Fertility care in India

Why Choose India for Fertility Treatment

Fertility treatment in India has become a preferred choice for patients from all over the world. Patients can also enjoy access to specialised fertility care, as well as advanced reproductive technologies and a relatively low cost of fertility treatment.

Some reasons to consider India for fertility treatment are:

01

Advanced Fertility Treatments

Indian fertility centres provide various treatments and services such as IVF, ICSI, IUI, egg freezing, embryo freezing and donor programmes. A treatment option is available to the patient depending on the specific fertility needs and medical history.

02

Experienced Fertility Specialists

India has a huge cadre of trained experts in the field of fertility, reproductive medicine, gynaecologists and embryologists. They have a wealth of experience treating a variety of infertility issues, which can assist patients in developing personalised treatment plans that are suited to their needs.

03

Low Treatment Costs

Fertility treatment in India can be more affordable than in some nations, especially in terms of IVF and ICSI treatments. This can facilitate access to advanced fertility care for patients who come from abroad while maintaining the treatment options offered.

04

Modern IVF and Embryology Facility

Most of the reputed fertility clinics in India have well-equipped IVF labs and embryology facilities. Important stages of treatment like fertilisation, embryo culture and cryopreservation are assisted by advanced laboratory techniques, controlled environment and experienced embryologists.

05

Personalised Treatment Plans

Fertility treatment is a process that does not fit all. Individualised treatment protocols can be provided by Indian fertility clinics, depending on the age, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, previous treatment experiences and reproductive health of the couple.

06

Comprehensive Fertility Care

Patients can receive several fertility services along one care pathway such as fertility investigations, counselling, assisted reproduction and pregnancy monitoring. This may help to decrease the coordination of care between carers.

07

Support for International Patients

Fertility clinics overseas will be able to help you with accommodation, travel and treatment coordination. This can help to make the logistics of going overseas for fertility treatment simpler to manage.

08

Shorter Waiting Times

Patients may be able to undergo fertility assessment and treatment without the drawn-out wait times that are sometimes experienced in other countries with other clinics and treatment options.

09

Established Regulatory Framework

India has a legal regime pertaining to ART, which includes the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. This acts as a regulation of ART clinics and ART banks, and assists the safe and ethical use of ART.

10

Convenient International Connectivity

India has excellent connectivity to several countries with its key international airports. Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata are amongst the cities with great international connectivity so that international patients can travel for planned fertility treatment with ease.

The decision to opt for fertility treatment in India should not be taken solely due to costs. The patient needs to take into account the experience of the fertility specialist, laboratory standards, transparency of the treatment, regulations, expected treatment duration, and the support offered during the treatment.

Why Femcare

Why International Patients Choose Femcare Fertility

International fertility treatment isn't just about choosing another country for medical treatment. Patients require communication, individualised treatment planning and practical support when undergoing treatment and after treatment.

Femcare Fertility has a separate program for foreign patients and has successfully treated over 100 foreign patients from nations like Ethiopia, Eritrea, Dubai and more.

Fertility care is fully personalised

All fertility journeys are unique. Treatment will depend on the condition of the uterus, previous treatment experiences, egg quality and sperm quality, age and ovarian reserve, etc.

Treatment plans are tailored to each patient and discussed with the doctor overseeing the patient's treatment at Femcare Fertility. The fertility team comprises specialists in reproductive medicine and dedicated embryologists dealing with laboratory procedures.

Experienced Fertility Specialists

Knowledge is a key factor in fertility treatment. The specialists at Femcare Fertility have experience in the field of reproductive medicine, while the embryology team specialises in the laboratory side of assisted reproduction.

For instance, at Pune centres, Femcare has Dr. Pallavi Tiple as the Medical Director, Infertility Specialist and Gynaecologist with 10 years of experience, and Mr. Sudarshan Kale as the Chief Embryologist.

Advanced Embryology Laboratory

Fertilisation and the development of early embryos occur in a controlled environment of the embryology laboratory, making its role in IVF very significant. Femcare Fertility emphasises its top-notch embryology lab and quality procedures in its fertility care methods.

Transparent Treatment Planning

Patients from abroad should learn about the treatments they are getting and what they would have to pay. According to Femcare Fertility, they can give you a breakdown prior to treatment to make you aware of what you'll need to spend.

