Learn more →Frequently asked questions
A single IVF cycle at an accredited Indian clinic is commonly estimated in the region of USD 2,700–4,500, before medication and any add-on procedures. The exact figure depends on the clinic, your treatment plan, and whether donor gametes or genetic testing are involved. Always ask for a written, itemised estimate. (All figures on this site are indicative placeholders and must be verified with the clinic.)
A typical stimulation-to-transfer visit is often around two to three weeks, though this varies with your protocol. Many clinics complete the initial consultation and some monitoring remotely, so your in-person time is focused on the active phase. Frozen-embryo transfers may involve a shorter, separate visit.
Most international patients travel on an India medical visa or e-Medical Visa. Requirements and eligibility change, so confirm the current category, validity and any invitation-letter requirement with the Indian mission before booking. Nationals of some neighbouring countries may have different arrangements.
India regulates assisted reproduction under national legislation, and reputable clinics hold recognised accreditations. When comparing centres, ask about their registration, laboratory accreditation, embryology team experience, and published success rates for patients in your age group.
Yes. English is widely used in Indian medical settings, and accredited fertility centres typically deliver consultations, consent and reports in English. Interpreter support for other languages can often be arranged on request.
Usually, yes. Most clinics offer a video consultation and review of your history and investigations in advance, so that your travel dates are planned around the treatment window rather than paperwork.
