What should international patients expect at their first Pravi Global IVF appointment?
Your pravi global ivf first appointment should help you understand what needs checking, which options may suit you and how much time to allow in Delhi. You do not need to arrive knowing whether IVF is the right treatment.
When you live abroad, medical decisions also affect leave, flights and family arrangements. Bring those concerns into the conversation. A useful consultation should leave you with a clearer next step, not pressure to start immediately.
Before you fly: ask about a remote consultation
Contact Pravi Global IVF before making non-refundable bookings. Ask whether a remote consultation is available for your situation, how to share records securely and whether both partners should attend the call.
A remote discussion can help identify missing information. It cannot replace every examination, scan or laboratory test, and a proposed treatment plan may change after an in-person assessment.
Share your ages, previous pregnancies, how long you have been trying, menstrual pattern, medical conditions and any fertility treatment history. Mention your expected travel dates and whether one partner has limited leave.
For example, if your partner can stay only a few days, ask about semen testing and whether freezing a sample could be appropriate. The doctor will decide; suitability, consent and clinic arrangements need confirmation.
Documents to prepare for your pravi global ivf first appointment
Send readable copies in advance if requested, and carry originals or accessible digital copies. Arrange reports by date. A short summary often helps more than a large folder with no order.
- Passports, contact details and relevant visa or residency documents.
- Marriage certificate or other eligibility documents, if requested after the clinic reviews your circumstances.
- Previous hormone tests, ultrasound reports, semen analyses and relevant infection screening.
- Earlier IVF records, including stimulation prescriptions, egg collection details and embryology or transfer summaries.
- Details of frozen eggs, sperm or embryos, including where they are stored.
- A list of medicines, supplements, allergies, surgeries and ongoing health conditions.
If records are not in English, ask whether translations are needed. Do not repeat every test before travelling: the doctor will decide which results remain useful and which need updating.
Indian assisted reproduction rules include age, consent and eligibility requirements. Ask the clinic to confirm what applies to your circumstances, especially for donor treatment or material stored overseas. Do not assume eligibility based only on nationality.
What may happen during the first visit?
Pravi Global IVF is at E-3, 3rd Floor, Lajpat Nagar 2, New Delhi. Confirm your appointment time, arrival instructions and accessibility needs beforehand. Allow for road delays depending on traffic.
A detailed discussion, without rushing your history
The doctor will usually review both partners’ histories and previous reports. You may be asked about periods, pregnancy losses, sexual health, surgeries and earlier treatment responses. These questions help guide care; they are not a judgement.
Tell the team if you need privacy, an interpreter or explanations in simpler English. If one partner is abroad, ask whether they can join remotely and which steps require physical attendance.
Examination and tests, if indicated
Depending on your history and cycle day, the doctor may advise an examination, pelvic ultrasound, blood tests or semen analysis. Not everyone needs the same investigations, and same-day testing should not be assumed.
A transvaginal ultrasound may be suggested to assess the uterus and ovaries. The procedure should be explained and consent obtained. Ask for preparation instructions before arriving; do not fast or change medicines unless advised.
A plan you can take away
The discussion may cover further assessment, timing intercourse, IUI, IVF or another approach. IVF is not automatically the next step. You can read about IVF treatment in Lajpat Nagar before discussing whether it fits your situation.
If sperm-related findings are relevant, the doctor may discuss ICSI treatment. It is not necessary for every patient and does not guarantee fertilisation or pregnancy.
How much time should you keep aside?
Separate the consultation trip from a treatment stay. Your pravi global ivf first appointment may clarify the plan, but it does not mean injections or an embryo transfer will begin that day.
| Stage | What to plan around |
|---|---|
| Initial assessment | Consultation, selected tests and possibly another visit to review findings. |
| Ovarian stimulation | Often around 8–14 days of injections, with repeated monitoring; individual schedules vary. |
| Egg collection | Timing depends on follicle development. Follow sedation, escort and recovery instructions. |
| Embryo transfer | May occur in the same cycle or a later cycle if embryos are frozen. |
| Pregnancy testing | Follow the clinic’s specified date and agree how results will be reviewed from abroad. |
Do not use these stages as a flight-booking calendar. A freeze-all plan, further investigation or an unexpected response can alter your stay. Ask when you may travel after a procedure and who will manage follow-up at home.
Staying near Lajpat Nagar and organising daily needs
Choose accommodation for practical comfort rather than a sightseeing schedule. During stimulation, appointments may change with scan results. Check access to the clinic depending on traffic, not just the address shown on a booking website.
- Look for flexible cancellation terms and an option to extend your stay.
- Check lift access, a private bathroom and reliable transport options.
- Ask about refrigeration only if prescribed medicines require it; follow their storage instructions.
- Arrange a companion after sedation if advised, and keep procedure days free of other commitments.
NRIs and foreign nationals may have different entry requirements. Confirm the appropriate visa with the relevant Indian mission or official visa service. Ask the clinic what supporting paperwork it can provide before purchasing tickets.
Questions to ask before agreeing to treatment
You should have space to consider the recommendation. Before leaving your pravi global ivf first appointment, ask for a written plan and an itemised estimate rather than relying on a verbal total.
- Why is this treatment recommended, and what alternatives are reasonable?
- Which tests, medicines, procedures, freezing and storage charges are included or separate?
- What could delay or cancel this cycle?
- When must each partner be present, and what consent is required?
- Who should we contact after hours, and how will overseas follow-up work?
Ask about risks, including ovarian hyperstimulation, and how embryo transfer decisions address multiple pregnancy risk. No clinic can promise a pregnancy. An individual assessment is more useful than a general success figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we have our first discussion while living abroad?
Ask about current remote consultation arrangements. Share records through the agreed secure channel, and confirm the time zone. Some decisions will still require an in-person assessment.
Do both partners need to come to Delhi together?
Not necessarily for every discussion, but testing, sample collection and consent requirements may affect attendance. Confirm each partner’s schedule before booking separate flights.
Should I book the appointment for a particular cycle day?
Tell the clinic when your last period started and whether cycles are regular. Certain assessments are cycle-dependent, but an initial discussion may be possible at another time.
Can treatment start immediately after the consultation?
Sometimes, but only if the doctor considers it appropriate and the necessary assessment, documentation and consent are complete. Avoid planning travel around an immediate start.
What if I feel unwell after returning home?
Agree on follow-up and local medical support before leaving. Severe abdominal pain, breathlessness, fainting or heavy bleeding needs urgent local assessment; do not wait for a remote reply.
To plan your visit, call +91 80091 50040 or request an appointment. Share your country of residence, available dates and existing reports so you can ask what to arrange before travelling.