Travel and Stay Support

Femcare Fertility offers international patients assistance with travel and accommodation. The international patient programme specifies that pickup and drop-off services are available from the Mumbai or Pune airports. The clinic also co-operates with affordable guesthouses/hotels: the cost of room and food is taken into account in the process of treatment planning.

Post-hospital Support upon Discharge

You don't have to stop with your fertility journey when you cross the border. After foreign patients come back to their own country, they can reach the team on WhatsApp or email if they have any questions or need any follow-up assistance, says Femcare Fertility.

Treatments

Fertility Treatments Available for International Patients

The right treatment is determined after a medical evaluation. Your fertility specialist may suggest one of a variety of assisted reproductive treatments based on your fertility history, test results and clinical needs.

Most requested

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

Know More

In IVF, or in vitro fertilisation, the woman's ovaries are stimulated to grow several eggs, the eggs are collected, the sperm is combined with the eggs in the lab, and the embryos are allowed to grow in the lab. The embryo can then be transferred to the uterus. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a form of IVF that involves injecting sperm directly into the egg.

ICSI is a highly advanced fertilisation technique which is commonly employed in IVF procedures. In ICSI, just one sperm is placed directly into an egg to help it be fertilised. ICSI may be suggested for some male fertility problems, previously experienced problems in fertilisation or in need of particular treatment. ICSI treatment is offered by Femcare Fertility, and the fee may vary depending on the treatment, medicines, diagnostic investigations, complexity of treatment and other procedures.

Femcare Fertility provides IVF treatment and tailors a treatment plan per the patient's clinical needs.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility procedure where specialised sperm is inserted into the uterus near the time of ovulation. It might be suggested for certain patients with unexplained infertility, mild male and/or female fertility problems related to ovulation. Less invasive than IVF and can be considered before more advanced assisted reproductive treatments.

Femcare Fertility can assist international patients in the process, from starting with a consultation and review of their medical records, through treatment planning, and to the treatment itself in India. The team can also help coordinate your travel, pick up / drop off from Mumbai or Pune airport, arrange rooms at your hotel, and communicate with you after treatment to assist you in your home country.

Know More

Donor Egg IVF

Donor Egg IVF is an assisted reproductive treatment where eggs from a screened donor are inseminated in the laboratory with the intended father's (or donor's) sperm. The embryos created in this process are then inserted into the woman's womb. It could be used when the patient's eggs are not appropriate, for example, if she has had previous unsuccessful IVF or has low ovarian reserve or poor egg quality.

For international patients, Femcare Fertility can help coordinate the treatment path by reviewing their medical records, discussing their eligibility, and preparing the treatment plan in India. The team can also offer travel and accommodation assistance, airport pick-up and drop-off, treatment coordination, and post-treatment communication, providing clarity and convenience for the international patient throughout their fertility treatment journey.

Know More

Donor Sperm Treatment

Male infertility or other medical reasons may warrant treatment with donor sperm. Femcare Fertility offers sperm donation treatment in accordance with the ART framework of India. The clinic clarifies that the sperm is obtained from donors' ART banks, which are screened and stored.

Know More

Egg Freezing

Oocyte cryopreservation, or egg freezing, is the removal of eggs and storing them in case they might be needed later. Egg freezing is not necessarily suitable for everyone, and may not be right for a patient's fertility situation or plans.

Know More

Embryo Freezing

Frozen embryos may be stored for future use, when clinically indicated, following IVF. The timeline for frozen embryo transfer cycles may vary from a fresh cycle, as the uterus can perhaps be ready for frozen embryo transfer without being ready for the fresh cycle.

Know More

Preserving Fertility and Other Treatment Options

Femcare Fertility offers a wide range of fertility treatments—such as fertility preservation, cryopreservation and other assisted reproductive techniques. The treatment that is recommended will vary according to the diagnosis, the medical assessment and the reproductive desires of the patient.

Know More
Beyond the clinic

Our International Patient Services

When planning for overseas treatment for fertility, you need to think of both medical and practical possibilities. Femcare Fertility's international patient programme is intended to assist the patients in various stages of their journey.

Travel and Stay Support

Femcare Fertility can arrange pick-up and drop-off from Mumbai and Pune airports. The clinic also has a set of affordable guest houses and hotels in place and will be able to provide you with information regarding the hotel's cost as well as meal information while developing the patient's course of treatment.

Airport Pick-up and Drop-off

If the patient is from Mumbai or Pune airport, a car will be arranged to pick him up at the airport and drop him at the hospital in Pune or at his place of staying in Pune. This will help patients from abroad plan for their arrival and onward journey in accordance with their treatment plans.

