IVF and Fertility Treatments in Mumbai

Mumbai, known for its world-class medical care, is home to some of the most advanced IVF centres in India. These clinics attract people from all across the country—and even from abroad—because of their cutting-edge technology, experienced specialists, and compassionate care.

Choosing the right IVF clinic can make all the difference in your journey. While success rates matter, other factors like personalised attention, modern infrastructure, and emotional support are equally important. Making an informed decision helps you feel confident—and supported—every step of the way.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an IVF Centre

1. Success Rates and Reputation

An IVF centre’s success rate is one of the most important indicators of how effective their treatments are—especially across different kinds of cases. Trusted centres usually share this data openly, helping you understand your own chances better. Transparency in numbers reflects confidence and credibility.

2. Experience and Expertise of Specialists

The quality of care you receive is directly linked to the experience of the doctors and team handling your case. Fertility specialists, embryologists, and nurses with years of hands-on experience are better equipped to handle complex situations and offer the right advice at the right time. A seasoned team brings not just skill, but also reassurance and clarity when it’s needed most.

3. Range of Services and Treatments

Top IVF centres offer a wide range of fertility services, not just basic IVF. These include:

  • Follicular monitoring
  • IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
  • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
  • Donor programs (egg and sperm donation)
  • Third-party IVF
  • Surrogacy

The more options available, the easier it is for doctors to customize your treatment plan based on your unique needs—and that improves your chances of success.

Technology and Facilities

When it comes to IVF, technology plays a huge role. The best clinics in Mumbai invest heavily in the latest equipment and lab protocols to ensure both safety and accuracy.

Look for IVF centres that offer:

  • High-end incubators
  • Embryoscopes
  • Micromanipulators for ICSI
  • Lasers for embryo biopsy & assisted hatching
  • PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing)
  • Strict protocols for labeling and tracking gametes and embryos

This kind of advanced setup ensures that every step is handled with precision—minimizing risk and maximizing results.

Types of Treatments Available at the IVF Centre

1. Standard IVF and Advanced Procedures (ICSI, IMSI)

While standard IVF is widely used, many centres also offer ICSI, where a single sperm is injected into the egg, and IMSI, a more detailed version of ICSI that uses high-magnification imaging to select the best-quality sperm.

2. Supportive Fertility Treatments

Many patients may also need supportive or additional treatments such as:

  • IUI
  • Laparoscopy or hysteroscopy to treat conditions like fibroids, polyps, or endometriosis
  • Egg/sperm donation
  • Surrogacy

These treatments are often used for specific fertility challenges and can be crucial in building a successful plan.

3. Genetic Testing & Embryo Freezing

Advanced clinics also offer PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before implantation. This is particularly useful for couples with genetic disorders, previous miscarriages, or advanced maternal age.

Embryo freezing allows you to preserve healthy embryos for future use—offering flexibility and peace of mind.

Personalized Care and Emotional Support

Fertility treatment isn’t just medical—it’s deeply emotional too. The best IVF centres in Mumbai understand this and offer:

  • Personalized counseling
  • Nutrition and lifestyle guidance
  • Dedicated care coordinators to guide you through each step

Having a team that supports not just your body, but also your mental and emotional well-being, makes the journey smoother and less overwhelming.

Cost of IVF Treatment in Mumbai

IVF costs can vary depending on the clinic, type of treatment, and any additional procedures like PGT or embryo freezing.

On average, a single IVF cycle in Mumbai can range from ₹1.5 lakhs to ₹3 lakhs. Some clinics also offer:

  • Zero-interest EMI plans
  • Flexible payment options
  • Guidance on insurance coverage

Always ask for a clear breakdown of costs upfront—so you can plan with no hidden surprises.

Success Rates Based on Age & Medical History

Success rates in IVF differ based on age, medical history, and cause of infertility. For instance:

  • Women under 35 generally have higher success rates.
  • Conditions like PCOS or endometriosis can impact outcomes.
  • Male infertility also plays a key role in many cases.

The best IVF centres offer customized protocols for every patient, taking all these factors into account. Success rates in Mumbai can range anywhere between 40% to 80% per cycle, depending on these variables.

Holistic Approach & Lifestyle Support

IVF isn’t just about medicine. Your lifestyle can affect your fertility too. That’s why many top IVF clinics in Mumbai offer:

  • Yoga sessions
  • Acupuncture
  • Stress management support

These wellness programs are designed to help your body respond better to treatment—and to give you a better chance of success.

Any Queries?

What is infertility ?

If the couple has regular intercourse, does not use any contraception and still does not conceive within one year, they are said to be infertile. 80-85% of the couples conceive within one year of unprotected intercourse i.e. without the use of any contraceptive. However, the rest 15-20 % who are unable to conceive naturally are said to be infertile and these would require proper evaluation and help for getting pregnant.

