Surgical techniques
Minimally invasive
IVF with ICSI
A single sperm is injected into each mature egg; eggs are collected by an ultrasound-guided needle under sedation.
Non-surgical
Frozen embryo transfer (FET)
Embryos are frozen and transferred in a later prepared cycle, which some patients do at home.
How an IVF-ICSI cycle works
Medicines stimulate the ovaries to produce several eggs, which are collected with a fine needle under ultrasound guidance. In the laboratory, an embryologist injects a single sperm into each mature egg (ICSI). The best embryo is transferred to the uterus a few days later, and others can be frozen.
Indian law on assisted reproduction
IVF in India is regulated by the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, which requires clinics to be registered and sets age limits and rules for donor gametes. Surrogacy is not available to foreign nationals.
What to send for an estimate
Send AMH and day-2/3 hormone results, a pelvic ultrasound (antral follicle count), a recent semen analysis, and details of any previous IVF cycles.
IVF is not among the listed departments of the hospitals currently profiled on this site, so your case review would include identifying an ART-registered clinic.

Frequently asked questions
Is surrogacy available to international patients in India?
No. Under India's Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, surrogacy is not available to foreign nationals. IVF for couples themselves is permitted within the ART Act's rules.
How long do I need to stay in India for one IVF cycle?
About two and a half to three weeks. Some stimulation monitoring can be started at home to shorten the stay.
What are the chances of success?
Success depends heavily on age, egg quality and the cause of infertility. The specialist gives an individual estimate after reviewing your reports; no clinic can guarantee pregnancy.
