Antega updates — India

• A fuller Medication & Supplement Tracker, with dose reminders

  Choose the type of medicine first — stimulation, antagonist, trigger, progesterone, antibiotic, steroid, blood thinner, supplement and more — then pick the exact medicine from the list for your own country, or type your own. Record the dose your clinic prescribed, how often you take it, the times of day and how many days the course runs for, then tick each dose off as you take it. Switch reminders on and Antega will send a notification to your device at every dose time. Your clinic always decides what you take; Antega only repeats back what you have recorded.

• Compare the fertility medicines used in your country

  The comparison area now has a Medications section. Look up a medicine by brand or by its active ingredient and see, for your own country, which strengths and devices exist, how that exact product says it should be stored, whether it is registered and currently marketed, whether fertility use sits inside its licence, and the official source with the date Antega checked it. Every country has its own register, so a brand is never shown somewhere it has not been verified. There are no doses, no timings and no medicine prices — your clinic prescribes, and each card links to the matching guide, injection video and planning tools.

• Clearer clinic prices and optional clinic matching

  The clinic comparison now shows one like-for-like figure — a standard own-egg IVF or ICSI cycle intended to end in one fresh embryo transfer — alongside the clinic's advertised price, unavoidable extra charges and an estimated medication range where the clinic publishes one. Thirty-five more clinics have been added at home and abroad, multi-cycle and refund programmes are listed, and you can now switch on Antega Match to see which clinics fit what you are looking for, with every reason explained.

• New frozen embryo transfer and double stimulation resources

  Every published Antega country now has a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Cycle Checklist, a guide explaining the difference between natural, modified natural and medicated FET, a guide to the Shanghai Protocol (DuoStim) double ovarian stimulation approach, and a DuoStim journey checklist. Each version is written for its own country, with local spelling, terminology and urgent-care wording, and links to the medication and appointment planners so you can add the instructions your clinic has given you.

• Family Fertility Support wording has been simplified

  Across every published Antega country, Family Fertility Support now states clearly that it may include every Growth package option without repeating each option. It may also include eligible travel and accommodation support, including international travel and accommodation when required. Hope, Growth and Family support may be provided in stages up to the applicable maximum allowance, subject to eligibility, verification, approved costs and the Fertility Support Programme Terms.

• Family Fertility Support now includes every Growth package option

  Historical update — superseded

  Across every published Antega country, Family Fertility Support may now cover all five Growth package options together: Getting Started, Medication, Egg Collection, Embryo and Laboratory. Family continues to provide broader eligible treatment support as well. Support is not guaranteed and remains subject to verification, the member's treatment plan, approved costs, local availability and the Fertility Support Programme Terms. Membership prices, shop benefits, Seeds and payment arrangements are unchanged.

  Family support now references every Growth package option without relisting them and also includes eligible travel and accommodation support where required.

• Growth Fertility Support package details are now consistent

  Every Antega country now describes the same five Growth Fertility Support options wherever Growth support is explained: Getting Started, Medication, Egg Collection, Embryo and Laboratory. A confirmed Growth Fertility Support Recipient receives one package, subject to verification, their treatment plan, approved costs and the Fertility Support Programme Terms. Membership prices, Seeds, shop benefits and payment arrangements are unchanged.

• Growth membership now includes free standard delivery

  Growth and Family members now receive free standard delivery on eligible Antega Shop orders in every published country where Antega can fulfil delivery. Hope members continue to receive their 5% member discount and pay the standard delivery charge. Discover members continue to shop at public prices with no member discount or delivery benefit. Membership prices, Family rewards, Seeds and Fertility Support are unchanged.

• Antega Fertility Support is part of membership in every published country

  The Fertility Support Programme is no longer described as a United Kingdom feature. It now forms part of qualifying Hope, Growth and Family memberships in every published Antega country, each with its own currency and its own approved maximum support values. The country saved on your Antega account decides which values and rules apply to you, and support always remains subject to eligibility, verification and the Fertility Support Programme Terms.