Accommodation Support

The patients who come from other countries need to undergo treatment in India for a number of weeks as per the treatment plan. Femcare Fertility has entered into partnership with guesthouses and hotels and can obtain details of the cost of the accommodation and meals as part of treatment planning.

Treatment Coordination

The international patient programme involves coordination of the treatment process. Patients can provide medical data before they travel, which will enable the fertility team to evaluate the patient's situation and plan accordingly.

Upon arrival, the medical team performs the necessary sonographic scans, blood tests and other assessments to determine the treatment plan before any treatment is done.

Follow-Up Assistance

Your fertility journey does not end when you leave India. International patients, after back home, will continue to get help from doctors at Femcare Fertility. We can offer post-treatment support via WhatsApp video calls or email, and answer any questions and give guidance related to the treatment. Depending on your specific treatment plan, your fertility specialist will be able to recommend pregnancy testing, medications, follow-up visits, and what to expect after your treatment. If further consultation is needed, the team can support you in arranging relevant follow-up consultations. This ongoing communication makes international patients feel supported beyond their treatment in India.

How it works

Step-by-Step Process for International Patients

It can be complicated to plan fertility treatment abroad. It's helpful to understand what to expect if you break the process down into steps.

  1. 1
    Step 1 · Before you travel

    Online Consultation

    This process may start even before you leave for India. The fertility team will have the opportunity to review your previous fertility history, treatment reports, investigation results and other pertinent medical information.

    An initial consultation will allow your doctor to get to know the history of your medical issues and discuss what further investigations or treatment might be suitable for you.

    If the IVF treatment has been previously attempted, provide any information that might be relevant, including ovarian stimulation information, number of eggs retrieved, fertilisation outcome, embryo development, embryo quality and previous pregnancy outcome.

  2. 2
    Step 2

    Medical Evaluation

    Your fertility specialist will look at the information he/she has and may want to conduct more tests before deciding on your treatment plan.

    This could involve hormone testing, ultrasound examination, ovarian reserve testing and semen analysis and other tests.

    Your own country's medical records might be helpful since they may prevent all those repeat tests. In India, however, some investigations might have to be repeated to ensure that the results are up-to-date or clinically required.

  3. 3
    Step 3

    Treatment Planning

    The fertility team will be able to review your medical information with you and talk about the treatment recommended, the timeline of the treatment and the estimated cost.

    Treatment costs may vary according to the treatment needed, says Femcare Fertility. On average, it costs around USD 2500 – 5000 as per its international patient information, depending on the type of IVF, such as self IVF, donor egg IVF, IVF, etc.

    Final cost may vary based on medications, investigations, lab procedures, other techniques and personal clinical needs.

  4. 4
    Step 4

    Travel Planning

    After discussing your treatment plan and the likely period of your treatment, you can make plans to come to India.

    International patients should plan enough time to attend appointments, keep up monitoring, procedures and recover or follow up as needed. Treatment is dependent on the treatment protocol and whether the treatment can be administered over one session.

    Patients who come to Femcare Fertility from the airport can be offered help in arranging their accommodation and travelling between the airport and Femcare Fertility in Pune or Mumbai.

  5. 5
    Step 5 · In India

    Treatment in India

    The Femcare Fertility team of doctors arrives in India and performs a sonography scan, blood tests and other evaluations that are needed to decide on the treatment to be used. Treatment may then start, depending on the results and the treatment plan suggested by the fertility specialist.

    Treatment may include ovarian stimulation, monitoring, retrieval of eggs, fertilisation, culture and transfer of embryos (or freezing) for an IVF cycle depending on the treatment plan.

  6. 6
    Step 6 · Back home

    Follow-Up Care

    Follow-ups are different depending on the treatment received and the clinical status of the patient.

    The Femcare Fertility team says that patients who go back to their respective countries can reach out to them via WhatsApp or email, ask questions and get follow-up support.

    Your doctor will discuss the use of pregnancy testing, any medication, and follow-up visits and any additional treatment needed following therapy.

Cost

Cost of Fertility Treatment in India for International Patients

The cost of fertility treatment is one of the major reasons why international patients opt for India. But because fertility treatments are personalised, there's no single price that applies to every patient.

International patients
US$2,500 – US$5,000

According to Femcare Fertility's international patient information, there are no fixed fees for IVF; the treatment cost ranges from around US$2,500 to US$5,000, depending on the treatment that is required.

