Neelankarai centre Thiruporur clinic

What happens at Neelankarai, and what happens at Thiruporur?

Neelankarai does everything, including the lab. Thiruporur is for the visits that happen most often.

At Neelankarai you can have your first consultation, scans, blood tests, IUI, egg collection and embryo transfer, with the embryology lab in the same building. At Thiruporur you can have first consultations, follicle-tracking scans, blood tests, semen analysis, tube tests, IUI, pregnancy tests and IVF follow-ups. Both centres share one file, so you do not repeat your story.

Honest note

Thiruporur is a clinic, not a hospital. It has no theatre and no lab for egg collection or embryo transfer. If you need IVF, those steps happen at Neelankarai.

IVF IUI Our lab

What should I look for in a fertility clinic if I live in Adyar or on OMR?

The same things you would check anywhere: who is tested, where the lab is, what is in writing, and whether the clinic is registered.

Both partners should be tested before IVF is suggested, including a semen analysis. The embryology lab should be on site, so eggs and embryos are not moved between buildings. You should get a written plan that says what happens at each step and when to reconsider. And the clinic should be registered under the ART (Regulation) Act 2021, which you can check on the national registry. Jananam is registered as an ART Level 2 clinic, ART/CHE/121/2023.

How to check any fertility clinic in Chennai

Is it worth choosing a clinic just because it is close?

Closeness helps, because treatment means many visits. But it should not decide the matter on its own.

IVF involves repeated scans over about two weeks, so a clinic you can reach easily makes life simpler. Even so, the checks in the section above matter more than a few kilometres. If a clinic nearer to you answers them better, go there. If you are comparing, ask each one the same questions and compare the written answers.

How do we start, and what does it cost?

Start with a first consultation. We look at both partners' history and tests, then give you a written plan.

Bring any earlier reports. Prices for each step are on our cost page, so we do not repeat them here.
