IVF Treatment in Pune - Personalised, Evidence-Based Care at Femcare Fertility, Kalyani Nagar

In vitro fertilisation, or IVF, is no longer the last resort it once was. For couples dealing with blocked fallopian tubes, severe endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, failed IUI cycles, or unexplained infertility, IVF is often the most direct and effective path to pregnancy. At Femcare Fertility in Kalyani Nagar, Pune, Dr. Sayali Chavan Shitole offers IVF protocols designed around each couple's unique circumstances - not a generic stimulation plan pulled from a textbook.

What Is IVF and How Does It Work?

IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries, fertilising them with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment, culturing the resulting embryos for 3-5 days and then transferring the best-quality embryo into the uterus. The process is guided by a series of hormone injections that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs in a single cycle.

At Femcare Fertility, every IVF cycle begins with a baseline assessment:
  • Day 2-3 blood tests: FSH, LH, AMH and oestradiol to evaluate ovarian reserve
  • Antral follicle count (AFC) via transvaginal ultrasound
  • Semen analysis and, if indicated, sperm DNA fragmentation testing
  • Uterine cavity assessment via hysteroscopy or saline sonogram, if required

Step-by-Step IVF Process at Femcare Fertility

Step 1 - Ovarian Stimulation

Dr. Sayali prescribes a hormone injection protocol (antagonist or long protocol) based on your AMH and AFC. You will attend the clinic every 2-3 days for ultrasound monitoring and blood tests to track follicle growth and adjust doses in real time.

Step 2 - Trigger and Egg Retrieval

Once follicles reach the target size, a trigger injection (hCG or GnRH agonist) is given. Egg retrieval is scheduled 34-36 hours later. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes under light sedation and is well tolerated by most patients.

Step 3 - Fertilisation in the Laboratory

Retrieved eggs are assessed for maturity and fertilised using either conventional IVF (sperm placed with egg in a dish) or ICSI (single sperm injected into the egg). Fertilisation is confirmed at 18 hours.

Step 4 - Embryo Culture and Grading

Embryos are cultured for 3-5 days. On Day 3, each embryo receives a grade based on cell number and appearance. On Day 5, blastocyst stage embryos are graded using the Gardner system. Dr. Sayali selects the embryo with the highest implantation potential.

Step 5 - Embryo Transfer

The embryo transfer is a simple, painless procedure - no anaesthesia is needed. A thin catheter places the embryo into the uterine cavity under ultrasound guidance. You rest for a short period and then go home.

Step 6 - Two-Week Wait and Pregnancy Test

A serum beta-hCG test is performed 14 days after the transfer to confirm pregnancy. Dr. Sayali and her team are available throughout this period to answer questions and provide support.

Who Is a Good Candidate for IVF in Pune?

Bilateral tubal blockage confirmed by HSG or laparoscopy

Endometriosis affecting the tubes or ovaries

Unexplained infertility after 1-2 years of trying

Three or more failed IUI cycles

Low ovarian reserve (low AMH, low AFC)

Recurrent implantation failure from previous cycles

Couples requiring PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) due to genetic conditions

IVF Success Rate at Femcare Fertility

IVF success depends primarily on the woman's age and embryo quality. Broadly, success rates per cycle are higher for women under 35. Dr. Sayali provides each couple with an individualised estimate based on their specific diagnosis, not national averages. She also explains clearly what a 'success rate' means - some clinics count a positive blood test as a success; Dr. Sayali counts an ongoing clinical pregnancy.

IVF costs in Pune vary depending on the protocol, number of cycles and whether add-ons like ICSI, embryo freezing, or genetic testing are needed. At your consultation (₹500), Dr. Sayali will outline a complete cost breakdown so there are no surprises after treatment begins.

Many couples achieve success within 1-3 cycles. The exact number depends on age, diagnosis and embryo quality. Dr. Sayali will counsel you honestly on cumulative success rates after reviewing your results, so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed.

The hormone injections can cause mild bloating and discomfort as the ovaries enlarge. Egg retrieval is done under sedation and is not painful. Most patients manage day-to-day activities throughout the stimulation phase with minor adjustments.

Yes, but extra care is taken. Women with PCOS are at higher risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). Dr. Sayali uses a modified stimulation protocol and may recommend a freeze-all strategy - freezing all embryos and transferring in a subsequent cycle - to reduce this risk.

In standard IVF, sperm are placed near the egg and fertilisation happens naturally. In ICSI, one selected sperm is injected directly into the egg. ICSI is used when sperm quality is poor, or when previous IVF cycles had low fertilisation rates.

From the start of stimulation injections to the pregnancy test result is typically 4-5 weeks. Adding initial consultations and investigations, most patients from first visit to embryo transfer take 6-8 weeks total.