• Every Antega country now has its own joining page

  The United Kingdom joining page is now the shared design for every Antega country. The United States, Canada, Australia, India, Nigeria and South Africa each have their own joining page showing Discover first, then Hope, Growth and Family, always in that country's own currency and prices. Monthly and annual billing applies only to the paid memberships, and choosing Discover still means no card details and no automatic upgrade. Joining links across the site now take you to the page for the country you are browsing.

• Eligible Family members can now request their ancestry kit

  Once your country’s qualifying continuous paid Family period is complete, you can request your one-time DNA Ancestry Kit from your account. Confirm the delivery address, submit the request once, and follow its clear preparing, dispatched and delivered status from the same Family benefits panel. The kit explores ancestry and heritage only; it is not a fertility, medical, carrier or diagnostic test.

• Welcome Shop Credit can now be spent at checkout

  Family members can now apply their available Welcome Shop Credit to eligible Antega Shop products at checkout. Your local credit, member discount and delivery benefit are calculated separately, the amount used appears clearly in your order summary, and any remaining balance stays in your account. Shop prices and payment use your country's currency across the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, India, Nigeria and South Africa. The fixed conversion rates are reviewed every three months; the rate used is recorded with each order. As requested, no tax or VAT is added. Discover, Hope and Growth do not receive Welcome Shop Credit, and Seeds and Fertility Support are unchanged.

• The same shop benefits and Family rewards in every country

  Antega Shop benefits work the same way wherever you are. Hope members save 5%, Growth members save 10% and Family members save 15%, always calculated from your own country's local price and applied automatically when you are signed in — no codes. Growth and Family memberships include free standard delivery on eligible Antega Shop orders where we can deliver to you; Hope pays the standard delivery charge. The free Discover membership includes no shop discount, no free delivery, no Welcome Shop Credit and no DNA Ancestry Kit; Discover members shop at standard public prices. Every country's Family membership gives two separate tangible benefits rather than a choice between them: a one-off Welcome Shop Credit once your first Family payment is confirmed — £15 in the United Kingdom, $22.50 in the United States, C$30 in Canada, A$30 in Australia, ₹1,000 in India, ₦15,000 in Nigeria and R200 in South Africa — and a DNA Ancestry Kit after 6 continuous paid Family months in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia, or 12 continuous paid Family months in India, Nigeria and South Africa. Only successfully paid Family months count; failed, unpaid or refunded periods do not, and a break in Family membership starts the qualifying period again. The credit is one per member ever, has no cash alternative, is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for Seeds. The ancestry kit explores ancestry and heritage only — it is not a fertility, medical, carrier or diagnostic test. Your credit and your month-by-month progress appear in your account. Membership prices are unchanged, and Seeds and Fertility Support are unaffected.

• Two tangible Family benefits for India members

  Family membership in India now includes two tangible extras alongside every digital Family benefit. When you first join Family you receive a one-off ₹1,000 Antega Shop credit: one per member, redeemable only in the Antega Shop, with no cash alternative, non-transferable, not exchangeable for Seeds and not reissued if Family membership ends and later restarts. After twelve continuous months of successfully paid Family membership you can request one DNA ancestry kit. Failed, unpaid or refunded periods do not count, and a break in Family membership starts the twelve months again. The ancestry kit is for heritage interest only — it is not a fertility test, genetic health or carrier test, medical screening or diagnostic test, and it does not predict fertility, pregnancy or disease risk. Both benefits and their progress appear in your account. Membership never guarantees Fertility Support, which remains subject to eligibility, the Fertility Support Programme Terms and available funding.

• India membership pricing now shown in rupees

  Antega India now shows membership pricing in Indian Rupees rather than pounds. Discover stays free and ongoing. Hope is ₹399 a month, Growth is ₹799 a month and Family is ₹1,499 a month, with annual membership at ₹3,990, ₹7,990 and ₹14,990 — twelve months for the price of ten, so you save the equivalent of two months. Growth is marked as the most popular membership. These are figures approved for India, not currency conversions, and no other country's pricing has changed. Paid membership is not open for purchase in India yet, so the rupee prices are shown for information while you use Discover and the free areas of Antega. Fertility Support is never guaranteed: it depends on eligibility, the Fertility Support Programme Terms and available programme funding.

