First, you'll want to schedule an appointment at one of our partner clinics for your initial consultation. Your fertility specialist will get to know your fertility goals, run any necessary testing, and create your fertility plan including conception care and any necessary third-party services.

We will take care of the logistical aspects, ensuring that all parties involved are well-informed and supported throughout the journey.