Does fertility depend on age?

Yes, in a woman fertility does depend on her age. A young woman is naturally more fertile as she has more number of good quality eggs than a woman who is 35 +. Hence a woman who is 35 + should not wait for a long period for a natural conception and should seek help from a proper fertility expert. Also the chance of genetic abnormalities and medical complications like Hypertension and Diabetes increases with age.

When should a couple seek medical help for infertility?

If the woman is below 35 years and has normal menstrual periods, and the couple has tried for a conception for a year with a frequency of sexual intercourse 3-4 times a week during the fertile period and has yet not conceive, then they need to consult an Infertility expert.

How does body weight, diet & exercise affect fertility?

For increasing the chance of pregnancy, balanced body weight of the woman would be beneficial. Being obese or grossly underweight affects the maturation of eggs in the woman and hence may affect her fertility. Also, a grossly obese woman would have mechanical difficulty in having normal sexual relations. Regular, moderate exercise especially in the form of yogasanas, walking, swimming, or jogging prove beneficial for fertility. It has been observed that strenuous form of exercises for example jogging over 3 miles a day can hamper ovulation and hence may lead to decrease in fertility in the woman. Balanced and nutritious diet help increase the chances of conception and ensure proper growth of the fetus.

Is stress a major factor in infertility?

Chronic stress may interfere with the ovulation, may decrease the sexual desire and hence affect the frequency of sexual intercourse in the couple.

How would one know the cause of infertility?

A detailed history of both partners is very helpful in giving a clue to the cause of infertility. For e.g. anovulation is the cause of infertility in a woman who has irregular periods and who is also obese, blocked fallopian tubes in a woman with previous history of pelvic infection, low sperm count in a man with past history of mumps. Examination of both the partners, and getting the required investigations would give a complete picture.

What are the most stressful stages of IVF?

A natural conception is obviously what all couples desire and wish when they plan a pregnancy but when it does not happen and the couple is counselled for an IVF treatment, it creates lots of stress for them.

The most stressful part is the acceptance of the fact that IVF is the only best option for their problem. A good discussion with the doctor to understand about Human Reproduction and why IVF is the best option for them to conceive will help the couple .They should take their time to understand about what the treatment involves and always ask questions to get their doubts cleared. A session with the counsellor would definitely help. Speaking to friends and family who are knowledgeable is a good way to reduce the stress but at times it could be counterproductive especially if they only talk of the problems and are themselves not positive.

In an IVF treatment, the woman’s eggs and her partner‘s sperms are fertilised in a laboratory. To get her eggs, she needs to take hormonal Injections on a daily basis and at the same time every day. This could create some stress especially if she is in a demanding job. It is best that she confides in someone who is reliable and understands the intricacies of an IVF treatment. The best part is that these Injections are not painful as very fine needles are used and she could also self-administer it.

She needs to see her fertility specialist for the follicular tracking for about 4-5 times in a cycle. This could also be demanding and stressful. She should just take all this in her stride and not get unduly stressed. The follicular response may not be satisfactory especially in a woman with poor ovarian reserve and she could become stressed.

She could have stress on the day of egg retrieval because of the fear of pain but this is a small procedure which is done under safe anaesthesia. The procedure is done through the vagina and there are no cuts on her abdomen. This is simple and safe procedure, not painful. At times the male partner gets stressed and is unable to give his semen sample on the day of egg pickup. To avoid this problem, almost all fertility centres will freeze the semen sample beforehand as a backup.

Of course the other stressful point is to worry about the numbers and quality of eggs got at the time of pickup, the fertilization of the eggs, and the numbers of good quality embryos. All these are important form success point of view. A communication with the couple before the procedure will allay all their fears and will go a long way in taking care of the stress.

The most important step in IVF Treatment

The most important step in IVF is Embryo transfer for which the woman should relax. Generally it is done without anaesthesia. The woman‘s cooperation is so very important for favourable results.

After the embryo transfer one has to wait for about 10 days to know the results. It could be very stressful at this stage. She should try to be calm and not just keep thinking of the results. After the embryo transfer the woman has to use either progesterone vaginal tablets or Injections and the stress of finances adds to the stress of procedure.

All in all we do understand the stress that the couple undergoes for an IVF treatment cycle. Have trust in your doctor and you would definitely become a successful.

At our IVF Clinic in Mumbai and IVF centre in Navi Mumbai, we spend quite a lot of time to make you feel comfortable. Our entire support staff and our embryologist are in constant touch with the couple. We try to see that you do not have to wait for too long to see the doctor.
