IVF Hospital Near Mehsana, Gujarat

Frequently Asked Questions

• We've done 3 IUI cycles in Mehsana without success. Should we just move on to IVF, or is there something else to investigate first?

  Three failed IUI cycles is a significant signal that something is either undiagnosed or the treatment approach needs to change — but the right next step is not automatically IVF. Before committing to an IVF cycle, Dr. Shah strongly recommends a structural evaluation: a hysteroscopy to examine the uterine cavity (which can identify polyps, submucosal fibroids, adhesions, or a uterine septum — all of which impair implantation and are commonly missed on ultrasound), and a laparoscopy if tube patency, endometriosis, or pelvic adhesions are suspected. The investment of one diagnostic procedure — which can often also be therapeutic in the same session — before starting IVF is almost always worth making. It prevents the far greater cost, physical burden, and emotional toll of a failed IVF cycle that a treatable structural issue caused. Send your prior investigation records via WhatsApp to 9099946050 for Dr. Shah’s initial assessment.

• Does Wellspring IVF have a clinic in Mehsana?

  No. All procedures — IVF, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, embryo transfer — are performed exclusively at our facility at Titanium City Center, Satellite, Ahmedabad. We do not have branches. The centralisation of all procedures at one facility is not a logistical limitation — it is the clinical model that ensures Class 10,000 lab quality, coordinated surgical and embryology teams, and Dr. Shah’s personal oversight of every procedure.

• Can laparoscopy be done as a day-care procedure — can I go home to Mehsana the same day?

  For most laparoscopy procedures — diagnostic laparoscopy, ovarian cystectomy, adhesiolysis, endometriosis ablation — yes, same-day return to Mehsana is possible. After the procedure, you rest in Wellspring IVF’s dedicated day-care recovery area for 1–2 hours. Our clinical team confirms you are comfortable, vital signs are stable, and post-anaesthesia recovery is complete before you are cleared to travel. The 75 km drive home to Mehsana is then appropriate. For combined laparoscopy + hysteroscopy procedures — which involve a longer theatre time — we recommend discussing with Dr. Shah whether a short overnight rest near the clinic is advisable before the return drive. Your safety on the road is the deciding factor, not clinic policy.

• My HSG showed one blocked tube. Can I still try IVF, or does the tube need to be treated first?

  It depends on what type of blockage, and whether the tube is simply blocked or whether it is a hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled damaged tube). A blocked tube alone does not prevent IVF — eggs are retrieved directly from the ovary, bypassing the tubes entirely. However, a hydrosalpinx is a different situation: the toxic fluid within a hydrosalpinx leaks into the uterine cavity and measurably reduces IVF success rates. Published studies show that a hydrosalpinx reduces IVF implantation rates by approximately 50% — and that salpingectomy (surgical removal of the hydrosalpinx) before IVF transfer restores success rates to normal. If your HSG or ultrasound suggests a possible hydrosalpinx, laparoscopic evaluation and surgical management before embryo transfer is strongly indicated. This is exactly the kind of finding that Dr. Shah would want to address before starting your IVF cycle.

• How many trips to Ahmedabad will a full investigation + IVF cycle require from Mehsana?

  Typically 3–4 planned trips, depending on whether a diagnostic or therapeutic surgical procedure is required: (1) Diagnostic/surgical procedure day — laparoscopy or hysteroscopy if clinically indicated (same-day return in most cases); (2) OPU/egg retrieval day — arrive morning, same-day return; (3) Embryo transfer day — same-day return. For freeze-all cycles (where embryos are vitrified for PGT-A or endometrial preparation), the FET transfer is a 4th trip. All other stages — stimulation injections, monitoring scans, post-transfer blood tests — are managed from Mehsana via local scan centres, local labs, and WhatsApp-guided remote monitoring. The 75 km drive to Ahmedabad is made only when a specialist facility is genuinely required.

• My PCOS has been treated with Clomid and IUI cycles in Mehsana. Am I at risk of OHSS if I do IVF?

  PCOS patients have a higher baseline risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) with certain IVF stimulation protocols — this is a real concern that needs active management rather than reassurance. Dr. Shah’s approach for PCOS patients specifically includes: using an antagonist stimulation protocol with lower starting FSH doses; monitoring follicle development carefully to adjust doses in real time; using a GnRH agonist trigger instead of hCG trigger when OHSS risk is elevated; and applying a freeze-all strategy — no fresh embryo transfer in the same cycle — which eliminates the late-onset OHSS risk that is amplified by pregnancy. With this protocol architecture, IVF success rates in well-managed PCOS patients are very high. See our dedicated page on our approach to PCOS and IVF for full detail.
