“Five years. Six IUI cycles. One laparoscopic procedure. And still no pregnancy.”
By the time this couple walked into Ayushman IVF Centre in Dwarka , they had been through more than most people realise is possible before giving up. They hadn't given up. But they were close.
She (Patient I) was 30. Her AMH was 6.4 ng/ml, which meant her ovarian reserve was good. Her husband's semen analysis came back normal. The ultrasound showed polycystic ovaries, but the uterus was healthy. Nothing in the reports explained clearly why six attempts hadn't worked and that was the question the team started with.
Rather than jumping straight into the next procedure, the first appointment with Dr. Bhavana was spent going through everything that had already been tried. What had happened in each IUI cycle. What the drilling procedure had and hadn't changed. Where the gaps were.
PCOS doesn't just affect periods. It affects how eggs grow and how the body responds to treatment. IUI can work well for some women with PCOS. But after six failed attempts, it was clear this couple needed something that gave the doctors more control over the process.
IVF with self eggs was recommended by Dr. Bhavana and her team after a full review of her case. Unlike IUI, IVF helps the doctor watch the development of the egg closely, collect the mature eggs directly, fertilise them in the lab, and choose the strongest embryo before transfer. For a PCOS pregnancy, that level of precision matters. The couple had so many questions. They got all their answers from Dr. Bhavana directly and they decided to go ahead with the procedure.
The cycle was monitored carefully at every stage by Dr.Bhavana, the fertility specialist in Dwarka, personally. Their embryo transfer went smoothly and their pregnancy test came back positive on the first attempt only. After that the scan confirmed a healthy singleton pregnancy. Five years of waiting ended the moment the pregnancy test came back positive.
Six failed IUIs don't predict what IVF will do. PCOS is not a dead end and the right infertility treatment in Dwarka starts with understanding what went wrong before, not just repeating what's been done.
At Ayushman, one of the established names for IVF treatment in Delhi, every couple gets a fresh look at their case before anything is planned. If you've been trying for a while without answers, speaking with a fertility specialist at Ayushman is a good place to start.
