Choosing a clinic is a personal decision - it's a personal part of
your life that is being explored. Everything is new to you and it
is difficult to find your way through a maze of information. It is
important to feel comfortable with the choices that you make.
It is worthwhile to find out as much as you can about a clinic
before you start. Delhi IVF welcomes questions on any aspect of
infertility management and the services our clinic provides.
Following are some questions that might help you to get a clear
picture of what a clinic can do. We hope they will help you make
good choices by understanding what your minimum expectations are.

Q. What
percentage of all patients achieved pregnancy in the last twelve
months, or alternatively how many treatment cycles are required on
average, to achieve a pregnancy at your age?
The success rates of clinics vary and it is important to get up to
date information from a centre you may be considering. Success
rates depend on the skill and technology at the clinic. If you are
under 35 at over 1 in 3 couples have a baby on their first attempt
and, on average, pregnancy is achieved within 2 cycles; from one
stimulation cycle (i.e. including frozen embryo transfers) you
have a greater than 50% chance of having a baby. These success
rates are world standard.
Q. Will I have my own doctor at every stage of my treatment
and who else will be involved?
Not only is it important to think about increasing your chances of
having a baby, it is important to think of what care will be given
throughout your treatment. A successful treatment cycle could also
be one where you personally have a sense of control and where you
feel the care and attention provided to you is exactly as you
would expect. At Delhi IVF your Doctor will almost always attend
to you personally at each stage of treatment. Your nurse
coordinator will also be available for you. There will always be
nursing staff who are familiar to both of you, to your case and to
your particular needs. You will also meet the scientist who will
be working with the doctor and nurses to assure the best of
personalized care and support are yours throughout your time at
Delhi IVF.
The scientist associated with an IVF program is the person who
take special care of your embryos. One of the reasons for the high
success rates at Delhi IVF is the quality of scientific personnel
and the high scientist-to-patient ratio.
Q.
What will a treatment cycle cost?
Results should
also be taken into account when considering costs. A number of
attempts with a low chance of success will end up being more
expensive than one or two cycles with a top-rated program.
Q.
How does the clinic keep abreast of the latest technology?
Delhi IVF not only has ready access to latest technologies - it
pioneers them. Delhi IVF was the first program in Delhi with
laser-assisted hatching and clinically proven stage-specific
embryo culture medium. We are using Australia’s cook culture
medium, which is rated best in the world for improving embryos
development and blast cyst culture (growing the embryos till D-5).
