'When are you giving us the good news?' For couples struggling with infertility, this is an especially difficult question because the answer is complicated, emotional and can test even the best of us. In India, nearly 27.5 million couples battle infertility daily. Around two lakh IVF cycles are done every year, and their success rate usually ranges between 30 and 35 per cent. An average couple spends around Rs 4 to 6 lakh in this journey. Couples embarking on fertility treatments go in buoyed by positive stories but are seldom prepared for the grueling mental, physical and financial challenges that lie ahead.

In her book, How to Get Pregnant with IVF: An In-depth Indian Guide to Fertility Treatments offers aspiring parents an honest account of what it means to be diagnosed as infertile, the many tests and their results, and roadblocks of the fertility process. This definitive guide lights the way for a reader who wants to know everything about IVF treatments in India.
