You should consider visiting a fertility clinic if you have been trying to conceive for a year without success, or for six months if you are over 35. You may also visit earlier if you have irregular periods, known medical conditions, or past pregnancy losses. Early consultation helps identify issues sooner and saves time and stress.
No referral is required to visit our clinic. You can directly book an appointment with our fertility specialists. Many patients prefer coming on their own to understand their fertility health before taking the next step.
Your first visit focuses on understanding your medical history, lifestyle, and fertility concerns. The doctor will explain possible causes and may suggest basic tests if needed. It is usually a discussion-oriented session designed to give you clarity and direction.
Yes, we recommend both partners attend the first appointment whenever possible. Fertility involves both partners, and evaluating them together helps create a more accurate and balanced treatment plan. It also ensures all questions are addressed clearly.
If you have previous medical records, test reports, or prescriptions related to fertility, it is helpful to bring them along. However, if you do not have any reports, you can still proceed with the consultation. The doctor will guide you on what is required next.
Yes, feeling anxious or unsure is completely normal. Many couples feel overwhelmed when starting fertility care. Our team is here to support you emotionally and medically, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and confident at every step.
Still unsure? Bring the doubts.
Dr. Kavita Manchanda will go through your history and your reports, and tell you plainly what applies to you - without pushing IVF.
