WE CREATE A PERSONAL FERTILITY PLAN JUST FOR
YOU
The good news is there are so many options, and the bad news
is -- there are so many options. While there are thousands of
infertility professionals throughout the country, few offer a
'big picture' plan of action. Specialists focus on the specific
services they provide - which is not always what you need. We
help you navigate through all the options, and outline strategies
that will take the shortest, least emotionally and financially
draining route to having a baby.
Our
vast knowledge of nationwide resources enable us to quickly access exactly
what you need. Together, we determine what will work best for you and help
you avoid common pitfalls such as having the wrong fit with a clinic or
doctor (even if it feels like the right fit), making poor egg or sperm
donor choices, or spending countless dollars on treatments that don't make
sense for your particular
situation.
Our overall goal is to provide
you with the most direct path to having a baby. In doing so, we prepare
an individualized Fertility Plan just for you. We take into account your
reproductive history, current clinic or medical support,
financial considerations, personal needs and time frame.
Together, we map out a highly personalized course of action.
We enable you to find the right personnel to achieve your goal,
identify indicators for changes in treatment and/or clinics,
and guide you to facilities and agencies that best suit your
personal needs and desires. Our input has ultimately helped our
clients shorten the time, heartache and financial burden on
their path to parenthood.
I. YOUR PERSONAL FERTILITY PLAN WILL
INCLUDE SOME OR ALL OF THE
FOLLOWING:
1)REFERRALS
After years of working in the field of fertility, we have
compiled an amazing list of resources that are the absolute
best in the industry. That said, the industry and technology
of infertility is forever changing, so we are constantly
educating ourselves to keep this list up to date. Plus, our
referrals can often result in discounted rates and savings to you.
Psychologists: Whether you need someone to help ease the pain of your infertility struggles or you need a psychological profile of your surrogate or egg donor, we have nationwide contacts who are well-versed in all areas of fertility counseling and evaluation.
Legal Assistance: Not all people need legal assistance, but if you are pursuing a third party method of having a family (i.e., egg/sperm/embryo donation or surrogacy) we can refer you to the country's top attorneys who specialize in infertility.
2) EGG DONOR SELECTION
Looking for an egg donor can be
complicated and overwhelming. We help start you on your search, or if you
have already begun the process we can arm you with the right questions to
ask your egg donor and/or agency. We can provide personal referrals to
reputable agencies or information on how to find an egg donor
independently.
For an additional fee, we
can case manage your egg donor cycle, which is especially important if you
are using a friend or relative.
Or if you
want even more personalized service, we offer our our unique egg donor search program.
(For more information, please see Our
Fertility Solutions Fees).
3) SPERM DONOR
SELECTION
As with egg donors, choosing a sperm donor involves
physical, emotional and intellectual considerations. We have access and
experience with sperm banks throughout the country and can help you
identify the best banks for your
criteria.
4) SURROGACY AND/OR SURROGATE
SELECTION
Surrogacy is an incredible option, but this third party
method requires many components that can be overwhelming and time
consuming. With our wealth of expertise and resources, we can help you
quickly assemble your baby's "dream team." If working with a friend,
relative or someone independently, we can take an unbiased look at your
selected surrogate and ask the right questions before you make a costly
mistake. We also consult on health insurance, medical record review
issues and FDA requirements.
For an
additional fee, we offer crisis management assistance throughout the course of your
journey.

personal surrogacy case management services, please see our Agency for Surrogacy Solutions, Inc
website.
5) FINANCING
OPTIONS
Infertility options often come with a very high price tag.
It is not unusual for people facing assisted reproduction to have
difficulty affording the exorbitant fees and costs of medications. We take
an unbiased approach in helping you assess your options to make smart
choices. Sometimes, we can steer you in the direction of clinical trials, medication
discounts, clinic incentives, etc. that can save you
money.
6) ANCILLARY
THERAPIES
Our strong belief is that Western and Eastern medicine
can work well in tandem. If this is an area that interests you we can make
referrals to a nationwide network of supplementary infertility specialists including
acupuncturists, herbalists, nutritionists, massage therapists, etc. We
will work with you to discuss your particular needs and available
treatments.
7) INSURANCE
OPPORTUNITIES
Depending upon where you live, you may have insurance
opportunities available to you that you are unaware of. If you already
have health insurance but infertility is not covered, all is not lost. We can help
you explore available options, ways to encourage your employer to get
coverage that includes more medical costs, and actions you can take to try
and obtain coverage through your existing insurance provider.
II. INTERNATIONAL CLIENTELE
ASSISTANCE
As hard as it is deciphering all of the information
and choices available, it is even harder when you are trying from halfway
around the globe to create your family. We specialize in working with
people from all over the world and assisting in navigating their fertility options here in the
United States - including clinic, legal, agency and insurance referrals.
III. CONTINUOUS SUPPORT UNTIL YOU
ARE PREGNANT ...AND THROUGH THE BIRTH OF YOUR BABY
Infertility
can be an enormously stressful and sometimes lonely time in your life, and we are here to assist
you in all the practical and emotional aspects of your journey. We offer
continuous support and encouragement every step of the way. Your dream is
our dream - that you become a parent.
We
are an equal-opportunity consulting agency; we work with all intended parents regardless of age,
race, sexual orientation or marital
status
