His clinical practice includes fertility evaluation, IVF and ICSI, with experience in complex infertility cases including low AMH, endometriosis, PCOD/PCOS, recurrent miscarriage, repeated IVF failure and severe male infertility, as well as reproductive surgery.

About Dr. Pranay Shah
Dr. Pranay Shah is a fertility specialist and reproductive medicine consultant based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. At Wellspring IVF & Women’s Hospital, he manages patients across the fertility-care pathway, from initial evaluation and treatment planning to IVF, ICSI, embryo transfer and reproductive surgery.
His particular clinical interest is the management of complex infertility, including low AMH and poor ovarian reserve, endometriosis, PCOD/PCOS, recurrent miscarriage, repeated IVF failure, recurrent implantation failure and severe male-factor infertility.
For patients seeking a fertility specialist in Ahmedabad, his practice is centred on understanding the diagnosis first, reviewing previous treatment carefully and selecting treatment according to the couple’s reproductive goals and clinical circumstances.
A Diagnosis-Led, Own-Egg-First Approach
Every fertility case is different. Dr. Shah begins with the couple’s medical history, previous treatment, ovarian reserve, semen parameters, uterine factors and reproductive goals before discussing treatment options.
Where there is a medically reasonable opportunity to use a woman’s own eggs, that option is considered before moving to donor pathways. This is particularly relevant in selected cases involving low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, advanced reproductive age or previous IVF treatment.
When previous treatment has failed, the focus is not simply on repeating the same protocol. The aim is to review what happened, identify clinically relevant factors and determine whether further investigation or a change in treatment strategy is appropriate.
“The right fertility treatment begins with understanding the reason treatment has not worked before.”
– Dr. Pranay Shah
The "Self-Egg First" Promise by an Indian Low AMH IVF Expert
A growing concern among fertility patients in India is the premature recommendation of donor egg cycles — often driven more by convenience than clinical necessity. Dr. Pranay Shah has built his reputation on a fundamentally different promise.
As a recognised Self-Egg IVF Expert, Dr. Shah exhausts every available scientific avenue to help patients conceive using their own eggs and genetics — even in cases of advanced maternal age, Low AMH, and poor ovarian reserve. Through customized gentle stimulation protocols, mitochondrial-targeted nutritional supplementation, advanced embryology, and precise hormonal optimization, he has helped hundreds of women who were told donor was their only option, achieve pregnancies with their own eggs. You can read real patient success stories from couples who conceived under his care. For the science behind improving ovarian reserve, read Dr. Shah’s guide to low AMH and IVF.
Only when every clinically sound option has been explored does Dr. Shah have an honest, compassionate conversation about donor pathways — and even then, you receive complete transparency, never pressure.

How Dr. Shah Approaches a Complex Fertility Case
- Understand the complete history
Previous pregnancies, miscarriages, IVF cycles, ovarian reserve, sperm parameters and relevant medical or surgical history are reviewed together. - Identify the clinically relevant problem
The aim is to distinguish whether the main issue is ovarian reserve, egg or sperm factors, embryo development, uterine factors, implantation, or a combination of factors. - Decide what needs investigation
Additional investigations are considered according to the clinical picture rather than as a routine checklist for every patient. - Choose treatment according to the diagnosis
Treatment may involve expectant management, ovulation treatment, IUI, IVF/ICSI, surgical treatment or another appropriate pathway. - Review previous treatment before repeating it
For patients with repeated IVF failure or recurrent implantation problems, previous cycles are reviewed carefully before deciding whether another cycle should follow the same or a modified strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Pranay Shah
Ask a QuestionDoes Dr. Pranay Shah perform Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy surgeries as well as IVF?
Yes. Dr. Shah is a highly trained Endoscopic Gynaecological Surgeon in addition to being an IVF specialist. He routinely performs Diagnostic and Operative Laparoscopy to treat endometriosis, PCOD, blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts, and uterine fibroids. He also performs advanced Operative Hysteroscopy for uterine polyps, septa, adhesions, and submucosal fibroids. Critically, he frequently identifies and surgically corrects structural fertility barriers in the same surgical sitting — restoring natural fertility without the need for IVF in appropriate cases.
