Infertility, IUI & IVF Support
What is Infertility, IUI & IVF Support?
Infertility is medically defined as the inability to conceive naturally after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or after 6 months for women over 35). Modern reproductive medicine offers a tiered spectrum of solutions, beginning with ovulation tracking and minimally invasive Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), extending to advanced In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) support when indicated.
At Dr. Deepika Lalwani (Nagwani)'s Clinic in New Kalyani Nagar & Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we believe in a thoughtful, stepwise approach to fertility care. Led by Dr. Deepika Lalwani (MBBS, DGO Mumbai) with over 10+ years of dedicated clinical experience, we prioritize identifying the precise root cause—whether anovulation, PCOS, tubal factors, or male parameters—before recommending treatment.
We avoid jumping prematurely to aggressive or costly procedures. Instead, we empower couples with clear diagnostic clarity, transparent treatment timelines, and compassionate one-on-one medical supervision at every cycle.
When Should You Seek Female Fertility Evaluation?
Irregular or Anovulatory Cycles
Infrequent or absent menstruation, commonly driven by PCOS or hormonal imbalances, which makes calculating fertile windows challenging without medical guidance.
Endometriosis & Uterine Fibroids
Structural or inflammatory pelvic conditions that impair egg release, distort fallopian architecture, or reduce endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation.
Diminished Ovarian Reserve (Low AMH)
Age-related follicular decline or low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels requiring time-sensitive ovarian stimulation and proactive reproductive planning.
Recurrent Early Pregnancy Loss
Multiple miscarriages warranting thorough immunological, thrombophilia, uterine anatomical, and chromosomal evaluations before the next conception.
IUI vs. IVF: Understanding Your Treatment Options
Understanding the mechanical, financial, and procedural differences between IUI and IVF helps you plan your fertility journey with clarity.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Minimally Invasive • Natural Fertilization
Concentrated, washed motile sperm is placed directly inside the uterine cavity.
Occurs biologically inside the woman's natural fallopian tubes.
Zero anesthesia needed; feels similar to a routine 5-minute pelvic exam.
Mild male factor, cervical mucus hostility, PCOS anovulation, unexplained infertility.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Advanced Embryology • High Precision
Eggs are retrieved from ovaries, fertilized in an embryology lab, and transferred as embryos.
Occurs in vitro in a state-of-the-art incubation chamber (ICSI / standard IVF).
Requires short sedation for ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval.
Bilateral tubal blockage, severe male factor (low count/motility), low AMH, failed IUI cycles.
Our Comprehensive Fertility Services
We provide individualized reproductive support tailored to your unique hormonal, tubal, and metabolic profile.
Ovulation Induction & Follicular Tracking
Using safe oral agents (Letrozole, Clomiphene) or gonadotropins paired with serial transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) scans to monitor follicle growth and pinpoint the exact rupture window.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
A gentle outpatient procedure where high-motility washed sperm is placed directly into the uterine cavity during peak ovulation, bypassing cervical barriers to enhance natural fertilization.
Pre & Post-IVF Medical Support
Endometrial priming, luteal phase hormonal support, and diagnostic tubal patency checks (HSG/HyCoSy) designed to maximize embryo implantation success for couples undergoing IVF.
Your Fertility Treatment Journey Step-by-Step
A structured, ultrasound-guided clinical roadmap designed to optimize follicular growth and maximize conception rates.
Every treatment and procedure at our clinic is performed with the highest standards of safety, compassion, and clinical expertise. Dr. Deepika Lalwani ensures each step of your journey is carefully monitored and optimized for the best possible outcomes.
Expert Guidance
From your initial consultation through recovery, our dedicated team is here to support you with personalized care, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind at every stage.
Step 1: Baseline Reproductive & Hormonal Evaluation
Comprehensive evaluation of ovarian reserve (AMH, Day 2 FSH/LH), semen analysis parameters, thyroid levels, and pelvic ultrasound to identify root causes.
Step 2: Controlled Ovarian Stimulation
Customized low-dose fertility medications prescribed to stimulate the maturation of 1 to 2 dominant follicles without risking hyperstimulation.
Step 3: High-Resolution Follicular Tracking
Serial ultrasound scans monitor follicular diameter, endometrial lining thickness (triple-line pattern), and pelvic blood perfusion.
Step 4: Timed Insemination (IUI) & Luteal Support
Triggering ovulation with hCG and performing precise, painless intrauterine insemination, followed by natural progesterone support to aid implantation.
Preparing for Your Fertility Treatment Cycle
Optimizing reproductive cell quality through balanced lifestyle modifications significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Follicular Monitoring
Digital ultrasound tracking precisely detects egg maturation to time insemination for maximum success.
Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition
Consuming antioxidant-dense foods, Mediterranean-style whole grains, and healthy fats to support oocyte and sperm cellular health.
Targeted Fertility Micronutrients
Taking CoQ10, Active Methylfolate, Vitamin D3, and Inositol under Dr. Deepika Lalwani's clinical guidance.
Endocrine & Metabolic Harmony
Stabilizing fasting insulin and thyroid markers (TSH < 2.5 mIU/L) to establish an optimal reproductive environment.
Stress Reduction & Gentle Yoga
Practicing restorative breathwork and pelvic mobility yoga to reduce cortisol levels that interfere with the HPO axis.
Open Consultation & Care Plan
Transparent discussions regarding treatment timelines, success parameters, and gradual step-up approaches without rush.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Pune, an initial fertility evaluation and consultation with Dr. Deepika Lalwani is ₹700 to ₹1,000. An Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) cycle—including ovarian stimulation monitoring, follicular tracking ultrasound scans, sperm preparation/washing, and in-clinic catheter insemination—ranges from ₹10,000 to ₹18,000 per cycle. For advanced cases requiring IVF/ICSI, standard treatment cycles in premier Pune partner fertility centres range from ₹1,20,000 to ₹1,80,000 (excluding individualized hormonal medications).
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a minimally invasive, low-cost procedure where processed sperm is placed directly inside the uterus, allowing fertilization to occur naturally within the fallopian tubes. In contrast, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) involves surgical egg retrieval, fertilization in an embryology laboratory, and transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus.
No. The IUI procedure is virtually painless, takes only 5 to 10 minutes in our clinic, and does not require any anesthesia. Most women describe the sensation as similar to a routine pelvic exam or Pap smear.
The average success rate of IUI ranges from 15% to 20% per cycle, depending on maternal age, ovarian reserve, tubal health, and sperm parameters. Doctors generally recommend 3 to 4 well-timed IUI cycles before considering advanced ART/IVF.
PCOS causes irregular or absent ovulation due to hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance. Under Dr. Deepika Lalwani's care, PCOS-related fertility challenges are treated with lifestyle modifications, insulin sensitizers, low-dose ovulation induction (Letrozole), and precise ultrasound follicular tracking.
Initial evaluations include Day 2/3 hormonal profiling, Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test, thyroid and prolactin checks, comprehensive Semen Analysis for the partner, pelvic baseline ultrasound, and a tubal patency evaluation (HSG or HyCoSy).