• Discover: a free Antega membership for everyone

  Antega now has a free membership level called Discover, sitting before Hope, Growth and Family. It is not a trial: there is no payment method, nothing expires, and it never turns into a paid membership on its own. Discover members get a selected part of their own country's Learning Centre — beginner guides, trying-to-conceive and pregnancy recipes, introductory videos — plus starter planning tools such as the cycle calendar, appointment notes, questions for your doctor and test results, and the ability to save whatever helps. Everything follows your registered country, so you see the guidance, wording and prices that actually apply to you; reading another country's pages is now clearly marked as information only and never shows prices or joining options. Support Seeds, Fertility Support eligibility, live webinars, member discounts and the full library remain part of Hope, Growth and Family. If you upgrade later, or a paid membership ends, your saved items, notes, tracker entries, journals and country all stay with you.

• Eight India videos filling the gaps in the video library

  We went through every topic in the India video library and looked for the subjects that were missing or thinly covered, then added eight videos from eight different Indian providers. Apollo 24x7 answers how likely twins are with IVF and why a twin pregnancy is higher risk. Max Healthcare explains how gym supplements and hidden anabolic steroids can lower sperm count and motility, which is a common and easily missed cause of male fertility problems. Velammal Hospital in Madurai gives a short overview of IVF side effects and complications, and our own page on ovarian hyperstimulation sits alongside it with the warning signs. Crysta IVF explains embryo grading in Hindi, so the grades on your embryology report make sense. Dr Aniruddha Malpani in Mumbai sets out how to review an unsuccessful cycle with your doctor before agreeing to another one. Excel IVF in Delhi explains the trigger injection in Hindi and why a good scan does not mean every egg collected will be mature. Isha Women's Hospital addresses having no symptoms at all after an embryo transfer, and Shubha Fertility covers the days that follow a transfer, including why complete bed rest is not advised. Several topics still have no suitable Indian video and we have left them empty rather than fill them with advertising. None of these videos contain doses, and each carries India's 112 and 108 emergency numbers.

• Eleven more India videos from hospitals, public television and medical societies

  India's video library keeps moving away from private clinic marketing. There are eleven new videos, none of them from a fertility clinic. AIIMS New Delhi's telemedicine channel has a full patient guide to PCOS: symptoms, causes, how it is diagnosed, how it is managed and what it means for fertility. Doordarshan Uttarakhand's Hello Doctor programme answers viewers' own questions in Hindi about infertility, IVF, blocked tubes, age, IUI and ICSI, with a link to our up-to-date page on India's ART rules. Four talks come from the Endocrine Society of India's PCOS Taskforce, covering infertility in PCOS, how PCOS is diagnosed, care shaped around the individual, and the emotional side of living with PCOS. From FOGSI and ICOG there is a masterclass on ultrasound, where the fertility-relevant session covers follicle tracking, scan-guided procedures, uterine anomalies and tubal assessment, and the three-day certificate course on heavy or abnormal bleeding, which is linked so you can move between Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3. Finally, the Indian Fertility Society's andrology group hosted a long expert webinar on male infertility and what does and does not work. The professional recordings are clearly labelled as made for doctors, carry 112 and 108 emergency wording, and contain no doses or instructions to follow.

• Public, academic and professional videos for India

  The India video library now includes thirteen videos from sources outside private fertility clinics. Three come from India's public service broadcaster: two Doordarshan National discussions on infertility and IVF featuring doctors from AIIMS New Delhi and VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital, and an archive episode of The Health Show from the Prasar Bharati archive. The other ten are open recordings from FOGSI ICOG, the national professional bodies for obstetrics and gynaecology: the three-day Certificate Course on Infertility, the three-day Certificate Course on Endometriosis, and masterclasses on adenomyosis in infertility, Müllerian anomalies, fibroids and reproductive immunology. The two courses are linked together, so you can move between Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 from any part. These are long recordings made for doctors, and they are labelled as such: each one lists the sessions taken from the official ICOG programme, carries a note that it is clinician education rather than personal advice, and includes India's 112 and 108 emergency numbers. Nothing here contains doses or instructions to follow, and the reproductive immunology masterclass is a useful listen if an immune test or therapy has been suggested to you at cost.

