What to look for in an IVF doctor
Your IVF doctor guides medical decisions that affect your health, time and finances, so the choice deserves more thought than a search ranking. Useful signals are relevant qualifications and training in reproductive medicine, willingness to explain the diagnosis in plain language, an approach that tries appropriate simpler treatment first, honesty about chances and risks, and availability when you have questions during a cycle.
Meet Dr. Deepa Seth
Dr. Deepa Seth is an infertility specialist and laparoscopic surgeon at Sparsh Mother & Child Hospital & IVF Fertility Center. Her qualifications are MBBS, DGO and FRM IVF. She sees couples for fertility evaluation, IUI, IVF and ICSI planning, PCOS and endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss and keyhole gynaecological surgery. Being a surgeon as well as a fertility specialist is helpful when a condition such as a cyst, fibroid or adhesion needs to be treated before IVF.
How the first consultation works
- History: how long you have been trying, cycle pattern, previous treatment, medical conditions and lifestyle, for both partners.
- Examination and tests: a focused examination and only the tests that are needed, such as hormone profile, ultrasound and semen analysis.
- Diagnosis: the likely reasons, explained with your reports in front of you.
- Options: lifestyle guidance, ovulation induction, IUI or IVF, with benefits, limits and approximate timeline.
Bring these to your appointment
- Previous prescriptions, scans and test reports of both partners
- Details of earlier IUI or IVF cycles, if any
- Semen analysis report of the male partner
- Names of current medicines and known allergies

Timing your first visit
Consider seeing a fertility specialist after 12 months of trying, or 6 months if the woman is 35 or older, and earlier if periods are irregular or there are known problems such as PCOS, endometriosis, low sperm count or repeated miscarriage. Early advice often saves time. If PCOS is a concern, read can PCOD affect fertility?
