The cost of IVF treatment in India can cost anywhere between Rs.65,000 and 3,00,000, depending upon various financial and geographical factors. The cost varies in different parts of the country with leading metropolitan cities providing facilities at comparative higher rates than the cities lesser financially affluent. The cost also depends upon the level of professional expertise and the success factors of service providers. This, invariably, does not include the medicine and investigations costs involved.

The success rate of IVF in women depends upon their age factor. As per the guidelines of ICMR Bill, 2017, the upper age limit for women to get pregnant is 45 years through assisted reproductive technology. The chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy and live birth are proportionate with the advancement in age. Live birth rates and miscarriage rates are favorable in women who undergo IVF treatment between their mid 20's.

It typically takes 2-4 weeks to prepare for IVF, and the stimulation phase entails about 8-10 days of fertility shots and an egg retrieval is performed 2 days later.

You can proceed with another cycle of IVF in the month following a retrieval cycle. In the case of patients who are able to use their frozen embryos, there is no need to wait for a particular length of time. Even so, any fertility treatment can be a highly emotional experience, being so bound up with your deepest hopes and fears, and many practitioners advise that you take the amount of time for the emotional recovery time that you may need.