• Ten more videos in the India video library

  Ten further videos have been added to the India video library, all from Cloudnine Fertility / Cloudnine Hospitals in India and all featuring Dr Prashant S Joshi. They cover low sperm motility, how ovarian reserve is checked with AMH and antral follicle count, blastocyst transfer, the investigations used when no sperm are found in the ejaculate, lifestyle changes and male fertility, the fertility tests offered to women, the common fertility tests for both partners, blocked fallopian tubes, an introduction to azoospermia, and egg freezing. Each one is summarised in plain English, linked to the related India guides and checklists, and carries a short note where suitability depends on individual assessment — a blocked tube cannot always be reopened, sperm retrieval is never guaranteed, ovarian reserve tests estimate egg numbers rather than your chance of a baby, and freezing eggs does not guarantee a future pregnancy. Naming a hospital is not an endorsement, and none of this replaces advice from your own registered clinic. Videos play in the privacy-enhanced YouTube player and nothing autoplays.

• New India fertility video library

  India now has its own video library. It covers the IVF process step by step, how IVF, IUI and ICSI differ, when to seek fertility advice, semen analysis and male fertility including azoospermia, TESA and micro-TESE, egg freezing and fertility preservation, egg collection day, the embryology side including ICSI, embryo freezing and PGT-A, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, blocked tubes and pelvic infection, hysteroscopy and the uterine cavity, thin lining, IVF medicines and injections, IVF add-ons, and repeated miscarriage and how it is investigated. Every video is filmed by an Indian clinic or hospital and Antega curates it for education only: our summaries carry no booking calls, phone numbers, prices, packages, success rates or best-clinic claims, and naming an organisation does not mean we endorse it. Where a video states something more strongly than the evidence supports, we add a short context note beside it — for example that PGT-A reports chromosome copy number rather than a healthy embryo, that sperm retrieval is never guaranteed, that a blocked tube cannot always be reopened, that not every fibroid needs removing, and that one unsuccessful IVF cycle does not justify a list of add-ons. Sex selection is prohibited in India and we provide no information on it. Some videos are spoken in Hindi or Marathi with English clinical terms, which we note on the page; Antega's own titles, summaries and takeaways stay in clear English. Videos play in the original YouTube player with no autoplay, and each one links to the related India guides.

• Interactive checklists and planners for India

  India now has its own set of tick-off checklists and planning tools, written for Indian fertility care rather than adapted from anywhere else. The checklists cover the first appointment and what to carry, checking that a clinic or ART bank is registered before you pay, the tests to expect and track for both partners, questions for your doctor, and getting a second opinion without repeating everything. There are step-by-step checklists for an IVF cycle, monitoring visits, egg collection day, embryo transfer, frozen transfer and IUI, plus a warning-signs page that tells you plainly when to go straight to a hospital emergency department rather than wait for the clinic to open. Practical ones deal with collecting medicines and checking the bill, batch and expiry, keeping refrigerated injections safe through heat and power cuts, injection supplies and safe sharps disposal, and travelling to another city for treatment. Male fertility is covered properly, including preparing for a semen analysis, the male appointment itself, and planning the sample needed on collection day. There are checklists for getting a clear itemised quotation, checking insurance and employer cover, donor treatment, surrogacy paperwork and preserving fertility before cancer treatment, and gentler ones for after an unsuccessful cycle, after a miscarriage, early pregnancy after treatment, your own wellbeing, and handling questions from family. Alongside these, the India planning tools now include the medication planners: cycle timeline, trigger countdown, stock and reorder, delivery tracking, storage and power planning, injection site rotation, travel and clinic-journey planning, each with an Indian note. Everything saves as you tick, nothing here diagnoses you, and no checklist or planner ever suggests a medicine, a dose or a timing — they only record what your clinic has already decided. Legal items are date-stamped to 9 September 2026.

