To date this is certainly my favourite response to the letter I sent to IVF clinics – and it’s not just because he thinks this site is fantastic! It is so clear that Dr. Banerji really read and understood what I was asking and then took the time to answer all of my sixteen questions directly and fully. On top of that it was a fast response – the morning after I sent the email.
If you check out their website at http://www.idealfertility.com you will find some excellent information, their email address is dpankar@idealfertility.com. There are also the costs for local accomodation within 1 km of the clinic given on the website.
Since Dr. Banerji has answered my questions so directly to save you having to go between my letter and this response I have added the questions that I asked in red.
I think the big thing that has really warmed me to Dr. Banerji is that his response is full yet personal and I feel a real honesty coming through, along with a real pride in the work that they do. This clinic will certainly be on my short list!
I went through your site mentioned. It was fantastic
I am putting my heart to tell the truth of my center, so that you can help yourself or help others if you feel we are capable enough to handle the international patients.
IVF is a process needs complete transparency with the couple undergoing the treatment .There should be freindly and most informal dicussion between the doctor and the couple. I never believe in counsellor.
Its me, who the couple should believe, and has full right to watch my work. We are total in-house working team. I am a gynecologist and my wife is one of the best embryologist (a qualified pathologist). Now I am answering the questions
1. What is the current success rate for your clinic? (preferably by age as I know that the success rate will be much lower for somebody of my age)
1. Success rate : < 30 yrs. 45.2%, 30-35yrs 23% and above 35yrs. 10-12%. There are number of factors which affects success rate even in low age group
2. How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic?
2. Number of cycles per yr. 500 to 600
3. What is the maximum age that you treat?
3. We treat upto 55-60 yrs. After 38-39 we prefer egg donation.
4. Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?
4. no professional surrogacy or egg donation.
5. What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?
5. Embryo transfer policy: We do Day 5 blastocyst transfer. 2-3 maximum (as blstocysts are usually less in number), We do not do single embryo transfer. To lessen the multiple pregnancy rate, we stimulate with less drugs and get less eggs, but good quality eggs. Lesser the embryos, better the embryos and go to blastocyst. Only best embryos goes to blastocyst and then transfer them.
6. What is the basic cost of the IVF treatment?
6.Cost of IVF : US$ 2500 and ICSI US$ 3000
7. What additional costs would / could be incurred?
7. No other costs involved for the treatment (no hidden cost), lodging boarding extra.
8. What happens to the costs if the cycle has to be abandoned?
8. Cycle cancellation because of poor stimulation (less than 3 eggs) : cost of used drugs, investigation charges, our consultation fee, sonography charges are taken, rest of the money is given back (the amount is on sole descretion of the doctor, but usually it is half of the amount).
9. How long would I need to be in India for?
9. In India : you need to stay for one month – one and half month. It can be reduced if part of the treatment is started in parent country. Then we reduce the cost those drugs what couple used from our charges, but it is our cost in India.
10. Who deals with the logistics of flights and accommodation?
10. Logistics of flight and accomodation : definitety we help. In my site it is there, how to reach us. Accomodation is there and to and from airport taxi facility is there at an extra cost.
11. How is the pre-treatment carried out?
11. Preparation of treament: Usually the reports are asked first to assess the ovarian reserve, endometrial lining and semen and cycle regularity. One oral contraceptive is started form day 2 and we call them on day 17 of the cycle before finishing the OCs. Injection luprolide is started on 17th or 18th tablet of OCs. OCs finishes on 22nd day of cycle and Injection continues .After the withdrawal period of OCs, we assess the aievement of Down regulation. It is either by sonography and/or Estradiol. After that we start Actual gonoadotropins, we use highly purified Gonoadotropins ( if couple wishe for recombinant one then the cycle cost will be more), but highly purified gives same results.
12. How do I get medication?
12. Medications can be sent through courier ( but it is difficult, because of regulations), hence we tell patients to come to us for full treatment.
13. How will I be monitored?
13. Monitoring is usually by sonography. If required we do hormones.
14. How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?
14.For hyper /under stimulation: you can see the sonography screen and if required estradiol assay.
15. If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to?
15. In UK where to go : I do not know the health care facility there.
16. Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body?
16. Clinic is ISO 9001-2000 test tube baby center: JAS-ANZ.
Any thing you need extra: It is given in my web site: About Us page
Hope this will help.
If you can do an advocay campaign for indian centers to get recognised by NHS then treatment will be cheaper and faster. We are equipped with state of the art instruments of world and with worldclass disposables.
It was a long answer, but I liked your questions.

The risk of inability to conceive through cancer therapy might be higher compared to physicians and also people recognize. Nearly all women diagnosed within their Early twenties as well as 30s who would like kids sometime should be offered the actual choice of freezing their eggs or perhaps embryos, San Francisco Bay Area virility experts point out.
Me and my husband been trying for a baby. I’m 30yrs 8stone and 5ft tall. We been
Trying for 3yrs now and no luck. We decide to go to doctors for check including my husband sperm count and it came back that both of my tube are block that’s why sperm and my eggs don’t meet apart from that everything is good. I just want to know my chances getting pregnant.
Hello, I went to Dr. Anoop Gupta in New Delhi this year 2011 for an IV F and I am now having twins. When I first went there I didn’t feel that this was a bad place to be. A lot of people commented on this Clinic (test tube baby clinic) but, when I went there, yes it was a lot of people there to be seen, yes the wait is long but what doctor’s office is not! when I first saw Dr. Anoop Gupta, he was very nice and even the staff. I am black and they didn’t treat me no different. I live in California and I stayed a month and a half and there were other women there too from all over the world. In glad I picked Dr. Anoop to do my IV F and I want to thank the staff also for everything they did for me because they are the key to making this clinic a good place. Remember to be patient and open minded.
Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and congratulations on your twins.
All the best,
Sue xx

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
