Egg freezing is a great way of gaining peace of mind !
Many older women know that their biological clock is ticking on, but aren't sure how to optimise their ability to have a baby.Egg freezing is a great choice for them, because it increases their options, and they don't have to force themselves into doing something which they regret later on, because it buys them time to make a more thoughtful decision.The perfect candidate for egg freezing is someone who has good ovarian reserve, but hasn't found Mr Right, and wants to postpone child bearing , without making decisions she may regret later on.For older women, it's hard to predict how quickly ovarian reserve will decline, and...

Why bypassing the tubes is so helpful when doing IVF
Since IVF basically allows us to bypass the fallopian tubes, it ’s obvious that it’s going to be helpful for treating patients with tubal factor infertility – those whose tubes are blocked or damaged .However, it ’s become invaluable for treating a much wider range of indications, and in fact it has become the treatment of last resort for all infertile couples , no matter what their diagnosis is.While IVF was first developed for those patients without functional fallopian tubes , it can be used for treating any couple , no matter what the cause of their infertility is.Thus, if a man has a low sperm count , or a zer...

Making sense of IVF treatment
Many patients are intimidated by the idea of doing IVF .It ’s not just that it's an expensive treatment , or that the success rate is not 100-percent . The mental block seems to be that it’s artificial and very complicated . They are not sure what the effects of “pumping their bodies with hormones” will be, and have heard lots of horror stories abou t complications , such as multiple pregnancies or hyperstimulation .This is why it ’s so important that you understand exactly what's involved in an IVF Cycle before starting your treatment, so that you get the best possible treatment .The best metaphor is to compare ...

How much will a second IVF cycle cost ?
Patients are getting better informed about IVF, and they realise that IVF doesn't have a hundred percent success rate. They know that they need to go through 2-3 cycles before they succeed, and because IVF is so expensive, they're very worried about how much the second and the third cycle will cost.It ’s important to ask these questions upfront , because many doctors will give discounts for the second and third cycle.Some will offer packages for three cycles, and give a reduced rate for the subsequent cycles.We offer a shared risk program, which means if you don't get pregnant in 4 cycles , we return all your money back ...

IVF patients and doctor shopping
Many IVF patients doctor-shop, but you need to understand the difference between cost , price and value so you can do this intelligently.IVF patients are often very confused about the costs of an IVF cycle. Obviously , they want to save money , and they read all these full page ads, which talk about how an IVF cycle costs only Rs 25000 ! They are happy to sign up , because that's an amount they can afford.However, they actually start the treatment, they end up spending more like Rs 200000, because the doctors keep on upselling them !Sadly, IVF clinics aren't usually honest or transparent about the charges. They advertise a...

Price vs Value for IVF patients
Most IVF patients want the cheapest possible IVF treatment.They naively assume that all IVF doctors are equally good, and that success rates are high in all IVF clinics. They are basically looking for a bargain, which is why they go doctor-shopping , and hunt for the cheapest IVF clinic.Doctors are smart, and many IVF clinics take advantage of this bargain hunting mentality of ignorant patients, who can ’t look beyond the price.They buy full page ads, and sponsored slots on TV talk shows. Their focus is on highlighting how affordable and cheap they are. They also offer all kinds of bargains and discounts to pu...

Why do some doctors insist on doing a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy before an IVF treatment ?
Many IVF patients are advised to do a hysteroscopy and/or a laparoscopy before starting IVF treatment.Now, this makes a lot of sense for the doctor because they can charge for every surgical procedure - and the more the procedures they do, the more the money they make. But the reality is that most of these operations are completely uncalled for, and they need to be used very selectively. Thus, it may make sense to do a hysteroscopy in case the ultrasound shows that you have a polyp, but if your vaginal ultrasound scan shows your endometrium is normal, then there's no justification to subjecting you to this surgery.Yes, the...

How IVF doctors buy fame !
Patients are often not sure which IVF clinic to choose.This is an expensive decision, and they know a lot depends on it.Most of them naively assume that all IVF clinics are equally good. This is why they will select one using the following criteria:the nearest one;the cheapest one;the one their GP refers them to;the one their friend has told them about;the one which advertises;the one which offers free medical camps for infertile couplesMany select a clinic based on its brand name – what they think of as a famous and renowned clinic.Sadly, the truth is a lot of these clinics purchase their renown – they don’t earn ...

How Work from home will help make IVF treatment easier for infertile women
One of the impacts of the Coronavirus epidemic has been the reality that most people don't need to go to work daily ! Many executives can work effectively from home.This is great news for women who want to plan their families, and not sacrifice having a baby at the altar of their career.One of the problems with working in a high pressure corporate job was that when you wanted to have a baby and needed to take IVF treatment, it was very hard to take leave.You had to get all kinds of permissions, and you had to explain to your boss why you were going to be absent.Many managers were very reluctant to give this permission...
