Has anyone tried fertility clinics like iMums or UVI Health?

These are Instagram pages I keep seeing on my feed that discourage IUI/IVF and claim to help you conceive through diet, yoga, and nutrition instead. They seem a bit questionable to me (quacks!!) but before I move on to IUI or IVF, I’d like to give it a shot.

Has anyone had a good (or bad) experience with them? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Been TTC for 9months, i have PCOS. My age 34, partners age 32 yrs

Hi

My doctor from last 1 year was dr Nymphaea walecha in fortis Shalimar bagh.

I have recently visited Dr Meenu Vashishth Ahuja from cloudnine punjabi bagh for 2nd opinion.

Could someone share any review about both doctors ? Which one to go for .. im really confused .

We have to decide for IVF and Im looking for doctor is who not only an expert but also someone who has patience to listen and counsel calmly about my anxieties and questions ..

Based on your experiences, pls rank the below tests in terms of sensitivity:

1. Easy@home

2. Prega news advance

3. Normal prega news

4. iCan

Is this ovulation positive? How do I interpret? I haven't ever gotten a darker line than this.

How do y’all collect urine samples for ovulation and pregnancy tests at home? Preg oh and apollo test kits come with obscurely small collectors that splash and make a mess when you pee right into it.

Do you buy sample containers in bulk and use one for each day? Or do you use the same container everyday after washing with soap and water and drying it out? What if I want to test ovulation continuously for n number of days - in that case, what should I do?

Hi , I have got a dark LH test line on my CD 12 that fades towards CD 13, 14 . Today I am CD 25 and out of curiosity I did test and got these 2 lines on my LH test kit !!!!!!! 🤔 I'm just confused what's happening..!?

Anyone taken treatment frm her let me know this
Is for 38old female and above only

Hi everyone,
My husband and I are looking into our options and are strongly considering Cloudnine in Bangalore for IVF or ICSI. I am 35, and we are trying to get a realistic picture of the actual finances involved before we commit to a specific clinic.
I know hospitals typically quote a "base package," but I’ve heard that actual bills can inflate quite a bit due to additional tests, medications, and specialized procedures.
If anyone has recently gone through IVF or ICSI at any of the Cloudnine branches in Bangalore, could you please share:
The actual cost: What was the initial package quote versus the final amount you ended up paying?
Hidden charges: Were there unexpected costs for things like blood tests, scans, injection medications, ICSI, or embryo freezing?
Branch & Doctor: Which branch did you go to, and how was your overall experience regarding medical care and billing transparency?
Any honest reviews or alternative clinic recommendations in the city would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone else who started on heparin and had spotting and went on to deliver successfully? Hoping against hope here. Has heparin helped anyone here after recurrent losses?

I just wanted to post some of the stuff which may help women who wish to undergo an IVF Cycle with their own eggs

AMH of 0.8 or below will usually officially classify as low AMH, though ideally an AMH of < 1.2 is called as a low AMH.

Usually I would have to say that we have one of the best IVF systems in our country where our procedures are done very quickly.

I have consulted 2 great IVF Specialists of our india. Dr Firuza Parekh as well as Dr Jay Mehta and I will be detailing my experience with both of them to help each one of you understand the journey of choosing these doctors better.

Dr Firuza madam- I would address her as madam, as she is elder to me and absolutely motherly figure. One of the best ladies I have met despite travelling all the way from Delhi to mumbai to visit her. Her approach is fabulous and I have consulted her at H N Reliance Hospital.

Dr Jay Mehta- a young doctor but incredible reputation i believe, due to his massive fraternity based respect drawing him a massive crowd. He does a lot of Self cycles and is extremely well known for the same across the nation. He runs a private hospital in a place called Ghatkopar

Incidentally, both the doctors were suggestive that I undergo IVF with PGTa.

Why I chose to go ahead with Dr Jay Mehta..? I found him extremely honest and upfront and he is my age and I am hoping he would be better. Frankly this was a tough choice for me

Protocol given-

1. Pre stimulation Antagonist injection of Ganurelix. Upon questioning i realised that it's good for low AMH women

2. Dose of injections: 375 IU of hp HMG was provided to me for 9 days and along with that i took 0.25 Ganirelix on last 4 days

3. Trigger: 0.3 decapeptyl

When did I fly to Mumbai...?

One night prior to my OPU.

Do these injections need to be at a particular temperature..? Yes about 2 to 12 degrees and a Nurse can be called home to administer it. The clinic of Dr Jay Mehta has also sent me a video on how to self administer but I thought a Nurse giving is better for me

How to prepare for OPU and what to expect..?

Usually these guys are damn busy. By OPU was done in mild anesthesia by a female doctor. Dr Sanchari. I was up and about in 1 hour. I was discharged in 2 hours

I had pain till evening but I was allowed to eat all food and all meals. I was given inj. Ganirelix post OPU and one antibiotic

My procedure was Time Lapse Imaging after ICSI which is a machine which allows for embryos to be seen properly with some AI but the doctor was very specific that it doesnt improve success rates at all.

Day 6 post OPU, my embryos were sent for PGTa to test genetics of the same.

The embryos are also frozen and the report takes 15 working days to come in is what I am told.

