IVF Two Cycle Program (TCP)
IVF Two Cycle Treatment Plan in Chennai
The expected success rate of an ART (IVF / ICSI) cycle is in the range of 35% to 40%. As success rates in ART have reached a plateau, this initiative by Meenakshi gives you the opportunity of a second cycle if the first cycle does not lead to a clinical pregnancy, the Two Cycle Program.
How does the Two Cycle Program work?
If the first cycle does not lead to a clinical pregnancy, the patient can undergo a second cycle either with cryopreserved embryos or with fresh stimulation. When the patient opts for the Two Cycle Program, they get a second cycle without paying any extra procedural charges.

FAQs
Questions couples often ask
Clear, honest answers from our fertility specialists.
When should we consult a fertility specialist?
If you are under 35 and have not conceived after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse, or over 35 and have not conceived after 6 months, it is a good time to see a fertility specialist. Consult earlier if you have irregular periods, PCOS, endometriosis, previous pelvic surgery, recurrent miscarriages or a known male-factor problem.
Is infertility only a woman’s problem?
No. Male factors contribute to roughly one-third to one-half of infertility cases. That is why we evaluate both partners together, a simple semen analysis for the husband is usually one of the first tests we do.
What is the success rate of IVF at Meenakshi Fertility Centre?
Success depends mainly on the woman’s age, egg reserve, sperm quality and the cause of infertility. The expected success rate of a single IVF/ICSI cycle is generally in the range of 35 to 40%, and our cumulative success rates are among the best in Chennai. Your doctor will explain your personal chances honestly after reviewing your reports.
How much does IVF cost in Chennai?
We have designed our IVF programme to be affordable without compromising on quality. The cost depends on the treatment you need and the medicines required. Every couple receives a transparent, written estimate before starting. Ask us about our Two Cycle Program (TCP), which lets you undergo a second cycle without paying extra procedural charges.
Is IVF treatment painful?
Most of IVF is done on an out-patient basis. Daily hormone injections cause only mild discomfort. Egg collection is performed under short anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure, and embryo transfer is a simple, painless procedure similar to a pap smear.
Do you provide care after we get pregnant?
Yes. Meenakshi Fertility Centre is a unit of Meenakshi Maternity & Children’s Hospital, so your entire journey, fertility treatment, high-risk pregnancy care, delivery and a Level III NICU for your newborn, is available under one roof.
