Four days after sending my letter requesting the IVF cost, IVF success rate and IVF procedure atthe Miracle Advanced Reproduction & Research Centre in India I reeived the following reply and a request that I telephone for more information and a general chat about my situation. I have added the US$ costs in red.
I did speak with Mr. Kini on the telephone for some time and had a very informative chat about the options that are open to me. The one thing that I liked very much was that he did not dismiss the possibility that I may be able to conceive with my own eggs – at my age many clinics seem to be saying that I will need donor eggs – but he did say that it would be dependant on the test results. I must admit that this made me feel like an individual and not an “age”! He also said that there were some techniques for improving the quality of the eggs that cannot be done in the UK yet.
This clinic does not have a website but their email address is miracleivf@gmail.com.
Although this is not as cheap as some of the Indian Clinics, Mr. Kini does have a lot of experience and has practised in the West, and he treats you as an individual. This is a clinic we will be considering further on my shortlist.
Thank you for your email.
Let me introduce myself. I am the lead clinician for the clinic. I have over 26 years infertility experience both in the UK and aborad. I worked initially with Mr. Patrick Steptoe and Prof. Bob Edwards of Bourn Hall in Cambridge. I live in the UK and just this month we started the IVf unit in Chennai ( Madras) in Southern Indian State of Tamilnadu. I work from time to time at one of the London clinics in Harley Street. But having got fed up with the red tape and regulations here in the UK I started the clinic in India.

I will try to answer some of your questions:
Our treatment success at age 43 is between 5-10% depending on your baseline FSH levels. If you have done day 2-3 FSH and E2 please let me know.
We anticipate to do around 200 cycles in the first year in India. We also had a unit in Saudi Arabia where we were doing 250-275 cycles per year.
We treat up to the age of 45 once again depending on your hormones.We will explain to you the chances of success before starting any treatment. As far as you know where you stand then it is ok to start.
If you have high FSH then donor egg is the only solution.
We can transfer up to three embryos epending on how many are available and the quality of embryos. We normally transfer n day 2 or 3.
The basic cost is £2000 (approx. US$3,430) per cycle + cost of medication (on the telephone Mr. Kini indicated that this would be approx. £800 – £900, that is US$1,375 – US$1,550) which is all avaiable in India. + cost of flights for you and your partner+ accomodation.
If the cycle is abandoned we charge £ 500 (approx. US$860)
We programme all the cycles with hormones so that you know when to come there and when to start the treatment. Average stay should be 3-4 weeks.
We can arrange hotel accomodation. There are decent hotels very near to the centre. It costs Rs 3600-4600 (approx. US$75 – US$97) per day + food. One £ =Rs80 exchange rate
I hope I have given you some idea now. I am looking forward to talking to you this evening.
