic, evidence-based diagnostic workup including immunological panels, ERA testing, sperm DNA fragmentation, and 3D uterine sonography — leaving no stone unturned before treatment is decided.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Dr. Pranay Shah perform Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy surgeries as well as IVF?
Yes. Dr. Shah is a highly trained Endoscopic Gynaecological Surgeon in addition to being an IVF specialist. He routinely performs Diagnostic and Operative Laparoscopy to treat endometriosis, PCOD, blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts, and uterine fibroids. He also performs advanced Operative Hysteroscopy for uterine polyps, septa, adhesions, and submucosal fibroids. Critically, he frequently identifies and surgically corrects structural fertility barriers in the same surgical sitting — restoring natural fertility without the need for IVF in appropriate cases.
Will I see Dr. Pranay Shah at every appointment, or will I be seen by different doctors?
At Wellspring IVF, Dr. Shah prides himself on a genuinely personalized care model. He personally conducts your initial consultation, personally designs your stimulation protocol, personally performs the egg retrieval procedure, and personally conducts your embryo transfer. You are never passed between multiple doctors during active treatment. This continuity of expert care is one of the strongest differentiators of Wellspring IVF from larger corporate fertility chains.
What is Dr. Shah's approach to patients who have experienced multiple failed IVF cycles?
Dr. Shah takes a systematic, investigative approach to recurrent IVF failure — treating it as an unsolved diagnostic puzzle rather than a reason to escalate to donor. He will conduct a detailed review of all previous cycle documentation, stimulation protocols, embryology reports, and endometrial findings. He may recommend investigations including ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis), immunological panels, sperm DNA fragmentation testing, and hysteroscopic cavity evaluation to identify the specific root cause of failure before designing a customized new protocol.
Does Dr. Shah treat severe male infertility, including zero sperm count (Azoospermia)?
Yes. Dr. Shah works with a team of specialized embryologists to manage even the most complex male infertility cases. For men with zero sperm count, he utilizes surgical sperm retrieval techniques including Micro-TESE and PESA. Advanced ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) and IMSI (which uses 6,600x magnification to identify structurally optimal sperm) are then used to maximize fertilization from retrieved sperm. Sperm DNA Fragmentation testing is also available to assess sperm quality at a genetic level.
I have very Low AMH. Is Dr. Shah able to help me have a baby with my own eggs?
Low AMH is one of Dr. Shah’s most specialized areas of clinical focus. His approach is rooted in the Self-Egg First philosophy. He utilizes individualized gentle stimulation protocols, DHEA and CoQ10 supplementation protocols, and advanced embryology to maximise the quality — not just the quantity — of eggs retrieved. Many patients who were told by other specialists that donor egg was their only option have successfully achieved pregnancy with their own eggs under Dr. Shah’s care. An honest assessment of your specific AMH level, antral follicle count, age, and clinical history is made at consultation before any pathway is recommended.
Is Dr. Pranay Shah available for online video consultations for patients outside Ahmedabad?
Yes. Dr. Pranay Shah offers structured online video consultations for patients from other cities in India and for NRI and international patients. This is particularly valuable for couples who wish to review their reports, understand their diagnosis, and plan their treatment protocol remotely before travelling to Ahmedabad for the active treatment cycle.
What languages does Dr. Pranay Shah consult in?
Dr. Shah consults fluently in Gujarati, Hindi, and English — making him equally accessible to patients from Gujarat, across India, and internationally.
