Questions & answers

The things families ask us most

Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is always happy to talk it through.

IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) is a fertility treatment where eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory; a resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus to grow into a pregnancy. It is the most effective assisted-reproduction treatment and helps with blocked tubes, low sperm count, ovulation disorders, endometriosis, age-related decline and unexplained infertility.

Shobha IVF (Shobha Nursing Home) is among the most established and trusted IVF centres in Solapur — caring for families since 1998, with an Indo-German IVF collaboration, more than 6,000 babies born and over 10,000 couples helped to conceive. As one long-standing local institution (not a multi-city chain), care is consistent and personal.

The cost depends on the treatment plan, medication, and whether procedures such as ICSI or embryo freezing are needed, so it varies from couple to couple. We believe in transparent, honest costing — book a consultation and we'll explain the exact, personalised cost up front with no hidden charges.

We publish two audited figures, both measured per embryo transfer at our Solapur centre: a 90.6% beta-hCG positive (pregnancy-test) rate — the same metric large national IVF chains advertise — and a ~72% live-birth (take-home baby) rate, on a basis of around 6,000 IVF babies. A positive pregnancy test comes first and only a share carry through to a live birth, so the live-birth rate is always the lower of the two. Both depend heavily on the woman's age and the underlying cause, so your specialist gives you a realistic, personalised estimate; no result is guaranteed.

Approximately 72% per embryo transfer — a take-home baby — measured at our Solapur centre on a basis of around 6,000 IVF babies. Live birth is the hardest, most meaningful endpoint, and most IVF chains do not publish it. It is always lower than our 90.6% beta-hCG positive (pregnancy-test) rate, because a positive test is an earlier milestone than a birth. Live-birth rates depend strongly on age and diagnosis, so your specialist will give you a personalised estimate; no outcome is guaranteed.

Shobha has provided fertility and women's care in Solapur for over 25 years (since 1998), moving to a 7-storey ultra-modern building in 2007. The team has helped more than 10,000 couples conceive and over 6,000 babies be born, led by founder Dr. Milind B. Patil (MD, DNB, MNAMS). As one of the region's highest-volume IVF centres — performing around 110 IVF cycles every month — the team brings deep, continually-current expertise.

We are at 128, Murarji Peth, Opposite Seva Sadan School, Solapur 413001, Maharashtra, India. We are a single, well-established Solapur institution — not a multi-city chain.

We offer IVF, ICSI and IUI, along with male infertility treatment, fertility preservation (embryo freezing, blastocyst culture, laser-assisted hatching and PICSI), female fertility evaluation, and third-party reproduction including egg, sperm and embryo donation and gestational surrogacy.

We have cared for families in Solapur since 1998, with world-class IVF brought to the city through an Indo-German international joint venture. More than 6,000 babies have been born and over 10,000 couples have conceived through our care.
