1 · What IVF Actually Is
The 90-second version. What IVF can do, and what it cannot. No jargon, no marketing — just the biology.
If you have downloaded this guide, you are probably somewhere between curious and quietly scared. That is the right place to start. The version of the conversation Dr. Shafali has with patients in her OPD — in plain words, with the numbers and the questions you should walk into any IVF consult already knowing.
IVF in 2026 is not what it was 10 years ago. Success rates have climbed, side effects have softened, and India's ART Regulation Act 2021 protects patients in ways it never used to. Here is the conversation, straight.
The 90-second version. What IVF can do, and what it cannot. No jargon, no marketing — just the biology.
Strong IVF indications vs. ‘not the first step yet’. Plus the legal framework in India (ART Act 2021) and what your rights are.
Stimulation, retrieval, fertilisation, transfer, the two-week wait. What happens on each day, in plain language.
Honest live-birth-per-cycle numbers (under 35 to over 42), from SART USA, HFEA UK, and Indian Fertility Society data. What raises and lowers your odds.
The cost categories (base cycle, meds, ICSI, PGT, freezing, FET). The hidden costs. How to compare quotes across clinics fairly.
Three months of prep doubles your chances. Exact supplements + lifestyle list for both partners, plus the 10 questions to ask any clinic before signing up.

No — quite the opposite. Chapter 2 explicitly covers ‘who IVF is NOT for, at least not yet’. The guide is designed to slow you down and make sure you've asked the right questions before committing to a cycle.