IVF in India, per cycle (INR)
Rs 90,000 – Rs 2,50,000+

If a patient is looking for IVF treatment in Indian rupees, Femcare Fertility's IVF information outlines that the treatment cost for IVF in India per cycle can range from about Rs 90,000 to Rs 2,50,000 or even more, contingent upon the clinic, city, medicines and other fertility techniques utilised.

The overall treatment cost could involve:

  • Initial consultation and fertility assessment
  • Blood tests and hormonal tests
  • Ultrasound and follicular monitoring
  • Ovarian stimulating drugs and fertility drugs
  • Egg retrieval
  • Embryology laboratory procedures
  • Fertilisation
  • Embryo culture
  • Embryo transfer
  • ICSI, where recommended
  • Freezing or cryopreservation of embryos
  • Donor egg or donor sperm treatment (if applicable)
  • Advanced tests such as genetic testing, if clinically advised
  • An allowance for accommodation and travel costs

Not all patients need all components.

Donor programmes, for instance, or genetic testing can also impact the total estimate, while ICSI can raise the overall treatment costs. Some other treatments, like ICSI, PGT-A, ERA and donor egg and donor sperm treatment, may also be offered with IVF and can add to the price of IVF, says Femcare Fertility.

The best way for an international patient is therefore to ask for an estimate of treatment rather than the advertised starting price.

Request your treatment estimate
Planning your trip

Treatment Duration & Stay in India

The duration of your treatment in India is dependent on the treatment protocol, period and your investigations and whether it is fresh embryo transfer or frozen embryo transfer.

A standard IVF cycle can take several weeks to go through. According to the information notes provided by Femcare Fertility, the entire process of IVF treatment may last for about four weeks to six weeks, depending on the patient and the treatment protocol followed.

Typical Timeline

The overall phases can be:

  1. 01
    Pre-treatment Evaluation

    Medical records are reviewed and tests are completed.

  2. 02
    Ovarian Stimulation

    Fertility medications are given that stimulate the ovaries to grow multiple follicles.

  3. 03
    Monitoring

    Ultrasound scans and blood tests can be performed to track the development of follicles and levels of hormones.

  4. 04
    Collection of Eggs

    When the follicles mature to the proper size, eggs are retrieved using an egg retrieval procedure.

  5. 05
    Fertilisation & Embryo Development

    Eggs are fertilised in the lab, and embryos are monitored as they progress.

  6. 06
    Embryo Transfer

    If part of the treatment involves embryo transfer, the embryo is inserted into the uterus.

  7. 07
    Pregnancy Testing

    This is usually carried out around 10–14 days after the embryo transfer.

How many days should you stay?

The length of your stay will depend on the nature of your IVF treatment, the medical evaluation and whether or not you need a fresh embryo transfer versus a frozen embryo transfer. To determine how long it takes to travel internationally, most patients should take into account their individual treatment plan, not a specific length of time.

Femcare Fertility can assist international patients in arranging your medical appointments, arranging an airport transfer, and booking accommodation to ensure that your treatment journey is planned around your medical appointments. This will need to be discussed with your fertility specialist based on your medical history and treatment needs.

Multiple visits (if needed)

Depending on your treatment plan, you may not need to complete every stage of fertility treatment in a single visit to India. Some investigations and consultations may be completed before travelling, while certain treatment stages can be planned around your stay in India.

First visit

May include consultation, medical evaluation, investigations and treatment planning.

Second visit

If required, you may return for procedures such as embryo transfer or other planned treatment.

Frozen embryo transfer

Patients with frozen embryos may require a separate visit depending on the treatment protocol and preparation of the uterine lining.

Follow-up

After returning home, follow-up can often be coordinated remotely with your fertility team, depending on your individual circumstances.

Your fertility specialist will recommend whether multiple visits are necessary based on your treatment plan, medical requirements and travel considerations.

Outcomes

Success Rates & Clinical Excellence

85%
Overall success rate stated for international patients at Femcare Fertility

*Success rates may be determined in various ways and can vary from person to person.

Various factors affect the success of IVF, and no fertility clinic can ensure pregnancy after a single IVF cycle.

One of the most significant factors that can contribute to the success of IVF is the age of the patient. The number and quality of eggs tend to decrease as patients age, so it is important to consider this factor when planning a fertility treatment. Other factors are ovarian reserve, semen quality, quality of embryos, uterine health, history of fertility, and medical conditions.