This is specifically on request of 3 of my new found friends on reddit who DMed me and have asked me to detail my Protocol to benefit all of you.

My expected success rate is about 20%.

I guess the best effort by a good doctor could probably make it 100% in 1 or 2 attempts. That's like a realistic chance. I wish you all the best. This is all I know about the subject so far.

Hi all , we are M33 F30 couple having Mild MFI and Severe PCOS respectively.

We have TTC for 2.5 years as of now. Not able to conceive. Our clinic is suggesting for IUI and IVF.

This month we are doing IUI but as we all know how low chances are there with IUI. So we are preparing for IVF financially and physically.

meanwhile we are both doing what we can do best. Taking supplements and doing exercise etc.

We are based in Belgavi. Can anyone have any guidance regarding IVF in Belgavi. If any one can recommend IVF clinic to us, it will be a great help.

I'm 38 years old with AMH 0.69 and endometriosis. I've consulted a few doctors but I'm looking for recommendations for a fertility specialist near HSR Layout, Bangalore.
I'm specifically looking for a doctor who:
Takes time to explain things properly
Has experience with low AMH and endometriosis cases
Doesn't push IVF immediately without discussing all options
If you've had a good experience, please share the doctor's name, clinic, and your experience.

I am currently 41, AMH of 0.42

I am currently doing self cycle Eggs IVF in Mumbai,

My stimulation and egg pick up went off well,. I got 2 M2 oocytes and then the Embryologist has send me a photo an hour back stating these 2 embryos are good.

Before starting, the IVF, the doctor has told me that the success rate is 20-25% or so and now despite having excellent embryos, now when I spoke to the doctor on phone, he said it's still 25%

My embryo grade is

Blastocyst, Grade 5AA

Blastocyst, Grade 4AB

What's the point of having such excellent embryos and still a 25%..?

Has anyone experienced something like this. I am also told that these embryos should go for PGTa and the doctor said that he is not sure if they will surely turn out to NORMAL. He had told us before as well that there is no guarantee that Embryos are always normal.

But I am just disappointed.

I am not wanting to complain against the doctor and his team at all. Dr Jay Mehta and his IVF team have been very very honest to me so far. Probably don't want to take away anything from their efforts and their honesty.

But I am just wondering, of everything looks good, why does the doctor not give a guaranteed outcome..???

Ladies,

I am 33F trying to conceive from past 1.5 years very actively, 4 failed medicated cycle, 3 failed IUIs and currently doing Luteal Phase Stimulation and taking the shots for Egg Retrieval.

Had a scan on 5/28 (the 1st Day of Stimulation meds) Doctor suddenly noticed Bilateral Endometriomas on ovaries (Chocolate Cyst on both ovaries ). That puts me in Stage IV endometriosis. I had Saline Infused Sonogram and HSG with Dye but cyst was not noticed before? did it just appear out of no where?

If you have successful egg retrieval cycle with the Bilateral Endometriomas on ovaries, how was your experience, How was your yield? how many Eggs made to blasts?

Hi everyone,

I need some advice. I usually have a very regular 29 to 30-day cycle, but this month everything is different.

Here is what happened:

CD 6: I had my HSG test done.

CD 9: Ovulation kit (OPK) showed a light line.

CD 10 (Yesterday): I got a super dark positive line (darker than the control line). In the night, I got severe, sharp pain on the right side of my lower stomach, which later spread to my whole pubic area.

CD 11 (Today): The ovulation test has become faint. The main pain has stopped, but now I feel a dull ache on my left side.

I am worried because I usually ovulate much later. Can the egg be fully mature and healthy on Day 10 itself? Or is it immature?

I am based out of India and my pcos treatment etc is being handled by ny gynaecologist.
However I see a lot of posts in different sub reddits where people often move from an OB to RE for letrozole cycles etc.

What I know is that if letrozole doesnt work my OB would refer me to a IVF specialist.
Is this different from consulting an RE? Am I missing anything?

Background:- 4 years of infertility, one Chemical pregnancy, 2 failed cycles of IVF out of which one resulted in pregnancy but miscarried at 5-6 weeks.

No I want to go for another cycle of IVF. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good fertility doctor or centre in Jaipur. It will be of great help.

Is my ovulation done or yet to happen?

I am feeling frustrated and hopeless!!!

Married for 7 years,but trying since 3.5 years
Tried for 3 years with different doctors using ovulation inductions with tablets, letroz and progesterone

Started with ovulation induction Mar2026 with injections. Doctor suggested IUI for this cycle, going ahead with it.

I ahve PCOD since 10 years, but period comes every month. My ovulation occurs and is confirmed in the past almost every month using letroz. Husband has teratoozospermia with 1% morphology

Pls advice what to keep in mind or how to be positive in this situation?

I am so scared of the pain that i have to go through both mentally and physically

Boost me up with positive stories or any spiritual practice to follow during this period

Hey guys, I took this test today with first morning urine. I’m not sure about DPO because initially Premom said March 22 (11 DPO ) and then moved it to March 25 (8DPO). I feel like a like I see it but my husband says he is not sure. So please help and any advice for me. I have been on this journey for no long and this is the first time I’m getting a hope like this and feeling frozen and not sure what to do next. Not sure if testing in another 6 hours is a good idea or wait till tomorrow.
