IVF in India, explained before you travel

Kalyan Women's Hospital & IVF Center in Palanpur, Gujarat, offers IVF treatment in India for couples who live abroad. Many couples compare treatment costs, waiting times and language comfort across countries, and IVF in India is often part of that comparison. Travelling for fertility care is a big decision. This page explains the full path: the video consultation, the cost, the treatment steps, the length of stay and the paperwork.

Medical tourism for IVF works best when the plan is clear before the journey begins. That is why Kalyan starts with an online review of your reports instead of asking you to travel first.

Video consultation

Video Consultation with Dr Rahul Patel Before You Travel

Many couples prefer to consult an IVF specialist online before travelling to India. An online IVF consultation lets you speak with the doctor, go through your medical history and understand the likely treatment plan before you book flights or apply for a visa. It does not replace the in-person evaluation, which confirms the plan once you arrive. It does remove most of the uncertainty beforehand.

    Treatment process

    IVF Treatment Process in India: Step by Step

    Test tube baby treatment in India follows the same medical steps as IVF anywhere else. What changes for international patients is the planning around travel. A fresh cycle usually takes about three to four weeks, and the doctor confirms the schedule for your case.

    Online review and video consultation

    Your reports are reviewed, the plan is explained and the arrival date is agreed.

    Arrival and evaluation

    The doctor examines you in person, with scans and blood tests, and confirms the protocol.

    Ovarian stimulation and monitoring

    Hormone injections are given for roughly ten to fourteen days, with scans to track follicle growth.

    Egg retrieval

    A short day-care procedure under sedation. A semen sample is collected on the same day.

    Fertilisation, embryo culture and transfer

    Embryos are grown for three to five days and one is transferred. Remaining healthy embryos can be frozen.

    Return home and follow-up

    The pregnancy test is done about two weeks after transfer, and results are reviewed by video.

    Length of stay

    How Long Do You Need to Stay in India for IVF?

    The length of stay depends on the type of cycle. Dr. Rahul Patel will advise the best option during your video consultation.

    3–4 wks

    One trip, fresh cycle

    Stay for about three to four weeks to complete evaluation, stimulation, retrieval and transfer.

    2 visits

    Two trips

    Visit first for egg retrieval and embryo freezing, then return later for a shorter stay for the frozen embryo transfer.

    Shorter

    Frozen embryo transfer only

    For couples with embryos already frozen, the stay is shorter, as advised by the doctor.

    Ahmedabad airport is the usual entry point, with a road journey to Palanpur. Fertility tourism in India works best with a buffer of a few extra days in case the schedule shifts.

    Cost

    IVF Cost in India for International Patients

    IVF cost in India depends on the protocol, the medication dose, whether ICSI is needed and whether spare embryos are frozen. Instead of quoting one figure for everyone, Kalyan prepares an individual estimate after the doctor reviews your reports.

    IVF package for international patients

    Understanding IVF treatment cost in India starts with knowing what is inside the package. A typical IVF package India couples ask about includes the following:

    • Video consultation and written treatment plan
    • In-person evaluation: ultrasound, blood tests and semen analysis
    • Ovarian stimulation medication under a standard protocol
    • Scans and monitoring during stimulation
    • Egg retrieval, fertilisation (IVF or ICSI) and embryo culture
    • Embryo transfer
    • Freezing of surplus embryos
    • Coordinator support and follow-up from home

    What may cost extra

    • Additional or higher-dose medication
    • Advanced tests such as genetic screening of embryos, if recommended
    • A repeat cycle or a frozen embryo transfer cycle
    • Embryo storage beyond the included period
    • Travel, stay and visa costs

    Countries

    IVF in India for Foreigners: Patients from Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka

    The medical steps are the same for every international patient. The travel details differ by country.

    Flag of Bangladesh

    Bangladesh

    Patients from Bangladesh usually travel on an Indian medical visa. A clear treatment plan and cost estimate from the video consultation makes it easier to prepare visa documents. A spouse or relative may need a medical attendant visa.

    Flag of Nepal

    Nepal

    Nepali citizens can generally enter India without a visa, so planning focuses on the route and length of stay. Carry a valid passport or photo ID and check current entry rules before you travel.

    Flag of Sri Lanka

    Sri Lanka

    Patients from Sri Lanka usually travel on an Indian medical visa. Most travellers arrive through Ahmedabad airport and continue by road to Palanpur.

    Couples from other countries are welcome to book a video consultation to discuss their situation.

    Visa & documents
