IVF Cost at Krishna IVF Clinic, India – great information!

Two weeks after I sent my letter requesting information on the IVF cost, IVF success rate and IVF procedure at Krishna IVF Clinic in India I received the reply below.

Although this clinic will not treat me due to my age they have still replied in full and directly to my questions and there is an informative diagram which was sent to me by Dr. Raju shown after the answers. The IVF cost appears very reasonable given that there are no additions other than flights and accomodation (Dr. Raju has kindly put these into US$ for us).

thank you for mail. we regret for delay in sending the reply.

Considering your age we are not offering the treatment for such age group.

please check the attachment for our response to your questions, treatment plan and new patient form.

Couple willing to under go IVF treatment is advised to attend our clinic for preliminary investigations during 18th to 21st day of their cycle. Couple needs to plan for 2 days stay (http://krishnaivf.com/category/ivf-process/).

            Investigations like

1)      Basic preliminary blood investigations needed for IVF treatment.

Sperm freezing and counseling are carried out at the same sitting, after preliminary investigation down regulation injection (Decapeptyl) is given.

            2 weeks later woman is asked to come to the clinic to check E2 and LH hormone levels. If levels are satisfactory stimulation for ovulation will be started. Woman need to plan for 17 days stay for stimulation, Oocyte recovery and embryo transfer. Rarely she may need to stay further 2 more weeks if she develops hyper stimulation.

            For Q nos. 12, 13, 14 & 15

We prefer stimulation and monitoring under one roof (i.e at our clinic).

            During stimulation with hormonal injections woman is monitored by transvaginal ultrasonography and blood hormone levels regularly to see the progressive growth of the follicles. Woman is also prevented from under/over stimulation by this.  

 

16.  Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body?

We are registered with the Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction (ISAR) and ESHRE PGD Consortium (European society of human reproduction Pre implantation genetic diagnosis) (Center code: “103”).

  8. Comment by josephine

    kindly give me information of the cheapest ivf facility, cost and number od days to stay while there am 37YEARS AND Married 10 years doctors recommend ivf

  9. Comment by admin

    Hi Josephine,

    It is difficult to say which would be the cheapest clinic for you. Much depends on where you are located, as you need to factor in the travelling and accomodation costs. I went to Kaali Inst. in Hungary because the treatment was very reasonable, the doctor was very knowledgeable and it was cheap and easy to fly there from the UK and accomodation is well priced.

    The number of days you need to stay is dependent on the clinic, some are only a few days whilst others are up to 4 weeks.

    What area in the world were you looking at?

    All the best,
    Sue

  17. Comment by rahul

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    We (32 yrs and 29 yrs) are married since 4 years. My wife is yet to conceive.
    Initially, we tried naturally for nearly 2 years. After that my wife had a total of 12 ovulatory cycles (successful), confirmed by follicular studies (all induced with clomiphene,letrazole and hcg injections).

    During this period we did battery of investigations which revealed:

    1) On 10/09/2010:
    LH – 16.58, FSH – 15.84, PROLACTIN – 48.89, TSH – 2.73.

    2) On 01/12/2010:
    LH – 9.54, FSH – 9.50, PROLACTIN – 2.01.

    3) On 28/12/2010:
    LH – 15.35, FSH – 13.04, PROLACTIN – 0.75.

    All these investigations were on day-2 of the cycle. My wife was prescribed cabgolin after 10/09/2010; she took it 0.25mg once in a week for almost 2 months. Now, we have discontinued cabgolin.

    Thyroid profile – normal.
    Hemogram – normal.
    FBS/PPBS – normal.

    HSG is normal.

    My semen analysis is normal. (Done 5 times over this period)

    Some other investigations were done 3 months back for my wife:

    # Ovarian Antibody: Negative.
    # Inhibin-B : 61.60 pg/ml.
    # Anti-mullerian hormone: 2.11 ng/ml.
    # Prolactin : 32.25
    # FSH : 13.27
    #LH : 14.53

    Our doctor advised laparoscopy for my wife. It was done last month, which was totally normal.

    Hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy reports are normal as well.

    We kindly request you to give us positive feedback and opinion. Awaiting your reply,

    Thanking you,
    Rahul
