IVF and fertility treatment in Goa
Heartbeats IVF has 4 fertility clinics in Goa. Our fertility specialist is Dr. Mayur Pai, MBBS, MS (Obstetrics & Gynaecology), who is in practice for 15+ years. You can consult him at our four clinics in Panjim, Margao, Mapusa and Vasco. Treatment is done here in Goa, with our own embryology laboratory and operating theatre, and most of your visits can be planned close to where you live. If you consult at our Panjim, Margao or Vasco clinic, we offer free car pickup and drop from your home to our location.
Four clinics in Goa, close to where you live
Fertility treatment is not one appointment. It is a scan every second or third day for a fortnight, injections at fixed times, and blood tests in between. Whether that is bearable has less to do with the medicine than with how far you have to drive for it.
So the practice is arranged this way. Most of your visits can be planned close to where you live, and reception plans the days with you. Two days in a whole IVF cycle need an embryology laboratory — the day the eggs are collected and the day the embryo is put back — and that laboratory, and the theatre, are our own, here in Goa. If you consult at our Panjim, Margao or Vasco clinic, we offer free pickup and drop from your home to our location, on consultation days and treatment days alike.
And on those days, your eggs are handled in our own laboratory, by our own embryologist, in a theatre nobody has to book from anyone. It is a fair question to ask any IVF centre, including us: whose laboratory will my eggs go to? Who will do the actual IVF? Do i have to travel outside Goa for the IVF?

Who we are
Heartbeats IVF is led by Dr. Mayur Pai — MBBS, MS (Obstetrics & Gynaecology), IVF specialist and laparoscopic surgeon, in practice 15 years. Our own laboratory in Goa does full IVF including ICSI, and we use single-use disposables. This ensures that our patients get good hygiene practices and this also prevents cross contamination between patients.
What we treat
IVF and ICSI
IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) means egg and sperm are brought together in our laboratory and the embryo is placed back into the womb. ICSI is a type of fertilization method used in cases of low sperm count where the sperms are too weak or too few in number to do the fertilization process naturally. ICSI means a single sperm is injected directly into an egg — used when sperm count or quality is low.
IUI
IUI (intrauterine insemination) is a simpler, less expensive step: prepared sperm is placed into the womb at the right moment in your cycle. It needs no theatre and no anaesthesia. It suits some couples and not others, and we will tell you which.
Male infertility and micro-TESE
A fertility problem lies with the husband as often as with the wife, so we test both of you. No sperm in the semen is not automatically the end — we offer micro-TESE, a search for sperm inside the testis under an operating surgical microscope.
PCOS
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a common hormone condition in which eggs are not released regularly, so periods become irregular or stop. It often responds well: weight and lifestyle work first, then tablets, injections or IVF if those are not enough. Most of it can be planned close to where you live.
High-risk pregnancy care
A pregnancy that took years to achieve deserves close watching. We look after pregnancies affected by diabetes, blood pressure, twins, previous losses or age, right through to delivery.
Why choose a Goa clinic
We are a small, local practice and we keep it personal. The honest differences:
- We are local, in four places. You can consult Dr. Mayur Pai in Panjim, Margao, Mapusa or Vasco. Scans every few days are easy when most of your visits can be planned close to where you live. And if you consult at Panjim, Margao or Vasco, we offer free car pickup and drop from your home to our location.
- Our own laboratory, our own theatre. Your eggs do not leave the building. We do not outsource our infertility treatments and we own all our machines. Also we do not have an outside embryologist or outside fertility doctor coming in for our procedures. We also don't outsource our ultrasounds or blood tests. we are fully equipped to handle all fertility treatment related diagnosis and treatments on our own.
- One named doctor. Your treatment is led by Dr. Mayur Pai, who does the consultations, scans and fertility procedures himself, so you are not passed from one person to the next. Doctor also does fertility enhancing surgeries on his own.
- OHSS prevention is a policy here. OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome) is a serious complication of fertility injections — the ovaries over-respond and the woman can become genuinely ill. Our practice is built around not causing it: careful dosing, close scanning, and a willingness to freeze embryos or cancel a cycle. A cycle postponed is not a cycle lost.
- We do not oversell. If a simpler treatment is likely to work, we will say so. If your chances are poor, we will say that too. We will not quote a figure to get you through the door, and we will not promise you a baby — nobody honestly can.

Questions couples ask us
Which is the best IVF centre in Goa?
We would rather let our work speak than call ourselves the best. Ask who will actually treat you, whether the centre owns the laboratory your eggs will go to, and how it prevents OHSS. At Heartbeats IVF, Dr. Mayur Pai treats you himself and the IVF laboratory is our own.
Do I have to travel far for treatment?
Every step of your treatment is done here in Goa, and most of your visits can be planned close to where you live. You consult Dr. Mayur Pai at whichever of our clinics suits you: Panjim, Margao, Mapusa or Vasco.
Is the pickup and drop really free?
Yes, for patients of our Panjim, Margao and Vasco clinics: there is no charge for car pickup and drop from your home to our location, on consultation days or treatment days. Tell us your date on call or WhatsApp and the pickup is arranged with it. Egg collection is done under light anaesthesia, so being driven home is the sensible way to travel in any case.
How much does IVF cost in Goa?
It depends on which treatment you need, the medicines involved, and whether embryos are frozen. IVF cost is 160000 Rupees and FET is 40000 rupees and IUI cost is 25000 which includes imported iui consumables. Ask us for a complete estimate before anything starts, and we will say when a simpler, cheaper treatment is worth trying first. See our page on IVF cost for what the bill is actually made of.
Do I need IVF, or will IUI work for me?
It depends on your age, whether your tubes are open, and your partner's semen report. IUI suits some couples; for blocked tubes or very low sperm counts, IVF or ICSI is the honest answer.
My husband's semen report says zero sperm. Is a baby still possible?
Sometimes, yes. Zero sperm in the semen does not always mean zero sperm in the testis. Micro-TESE searches testicular tissue under an operating surgical microscope; if sperm are found, they can be used for ICSI. Whether they are found depends on the cause.
Can I get pregnant if I have PCOS?
PCOS makes conceiving harder, but it does not mean you cannot conceive. Treatment usually begins with weight and lifestyle changes and tablets to help release an egg, moving to injections or IVF only if those do not work.
Is full IVF available here in Goa?
Yes.
