About the Procedure

What is IVF?

In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, with the resulting embryo(s) transferred into the uterus. It is recommended for female infertility due to PCOS, diminished ovarian reserve/low AMH, endometriosis, tubal blockage, unexplained infertility, or male factor issues. India offers world-class fertility clinics with high success rates at a fraction of Western costs, making it a leading destination for IVF medical tourism.

Who may be considered?

IVF may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

Standard ovarian stimulation followed by egg retrieval, fertilization via Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and embryo transfer; suitable for most cases including PCOS, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility.

3 approaches available for this procedure:

Conventional IVF with ICSI

Most Popular

Standard ovarian stimulation followed by egg retrieval, fertilization via Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and embryo transfer; suitable for most cases including PCOS, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $300 - $800

AMH, FSH, LH, Estradiol, Thyroid profile (TSH), Prolactin, Semen analysis, Pelvic ultrasound/Transvaginal scan, HSG (if tubal factor suspected), CBC, Infectious disease screening (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, VDRL)

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $2,500 - $4,500

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2-3 days
Hospitalisation: ~2-3 weeks (stimulation + retrieval + transfer)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~3-5 days recommended
Total stay: approx 21-25 days

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Fertility specialist consultations
  • Ovarian stimulation monitoring & medications (base dose)
  • Egg retrieval procedure & anesthesia
  • ICSI/fertilization & embryo culture
  • Embryo transfer procedure
  • Basic pregnancy test follow-up

Usually Not Included

  • Airfare and visa fees
  • Accommodation beyond hospital stay
  • Additional stimulation medication cycles if repeated
  • Embryo freezing/cryopreservation (extra fee)
  • PGT-A genetic testing

Recovery and follow-up

Most patients resume light activities within 2-3 days after egg retrieval, while embryo transfer requires minimal rest with normal activity resuming within a day; a pregnancy test is typically done 10-14 days post-transfer, and clinics provide remote follow-up guidance thereafter.

Risks

Potential risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple pregnancy, egg retrieval-related bleeding or infection, and the possibility of unsuccessful implantation requiring repeat cycles.

Alternatives

Depending on the underlying cause, alternatives may include Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), ovulation induction with timed intercourse, laparoscopic correction of endometriosis/tubal issues, or donor egg IVF for severely diminished ovarian reserve.

Common questions

FAQs about IVF in Mumbai, India

What is Female Infertility?
Female infertility refers to a woman's inability to conceive after a defined period of trying, and it is recognized as a medical condition with identifiable causes that can often be investigated and treated. It may arise from factors affecting ovulation, the uterus, the fallopian tubes, or the broader hormonal environment, and in some cases no single cause is identified.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Female Infertility?
Female infertility itself is often silent, but associated conditions may present with irregular or absent menstrual periods, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, or abnormal hormonal signs such as excessive hair growth or unexplained weight changes. These features may point toward underlying causes such as PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid dysfunction, or hyperprolactinaemia. It is important to note that the presence or absence of symptoms alone cannot confirm or rule out infertility or its underlying cause—only a structured clinical evaluation can do that.
How is Female Infertility diagnosed?
Assessment typically begins with a detailed menstrual and reproductive history, followed by blood tests to evaluate ovarian reserve (including AMH and day-3 FSH levels), thyroid function, prolactin, and other hormonal markers. Pelvic ultrasound is commonly used to assess the ovaries and uterine cavity, while a hysterosalpingography (HSG) or hysterosonography may be performed to evaluate fallopian tube patency and uterine structure. In some cases, laparoscopy is recommended to directly visualise and assess conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic adhesions that may not be detectable on imaging alone.
How is Female Infertility treated?
Treatment for female infertility is highly individualised and depends on the identified cause, the woman's age, ovarian reserve, and overall health status—no single approach is appropriate for all patients. Non-procedural options such as ovulation induction with oral medications, hormonal therapy, or management of underlying conditions like thyroid disease may be sufficient for some women. When these approaches are insufficient, assisted reproductive technologies such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilisation (IVF) may be recommended, and in selected cases surgical correction of structural abnormalities may also play a role.
Can Female Infertility be treated without a procedure?
Many women with infertility are managed without surgery, particularly when the cause relates to ovulatory dysfunction or hormonal imbalance; options include lifestyle modification (weight optimisation, smoking cessation), oral ovulation-induction agents such as letrozole or clomiphene, and medical management of conditions such as PCOS, hyperprolactinaemia, or thyroid disorders. However, when causes such as blocked fallopian tubes, significant fibroids, or moderate-to-severe endometriosis are identified, non-surgical approaches alone are unlikely to be sufficient, and the most appropriate pathway will be determined by a qualified specialist based on individual findings.
When is IVF considered for Female Infertility?
IVF may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Female Infertility?
Female infertility is typically evaluated and managed by a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist (REI), who may work alongside a gynaecologist with subspecialty training in reproductive medicine. In cases involving suspected structural or surgical pathology, a gynaecological surgeon with experience in minimally invasive or reproductive surgery may also be involved in care.
How do I choose a doctor for Female Infertility?
When selecting a specialist or clinic, it is worth comparing the team's documented experience with the specific cause of your infertility, the range of diagnostic investigations and treatment options available on-site (including IUI and IVF), accreditation of the laboratory if ART is anticipated, and the clarity of follow-up and monitoring protocols between cycles or after procedures.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
