How we write.
Who reviews
Dr Vani Sundarapandian, MD, DGO, FRCOG (UK), reviews the journal. Nothing goes live without a named reviewer.
Sources we use
Published guidelines and patient pages from ESHRE, NICE, NHS, HFEA, ASRM, WHO, ICMR and Cochrane. Each article lists its sources at the end, with links you can open.
What we will never publish
Success rates, prices, stories used as proof that treatment works, supplements or add-ons without evidence, and anything about choosing a baby's sex, which is illegal in India.
How we correct mistakes
If you spot an error, tell us on WhatsApp or at [email protected]. The reviewing doctor checks it, we fix the article, thanks to you, and show the date it changed.
A date on every article
Every article shows who reviewed it and when. Each one is checked again at least once a year, or sooner when a guideline changes.
Trying to conceive
How long to try, what to track, and when both of you should get checked.
Her fertility
PCOS, endometriosis, a thin lining, a word on a scan report: what each one changes.
His fertility
Why he is tested in the first round, and what his report does and doesn't say.
IVF and IUI
Which one, how many cycles, what your embryo report means, and which add-ons have evidence.
After treatment
A failed cycle, the question of stopping, and the conversations nobody prepares you for.
Food and lifestyle
What you can change, for both of you, and which food rules are myths.

ASK
Didn't find your question?
Ask it anonymously. No name, no phone number. Good questions become new articles, answered by our doctors. If you would rather talk to a person, message us on WhatsApp.
About the journal.
Who checks the articles in the Jananam journal?
Every article is reviewed by a named fertility specialist at Jananam before it goes live. Dr Vani Sundarapandian, MD, DGO, FRCOG (UK), reviews the journal. The reviewer and the date are shown on each article.
Why don't your articles give success rates?
We don't publish success rates in articles, because a single number rarely applies to you and can mislead. Your own chances depend on age, egg reserve, sperm and diagnosis, and a doctor can go through them with you.
Can I ask a fertility doctor a question anonymously?
Yes, you can ask on our anonymous question page without giving your name or phone number. Selected questions are answered in articles and videos.
Can an article replace a consultation?
No. An article explains what a finding usually means; a consultation looks at both of you, your reports and your history, and ends with a written plan.