Will I see Dr. Pranay Shah at every appointment, or will I be seen by different doctors?
At Wellspring IVF, Dr. Shah prides himself on a genuinely personalized care model. He personally conducts your initial consultation, personally designs your stimulation protocol, personally performs the egg retrieval procedure, and personally conducts your embryo transfer. You are never passed between multiple doctors during active treatment. This continuity of expert care is one of the strongest differentiators of Wellspring IVF from larger corporate fertility chains.
What is Dr. Shah's approach to patients who have experienced multiple failed IVF cycles?
Dr. Shah takes a systematic, investigative approach to recurrent IVF failure — treating it as an unsolved diagnostic puzzle rather than a reason to escalate to donor. He will conduct a detailed review of all previous cycle documentation, stimulation protocols, embryology reports, and endometrial findings. He may recommend investigations including ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis), immunological panels, sperm DNA fragmentation testing, and hysteroscopic cavity evaluation to identify the specific root cause of failure before designing a customized new protocol.
Does Dr. Shah treat severe male infertility, including zero sperm count (Azoospermia)?
Yes. Dr. Shah works with a team of expert embryologists to manage even the most complex male infertility cases. For men with zero sperm count, he utilizes surgical sperm retrieval techniques including Micro-TESE and PESA. Advanced ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) and IMSI (which uses 6,600x magnification to identify structurally optimal sperm) are then used to maximize fertilization from retrieved sperm. Sperm DNA Fragmentation testing is also available to assess sperm quality at a genetic level.
I have very Low AMH. Is Dr. Shah able to help me have a baby with my own eggs?
Low AMH is one of Dr. Shah’s most specialized areas of clinical focus. His approach is rooted in the Self-Egg First philosophy. He utilizes individualized gentle stimulation protocols, DHEA and CoQ10 supplementation protocols, and advanced embryology to maximise the quality — not just the quantity — of eggs retrieved. Many patients who were told by other specialists that donor egg was their only option have successfully achieved pregnancy with their own eggs under Dr. Shah’s care. An honest assessment of your specific AMH level, antral follicle count, age, and clinical history is made at consultation before any pathway is recommended.
Is Dr. Pranay Shah available for online video consultations for patients outside Ahmedabad?
Yes. Dr. Pranay Shah offers structured online video consultations for patients from other cities in India and for NRI and international patients. This is particularly valuable for couples who wish to review their reports, understand their diagnosis, and plan their treatment protocol remotely before travelling to Ahmedabad for the active treatment cycle.
What languages does Dr. Pranay Shah consult in?
Dr. Shah consults fluently in Gujarati, Hindi, and English — making him equally accessible to patients from Gujarat, across India, and internationally.
Does Dr. Pranay Shah handle legal and clinical protocols for Altruistic Surrogacy at Wellspring IVF?
Yes. Dr. Pranay Shah and the clinical team at Wellspring IVF provide complete, compliant guidance under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021. From initial clinical Altruistic surrogacy eligibility evaluations for both the intended parents and the altruistic surrogate, to state surrogacy board documentation guidance and precise IVF/embryo transfer procedures, Dr. Shah personally oversees the entire medical journey to ensure full legal compliance and maximum success.
What does Dr. Pranay Shah specialise in?
Dr. Pranay Shah specialises in fertility evaluation, IVF and ICSI, with particular experience in complex infertility cases. His clinical practice includes low AMH and reduced ovarian reserve, endometriosis, PCOS/PCOD, recurrent miscarriage, repeated IVF failure, male-factor infertility and reproductive surgery. Treatment is planned according to the individual diagnosis, previous treatment history and reproductive goals.
Does Dr. Shah treat recurrent miscarriage?
Yes. Dr. Shah evaluates recurrent miscarriage by reviewing the patient’s pregnancy history, previous investigations and other clinically relevant factors. Further evaluation and treatment are considered according to the individual case rather than following a single routine approach.
Can I take a second opinion from Dr. Shah after failed IVF treatment?
Yes. Dr. Shah provides second-opinion consultations for patients who have experienced unsuccessful IVF treatment. Previous IVF records, ovarian response, embryo development, transfer history and other relevant clinical information can be reviewed to discuss whether further investigation or a different treatment strategy may be appropriate.