• The India fertility glossary, in full

  The India glossary is now a complete A–Z of the words you meet in Indian fertility care, from the first consultation to reports handed to you at discharge. It explains anatomy and hormones, AMH and antral follicle counts, thyroid and prolactin results, PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis and adenomyosis, tubal blockage, hydrosalpinx and female genital tuberculosis, and the infections screened before treatment. Male fertility is covered properly, including every term that appears on a semen report, azoospermia and its types, varicocele, DNA fragmentation and surgical sperm retrieval, written respectfully with the older, harsher words kept only so that searches still find the right page. Treatment terms run from ovulation induction and IUI through stimulation protocols, egg collection, fertilisation, embryo grading, blastocysts, vitrification and frozen transfer, alongside straight talk about which laboratory add-ons lack good evidence. There are entries on OHSS and other complications, early pregnancy scans, miscarriage and recurrent loss, fertility preservation and donor conception, PGT and the genetic conditions that matter most in India, including thalassaemia and sickle-cell disease. The regulatory entries explain the ART (Regulation) Act, the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, registered clinics and ART banks, certificates, consent and complaints, and each is date-stamped. Common alternative names and spellings are attached to each term, so searching for what your report actually says brings up the right definition, and terms link to the India guides that explain them at length. We never publish doses or prescribing instructions, sex determination and sex selection are prohibited in India and we do not provide information on them, and urgent symptoms always point you to your treating clinic or the nearest hospital emergency department.

• Harder questions, answered for India

  We have added a further set of India guides for the more difficult and specialised situations people actually meet, and they sit alongside the existing pages in the Learning Centre. There is new material on thyroid antibodies, high androgens, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, pituitary problems and early ovarian ageing; on fertility before and after cancer treatment, including BRCA and Lynch syndrome, blood cancers and stem-cell transplant; and on the genetic conditions that matter most here, including thalassaemia, sickle-cell disease and questions families ask when parents share ancestry. There are pages on trying again after an ectopic pregnancy, on recovery after uterine procedures and pelvic infection, and a substantial new section on male fertility that explains what 'pus cells' on a semen report really mean, why a single poor result after a fever should not be treated as final, which medicines can affect sperm production, and what can be done after spinal-cord injury, pelvic surgery or cancer treatment. On IVF we cover poor and high response, freeze-all, embryos that stop developing, mosaic results, difficult transfers and repeated unsuccessful transfers, including a frank look at which widely sold extras have no good evidence behind them. Practical pages cover keeping refrigerated injections safe through Indian summers and power cuts, managing a cycle when the clinic is in another city, judging care in smaller towns, getting consultations and consent in your own language, reading package prices and guarantee schemes, and using traditional medicine safely alongside treatment. The legal pages explain how to check a clinic's registration, what you are signing, donation through registered ART banks, surrogacy eligibility, who is recognised as a parent, your rights and how to complain, and each is date-stamped. We never publish doses or prescribing instructions, sex selection is prohibited in India and we do not provide information on it, and urgent symptoms always point you to your treating clinic or the nearest hospital emergency department.

• The India recipe collection is now live with 83 recipes

  The India Learning Centre now has 83 Indian recipes — 44 for trying to conceive and 39 for pregnancy — across breakfasts, lunches, evening meals, snacks, soups, drinks, desserts and batch cooking, with dishes from North, South, East, West, Central and North East India. Around three quarters are vegetarian, with egg, chicken and fish options alongside them. Ingredients use metric amounts with familiar household measures, and every recipe lists allergens, storage, reheating and freezing advice for Indian kitchens, including hot-weather and power-cut guidance. Pregnancy recipes follow FSSAI and MoHFW food-safety advice on thoroughly cooked eggs and meat, pasteurised or boiled milk and dairy, and lower-mercury fish. Every recipe has its own photograph and works with search, filters, the shopping list and saved recipes. No recipe claims to treat infertility or change treatment outcomes.

