IVF Treatment in Ahmedabad
IVF is a fertility treatment in which eggs are fertilised with sperm in a laboratory and an embryo may then be transferred to the uterus. The treatment plan, laboratory procedures, and suitability of IVF depend on individual clinical assessment. Ask the fertility specialist about the available treatment options, relevant risks, costs, and expected outcomes.
An IVF cycle may involve ovarian stimulation, monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. Additional procedures, such as ICSI or embryo freezing, may be considered where clinically appropriate. Confirm which procedures and laboratory services are currently available at the hospital.
IVF costs can vary according to the recommended treatment plan, medicines, investigations, and any additional procedures. Contact the hospital to ask for an estimate and clarification of what the quoted charges include.
IUI ; Intrauterine Insemination
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility procedure in which prepared sperm is placed into the uterus around the time of ovulation. It may be considered for selected fertility conditions following assessment by a qualified specialist.
IUI and IVF differ in their procedures, indications, costs, and potential outcomes. The appropriate option depends on factors such as the fertility diagnosis, age, medical history, investigation results, and individual treatment considerations.
A fertility specialist can explain the available options, their potential benefits and risks, and whether IUI or IVF may be appropriate in your circumstances. Treatment recommendations should be based on clinical assessment.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) involves testing cells from embryos created during IVF for selected genetic or chromosomal findings. The type of test, its limitations, and whether it is appropriate depend on the clinical indication. PGT does not guarantee implantation, pregnancy, or the birth of a healthy child. Discuss its potential benefits, limitations, and risks with a qualified fertility specialist and genetic counsellor, where appropriate.
At Mayflower's IVF centre in Ahmedabad, we offer:
- PGT-A - screens for chromosomal number abnormalities (aneuploidy)
- PGT-M - screens for specific inherited genetic conditions
Whether PGT is appropriate depends on the clinical history, the reason for considering testing, and the type of genetic test involved. Age, previous pregnancy history, IVF history, and known inherited conditions may be relevant to the assessment. A qualified specialist should discuss the indications, limitations, alternatives, and implications before testing is considered.
Egg & Sperm Donor Programme
Donor eggs or sperm may be considered in selected fertility treatment situations, depending on the clinical assessment and applicable requirements. Contact the hospital to confirm whether donor programmes are currently available and to understand the consultation process.
Donor eligibility, medical screening, documentation, and other procedures must follow applicable legal and clinical requirements. Confirm the screening processes used by the programme with the treating team.
Patients considering donor treatment can ask the treating team about counselling, consent, documentation, confidentiality, and the applicable rules governing donor information. These arrangements should be explained before treatment begins.
IVF Treatment Options
Some fertility treatment plans may involve additional laboratory tests or procedures. Their availability, clinical indications, potential benefits, limitations, and risks should be discussed with a qualified fertility specialist.

Guide to IVF Treatment
Step 1: Fertility Assessment
Initial assessment may include a consultation, review of medical and fertility history, hormone tests, ultrasound assessment, semen analysis, or other investigations depending on individual clinical needs.
Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation
Fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs during a treatment cycle.
Step 3: Monitoring & Follicular Tracking
Ultrasound scans and, where indicated, hormone assessments may be used to monitor follicle development and help the treating team plan the timing of egg retrieval.
Step 4: Oocyte Pickup
Egg retrieval is a procedure performed using an appropriate anaesthetic or sedation plan. The procedure, observation period, and discharge arrangements depend on the patient's circumstances and the treating team's assessment.
Step 5: Fertilisation & Embryo Culture
Retrieved eggs may be fertilised using IVF or, where indicated, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Embryos may then be cultured in a laboratory, depending on the treatment plan and available services.
Step 6: Embryo Transfer
Where appropriate, an embryo may be transferred into the uterus. Embryo freezing may be considered for suitable embryos when clinically appropriate and available. The treating team can explain the procedure, options, and limitations.
Step 7: Pregnancy Test & Follow-Up
A pregnancy test is arranged at the time advised by the treating team after embryo transfer. Follow-up and any further monitoring depend on the test result and the patient's clinical circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions About IVF in Ahmedabad
IVF outcomes vary according to factors such as age, fertility diagnosis, medical history, and the treatment undertaken. Ask the fertility specialist to explain the relevant outcome measures, the evidence available, and the limitations of applying published results to an individual case.
IVF costs may vary according to the recommended treatment plan, medicines, investigations, and any additional procedures. Contact the hospital to ask for a cost estimate and clarification of which services and charges are included.
IUI involves placing prepared sperm into the uterus around the time of ovulation. IVF involves fertilising eggs in a laboratory and may involve transferring an embryo to the uterus. Their indications and suitability differ, and the appropriate option depends on the individual's clinical assessment.
The number of IVF cycles required varies between individuals, and pregnancy is not guaranteed in any particular cycle. The treating specialist can discuss the factors relevant to your circumstances, possible next steps, and the costs and considerations of further treatment.
Endometriosis may affect fertility, but treatment decisions depend on the severity and location of the condition, age, fertility history, ovarian reserve, and other clinical findings. Surgery is not automatically required before IVF for every patient. A qualified fertility specialist and, where appropriate, an endometriosis specialist can discuss the available options and their potential benefits and risks. Confirm the hospital's current multidisciplinary arrangements before describing its services.
Investigations may include hormone tests such as AMH where indicated, ultrasound assessment, semen analysis, thyroid testing, or other tests based on the medical history and clinical assessment. The tests required vary between patients.
IVF may be considered for some patients with blocked fallopian tubes because fertilisation takes place outside the body. Suitability depends on the type of blockage, other fertility factors, and clinical assessment by a qualified specialist.