An overall success rate is stated as 85% for international patients at Femcare Fertility. However, success rates may be determined in various ways and can vary from person to person.

Therefore, patients need to understand exactly how this success rate is determined, such as by pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, number of implants or live births, and per cycle or retrieval/embryo transfer.

Success Indicators

When assessing fertility treatment, there are several important considerations to make, such as:

  • A fertility specialist's experience is essential
  • Expertise and knowledge of embryologists is required
  • Sample quality and methods
  • Individualised treatment planning
  • Embryo development and quality
  • Ovarian response
  • Fertility and reproductive status
  • Sperm quality
  • Patient age
  • Previous fertility treatments
  • Suitable monitoring throughout the cycle

Technology Used

Today, coordinated clinical and laboratory treatment is essential for modern assisted reproductive technology. Treatment options for patients may include IVF, ICSI, embryo freezing, embryo cryopreservation, donor programmes and other assisted reproductive procedures.

Femcare Fertility emphasises using the latest technology and a specialised team of Embryologists in its fertility treatments.

Laboratory Standards

The embryology laboratory plays an important role in IVF treatment as eggs, sperm and embryos are manipulated in the laboratory. Important factors in fertility care include consistent laboratory procedures, quality protocols, experienced embryologists and controlled conditions.

Femcare Fertility claims to have a state-of-the-art embryology laboratory, strict quality protocols and dedicated embryologists who work on treatment cycles.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions about travelling to India for treatment? Our international patient team can help.

Ask our team
1. Can international patients get IVF treatment in India?

Yes, with respect to all Indian laws, eligibility and clinical suitability, international patients can avail IVF and other assisted reproductive treatments in India.

Femcare Fertility has a specific patient programme for international patients and claims to have helped more than 100 patients from abroad from nations such as Dubai, Eritrea and Ethiopia.

The first thing your fertility team will probably want is your medical history and previous fertility reports. Your specialist will then assess your case and share his thoughts on whether IVF or other treatment options might be suitable.

Patients from other countries should also make sure that they have the necessary travel papers and medical records in their possession before travel. The international patient information from Femcare lists documents to bring with you such as passports, visas and marriage certificates.

2. How long do I need to stay in India for IVF?

The length of the stay is dependent upon the individual patient. IVF is a complex procedure which comprises several phases such as medical evaluation, stimulation, egg monitoring, retrieval, fertilisation, embryo development, and transfer/freezing of the embryos.

The entire IVF procedure can take about 4-6 weeks, but the time spent in India will be reduced depending on your treatment plan and if any investigation or treatment steps can be done outside of India.

A second preparation cycle may be required for frozen embryo transfer. The frozen embryo transfer cycles can usually take about 3 to 4 weeks for the uterus to be prepared, according to Femcare Fertility.

In advance of your travel, your fertility specialist should give you a personalised timeline.

3. Is IVF in India safe?

IVF is a well-established ART, and India has regulations relating to ART banks and ART clinics.

The Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021 provides for regulation and supervision of ART clinics and ART banks and addresses safe and ethical ART practices.

But the safety and suitability of IVF for a particular patient will rely on his/her health, medical history, protocol followed and the quality of clinical and laboratory care.

The key factors to take into account when selecting a fertility clinic for international patients are the experience of fertility specialists, embryology expertise, the facilities, treatment protocols, the practice of infection-control procedures, transparency, and arrangements for follow-up.

As for the fertility services, Femcare Fertility offers some of the most experienced fertility experts, committed embryologists, a state-of-the-art embryology laboratory and quality procedures.

4. How much does the IVF treatment in India cost as compared to other countries?

The cost of IVF in India is generally relatively low compared to IVF treatment in other global fertility markets. The cost of IVF treatment, however, can vary dramatically from country to country, clinic to clinic and treatment plan to treatment plan and international patients should consider total treatment packages, not just the advertised IVF cycle price.

The IVF treatment cost in India for International patients is around US$2,500-US$5,000, depending on the IVF treatment and patient requirements. Depending on medications, investigations, laboratory procedures, ICSI, embryo freezing, genetic testing and donor programmes, the final amount may vary.

The total expenditure should also include a contribution by the International patient towards the cost of travel, accommodation, food, airport transfers, visa fees and time spent in India.

When comparing IVF prices, make sure to get a detailed written estimate from each clinic, and understand what is included vs. what might be an extra cost.