• A much bigger India Learning Centre

  The India Learning Centre now holds more than 200 guides written specifically for India. They cover how conception works, the tests you are likely to be offered and what the results mean, PCOS and other hormone conditions, fibroids, endometriosis and tubal problems, male fertility, and every stage of IUI, IVF and ICSI from the first injection to the pregnancy test. There are new pages on things that matter here and are often left out elsewhere: genital tuberculosis as a cause of infertility, air pollution and heat exposure, eating well on Indian and vegetarian diets, anaemia, keeping medicines cold when you travel between cities for treatment, health insurance and what policies usually exclude, and how to read a clinic's price list and success-rate claims. Legal pages explain the ART and surrogacy framework, donation through registered ART banks, consent and storage, and are date-stamped so you can see when we last checked them; sex selection is prohibited in India and we do not provide information on it. There are also honest pages on IVF add-ons, on coping with family pressure, and on deciding whether to carry on. Every page names the Indian authorities it relies on. We never publish doses or prescribing instructions — your clinic decides those — and urgent-symptom advice points you to your treating clinic or the nearest hospital emergency department.

• Antega India is now open

  Historical update — superseded

  India joins the countries Antega supports. You can now browse Antega India at antega.org/in, with an Indian Learning Centre, planning tools, clinic research space, community journals and Hope Garden, all written for India rather than adapted from another country. The first India guides cover when to seek fertility help, how assisted reproduction is regulated under the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, and how treatment is usually paid for, alongside a starter glossary of Indian terms including ART banks, the National ART & Surrogacy Registry, CDSCO and IRDAI. India content is written from Indian sources — the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, the Department of Health Research, the National ART & Surrogacy Portal and Registry, ICMR, CDSCO and IRDAI — with WHO used where Indian guidance does not cover a clinical point. More India guides, checklists, recipes and tools are being published in batches. Paid membership and the Fertility Support Programme are not yet available in India, and no local prices are shown until they are confirmed.

  This announcement was accurate when published. Antega has since changed: see the newest updates above for how membership, pricing, Fertility Support and country availability work today.

• Seeds are earned through activities, not membership

  Antega no longer gives Seeds for holding a membership. The monthly membership Seed allocation has been withdrawn, and starting, renewing, upgrading or downgrading a membership no longer creates any Seed credit. Every Seed is now earned by completing the published Seed-earning activities, which are open to Hope, Growth and Family members on identical terms, so no membership level can produce more Seeds or a better Fertility Support position. Membership levels continue to differ in features, access, resources and the level of Fertility Support you may be eligible for. Seeds credited under the previous rule stay in your Seed history and your balances are unchanged.

• Support Seeds and Lifetime Seeds

  Antega now shows two clear Seed figures. Support Seeds are the Seeds you have available during the current three-month Support Period — you can earn them, use them and, where Antega permits, transfer them, and they reset when the Support Period ends. Lifetime Seeds are a permanent record of every Seed you have personally earned during your Antega journey; they are not spendable and never go down when you use or transfer Seeds. All Seeds remain a single type of Seed, with the source of each transaction recorded in your Seed history. Your garden, Seed page, planting and checkout now show your current Support Seed balance and what it will be after a transaction.

• Fertility Support is now explained by what it may cover

  Hope, Growth and Family are now the only Fertility Support levels — the old Foundation, Enhanced and Complete names have gone. Each membership page and the Hope Garden now set out the types of eligible support each level may provide, from consultations, investigations and testing through to approved medication, IUI, IVF and ICSI contributions, egg collection, embryology, embryo transfer and, at Family level, donor-related treatment and fertility preservation where eligible. A new Fertility Support comparison is built from Antega's central benefit configuration for your country. Support is never guaranteed and depends on your treatment plan, approved costs and verification. Financial limits and full eligibility conditions remain published in the Fertility Support Programme Terms.
