Having a child is a dream for almost every couple. But as doctor we all know that from years of meeting families that not everyone finds it easy. Some come to our clinic in tears after years of trying. Others are confused about why things aren’t working. If this sounds like you, this is not happening with one couple so basically you are not alone.
At my clinic in New Town, I’ve been working with couples from all over Kolkata. Some are in their 20s, others are in their late 30s or early 40s, and they all have the same question: “Doctor, will this ever happen for us?” The answer is yes with the right care; most couples do find a way.
Why People Trust Me
When couples come to my clinic, I don’t just look at reports and test results. I listen. Sometimes, all they need is someone to explain things properly. I don’t push anyone to start big treatments straight away. We first understand the problem, do only the necessary tests, and then decide what’s best for you.
That’s why many consider us the Best Infertility treatment in New Town—because we focus on care, not pressure.
I’ve seen families from New Town, Salt Lake, even from as far as Barrackpore come here because they hear we are patient and honest.
How We Help Couples
Infertility isn’t always about “big treatments.” For some, small changes in lifestyle and simple medicines work wonders.
For men, we do semen analysis, hormone tests, and advise on diet and habits that affect fertility. For women, we track ovulation, check for PCOS or blocked tubes, and suggest what suits their body.
If needed, we work with some of the top IVF centres near New Town, so you don’t have to run across Kolkata for advanced treatments.
Common Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
So many couples wait years thinking “it will happen naturally.” But waiting too long isn’t always the best idea.
If you notice these signs, visit a doctor:
- Trying for over a year without success (or 6 months if you’re over 35).
- Irregular periods or severe cramps.
- Past miscarriages.
- Any infections or surgeries in the reproductive organs.
Treatments That Work
At our clinic, we offer a range of options.
- Ovulation tracking and induction for women with irregular cycles.
- IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) for mild fertility problems.
- IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) for more complex cases.
- ICSI for men with very low sperm count.
- Surgeries like laparoscopy if there are blockages.
Each treatment plan is made carefully. No two couples are the same, and we don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach.
When Should Couples See a doctor?
Many couples wait and wait. They hope a baby will come. But waiting too long is not good. If you try for 1 year and no baby, go to a doctor. If the woman is 35 years or older, go in 6 months. I have seen couples who waited. Later they said, “We should have come early.” A doctor can help faster.
Why Can a Baby Not Come?
Many people think it is only a woman’s problem. But that is not true. Men and women both can have problems.
- Men may have weak sperm or less sperm.
- Women may have PCOS or blocked tubes.
Sometimes we do not find any reason. That is okay. There are still ways to help.
What Happens When You Visit First Time?
Some couples feel shy. Some are scared. But don’t worry. At the first visit, I will talk to both of you. I ask about your health and how long you tried for a baby.
We may do some small tests. For women, we check hormones. For men, we check sperm. No big treatment. Just to know what is wrong.
How Daily Life Can Affect Baby Chances
The way you live your life matters. Smoking and drinking can hurt chances. Eating bad food and no sleep is not good.
Men who keep laptops on their lap for long can hurt sperm. Women who are too thin or too fat may not have periods on time.
Eat good food. Sleep on time. Stay happy. These small things can help.
What is IVF?
Many people fear IVF. They think it hurts. But it is not scary.
- First, we give medicine to make more eggs.
- Then we take the eggs and mix with sperm in a lab.
- After 3-5 days, we put the baby seed (embryo) into the tummy.
It takes about 3-4 weeks. It does not hurt. It gives hope.
Feeling Sad is Okay
Not having a baby can make you sad. I see couples fight or cry. But don’t lose hope. Talk to your husband or wife. Share how you feel.
Some people talk to a counsellor and feel better. At my clinic, I talk to couples and give them support. You are not alone.
Is It Costly?
Many people ask me about costs upfront. Here’s an idea:
- Consultation and tests: ₹2,000–₹5,000
- IUI: ₹8,000–₹15,000 per cycle
- IVF: ₹90,000–₹2,00,000 depending on medicines and lab work
We are very clear about prices before starting so you can plan.
Is IUI Enough for Everyone?
No, IUI isn’t a magic solution. It works best for couples with mild issues. For others, IVF or ICSI may be needed. We try the simplest options first, but if those don’t work, we discuss advanced treatments.
How Long Does It Take?
This is a journey. Some couples conceive in a few months, others take longer. It depends on age, health, and the treatment chosen. I always tell my patients—be patient and trust the process.
Real People, Real Stories
There’s a couple from New Town I remember clearly. Married for 6 years, they had tried everything. After two cycles of IUI at our clinic, they conceived. Another patient with PCOS came to me worried she’d need IVF, but with just ovulation medicines and tracking, she was pregnant within three months.
Stories like these keep us motivated.
