If a woman has been trying to get pregnant with no success for over a year, then one of the partners in the relationship is likely infertile. There’s an equal chance that the issue could be with either partner in the relationship. For women, a menstrual cycle that’s irregular, absent, too long (35 days or more), or too short (20 days or less), might mean that a woman isn’t ovulating. It’s a good idea to have infertility professionally diagnosed and treated.

If you’re unable to get pregnant after over a year, then you could keep trying for another year, as many couples find success within 2 years of trying. However, some don’t, and you might want to start a family sooner than this. In this case, you should go to a fertility clinic like ours here at The New Hope Center.

At a fertility clinic, during a consultation, you and your partner can find out who could be struggling with infertility, and then that person can receive treatments to help. The clinic has many specialized onsite services such as infertility testing, medications, ovulation induction treatments, and more.

Depending on the provider, the type of testing, and other factors, an initial consultation and a fertility test (for either partner) could cost anywhere from $100 to $1000 or more. Other services like in vitro fertilization (IVF) are additional expenses. Some insurers will cover some costs. Because pricing varies so much, especially from provider to provider, we encourage you to contact us here at The New Hope Center to learn more about our pricing and the insurers we work with.

Although in vitro fertilisation (IVF) can be quite expensive, you may be eligible for partial insurance coverage for the costs of infertility treatments like IVF, so you’ll definitely want to contact your insurer about this. You can also tap into your flexible-spending account (FSA) or health savings plan (HSA). Some people resort to borrowing money (from family, a bank, or a credit union) or even crowdfunding for IVF. Most importantly, perhaps, you should choose a fertility clinic with affordable services, like The New Hope Center.
