What you should expect from us, whether you live next door or travel in:
Direct care from Dr Rhythm Gupta
Every treatment plan is personally reviewed and led, with continuity from initial workup to embryo transfer. No handoffs between team members at key decision points.
A complete fertility service under one roof
Full diagnostics, IUI, IVF, ICSI, advanced sperm and embryo selection, fertility-enhancing surgery and fertility preservation, all on-site rather than spread across referrals.
International-standard embryology lab
Cleanroom culture environment, vitrification, laser-assisted hatching, careful blastocyst grading by our senior embryologist. The quality of the lab matters as much as the clinical plan.
Evidence-based, not protocol-by-default
We recommend what the published evidence supports for your specific picture, including when the right answer is ovulation induction, IUI, or simply timed natural attempts rather than going straight to IVF.
Transparent pricing
Itemised estimates before any cycle starts, no hidden charges, EMI options where useful.
Conditions We Treat
Fertility difficulty affects both partners roughly equally. We provide comprehensive infertility treatment in Shalimar Bagh for the full range of male and female conditions, with personalised plans based on accurate diagnosis.
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
The single most common cause of female fertility difficulty in India, affecting nearly 1 in 5 women of reproductive age. Treatable in most cases with the right combination of lifestyle and ovulation induction.
Endometriosis
Where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside it. Managed medically or surgically depending on severity.
Low AMH and diminished ovarian reserve
Which often needs careful interpretation. Low AMH does not always mean low natural fertility, but it is a planning signal worth acting on.
Blocked fallopian tubes
Ranging from mild proximal blockages (often treatable with recanalisation) to severe bilateral hydrosalpinx (where IVF after salpingectomy is usually the right route).
Ovulation disorders
Which often respond well to ovulation induction with follicle monitoring
Fibroids and uterine factors
Assessed with ultrasound and hysteroscopy where indicated
Recurrent miscarriage
which often has identifiable, treatable causes when investigated properly.
Low sperm count
(oligospermia), graded mild, moderate or severe. Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes to surgery or ICSI depending on severity.
Poor sperm motility
where sperm are present but do not swim well. Modern sperm selection techniques often make conception possible even at low motility.
Azoospermia
(no sperm in the ejaculate), where retrieval techniques like TESA, TESE or micro-TESE often recover viable sperm for ICSI.
Varicocele
A treatable cause of male infertility present in around 30 to 35% of men with primary male-factor infertility.
Sperm DNA fragmentation
A quality marker that often explains otherwise unexplained IVF failure and miscarriage.
Erectile / Ejaculatory dysfunction
managed sensitively as part of the full male fertility workup.
Accurate Fertility Testing Before Treatment
A complete diagnostic picture in the fewest possible visits, typically within 7 to 10 days of first consultation.
Female Fertility Tests
- AMH blood test for ovarian reserve assessment.
- Antral follicle count (AFC) by transvaginal ultrasound.
- Hormone profile including FSH, LH, estradiol, prolactin and thyroid markers.
- HSG (hysterosalpingography) to assess fallopian tube patency.
- Ovulation assessment with serial ultrasound monitoring where indicated.
- Pelvic ultrasound for uterine, ovarian and endometrial assessment.
Male Fertility Tests
- Semen analysis, typically repeated at 4 weeks for confirmation.
- Hormone profile including testosterone, FSH and LH where indicated.
- DNA fragmentation test for sperm quality assessment, particularly after unexplained IVF failure or miscarriage.
- Advanced sperm function tests for selected cases.

Patient Journeys We Have Walked Alongside
Below are typical patient profiles drawn from common presentations at our centre. These are composites of real-world scenarios, not specific patients, shared to illustrate what the journey can look like. Individual outcomes vary.
| A Couple from Shalimar Bagh Block AB: Unexplained Infertility After 18 Months | |
| Presenting picture | Wife, 35, working professional, married 5 years and trying to conceive for 18 months. Regular cycles, BMI 24, no significant medical history. Husband, 37, normal general health. Both attended together after multiple online searches and one inconclusive workup elsewhere. |
| Findings | AMH 1.6 ng/mL (normal for age). Antral follicle count 12. HSG showed patent tubes. Husband’s semen analysis: concentration 38 million/mL, motility 45%, morphology 4%. DNA fragmentation test elevated (32%). Diagnosis: unexplained infertility on standard workup, with an identifiable male-factor on advanced testing. |
| Treatment plan | Three IUI cycles with letrozole-based mild stimulation and washed-sperm preparation, since the DNA fragmentation finding shifted the prognosis. Lifestyle optimisation for the husband during the 90-day sperm-cycle window. If IUI does not work, move to ICSI with advanced sperm selection rather than conventional IVF. |
| What we would expect | Cumulative pregnancy rates across 3 IUI cycles in this profile are typically 25 to 35%. If ICSI follows, published live-birth rates in this age band are around 35 to 45% per cycle, with cumulative rates over 2 cycles approaching 60%. |
| Key learning | “Unexplained infertility” often becomes explained on advanced testing. DNA fragmentation is a quality marker that standard semen analysis misses, and identifying it changes the treatment plan. |
| A Couple from Shalimar Bagh Block BQ: Low AMH and Time Pressure | |
| Presenting picture | Wife, 38, married 6 years, trying for 2. Regular cycles. One earlier miscarriage at 36. BMI 23. Husband’s semen analysis normal. Came to us after being told elsewhere to “wait another year” before considering IVF. |
| Findings | AMH 0.6 ng/mL (low, meets Bologna criteria for diminished ovarian reserve). Antral follicle count 5. Day-3 FSH 11 mIU/L (mildly raised). Tubes patent on HSG. Otherwise unremarkable workup. |
| Treatment plan | Given her age, declining ovarian reserve and miscarriage history, the recommendation was IVF without further delay rather than continued natural attempts. Antagonist protocol suited to poor responders, with CoQ10 supplementation (modest published evidence of benefit), and donor egg IVF discussed early as a fallback option rather than offered now. |
| What we would expect | Live birth per cycle in this profile is typically 15 to 25%, with cumulative rates across 2 to 3 cycles in the 30 to 45% range. If those cycles do not result in pregnancy, donor egg IVF (live birth 50 to 60% per cycle) moves up the conversation. |
| Key learning | With low AMH past age 35, time is the dominant variable. “Wait another year” is rarely the right answer in this profile. Acting now preserves more options. |

Frequently Asked Questions
“Best” depends on what matters most to you, experience, ethical practice, communication, lab quality, or continuity of care. Dr Rhythm Gupta, an experienced IVF doctor in Shalimar Bagh and fertility specialist in Shalimar Bagh, leads Excel IVF at GNH Excel Hospital in Shalimar Bagh East, with 15+ years of experience including complex infertility, recurrent IVF failure, and poor ovarian response. The right approach is to consult more than one specialist, ask about their reasoning, and choose the one whose recommendations are evidence-based and tailored to you rather than driven by default protocols.
Our pricing as an infertility clinic in Shalimar Bagh is uniform: the same for all patients regardless of area. Actual cost depends on the IVF protocol, medication doses, and any optional add-ons such as PGT-A or advanced sperm selection.
