Honest, transparent answers to your questions about fertility evaluations, IVF procedures, costs, and success factors—guided by Dr. Ravi Shankar and the care team at The Nest.
We recommend a consultation if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months (if under 35) or 6 months (if 35 or older). Immediate evaluation is advised if you have known irregular periods, severe menstrual pain, PCOS, prior pelvic surgeries, or known male fertility factors.
Initial evaluations typically include an ovarian reserve test (AMH blood test), a high-resolution 3D pelvic ultrasound for the female partner, and a computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) for the male partner to give you immediate baseline clarity.
In Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), processed high-quality sperm is placed inside the uterus around ovulation for natural fertilization. In In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in our embryology lab, and the resulting embryo is transferred back to the uterus.
Most steps are gentle and well-tolerated. Stimulation injections use ultra-fine needles designed for minimal discomfort. Egg retrieval is performed under short intravenous anesthesia, so you feel zero pain during the procedure and can return home the same day.
Ovarian stimulation through to egg retrieval takes approximately 10 to 14 days. If a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is planned, the embryo transfer is typically scheduled during your subsequent menstrual cycle for optimal uterine receptivity.
We maintain strict financial transparency. All diagnostic fees, laboratory procedures, medication requirements, and treatment costs are outlined in a clear, itemized format upfront with zero hidden charges.
