Frequently asked questions
Simple answers to the questions couples ask us most. Don't see yours? Ask us on WhatsApp.
How long should we try before seeing a doctor?
One year if the woman is under 35, six months if she is 35–39, and straight away if she is 40 or above. Go sooner if periods are irregular or there is a known problem. More detail →
Do both partners need to come?
Yes, if possible. Problems can be on either side, so we test both partners from the start.
What should we bring to the first visit?
Old reports, scans, prescriptions, the husband's semen report if done, and the date of your last period. See the full checklist →
Is my visit kept private?
Yes. Your consultation, tests and reports are confidential and are not shared without your permission.
Can I speak to the doctor in Hindi?
Yes. You can talk to us in Hindi or English, whichever you're comfortable with.
Does everyone need IVF?
No. Many couples are helped by simpler treatment such as ovulation medicines or IUI. IVF is suggested only when it's the right option.
What is the difference between IUI and IVF?
In IUI, washed sperm is placed in the uterus and fertilisation happens naturally inside the body. In IVF, eggs are collected and fertilised in the lab, and an embryo is placed in the uterus.
Is IVF painful?
Most women find it manageable. Injections use a fine needle, egg collection is done under light anaesthesia, and embryo transfer usually feels like a routine internal check.
What decides the chance of success?
Mainly the woman's age and egg reserve, the cause of infertility, and sperm quality. Your doctor will talk about your own chances honestly after your tests.
Do I need bed rest after embryo transfer?
No. Normal light activity is fine. Your doctor will tell you if anything should be avoided.
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the treatment and medicines you need. See starting prices on our costs page. We explain your full cost before treatment begins.
Are payment in instalments (EMI) available?
Please see the costs page or ask us. We'll explain the payment options.
How many visits does IVF need?
Usually several short visits for scans over about two weeks, then the egg collection day and the embryo transfer day.
We live outside Moradabad. Can we still come?
Yes. Many patients travel from nearby districts. We can plan visits to reduce travel where possible. How to reach us →
"Infertility is always the woman's problem."
Not true. Male factors are involved in many couples. That's why both partners are tested. About male infertility →
"IVF babies are not normal."
Not true. Babies born through IVF grow up like other children. IVF only helps the egg and sperm meet.
"If you have one child, you can't have fertility problems."
Not true. Difficulty conceiving after an earlier pregnancy (secondary infertility) is common and treatable.
"Irregular periods mean you can never conceive."
Not true. Irregular periods often mean ovulation isn't regular, which is usually treatable. About PCOS →
