Financially Prepare For Treatment
Infertility care can be expensive and for many patients the cost of treatment can be a significant hurdle. The actual cost of fertility treatment is based on a number of factors including your diagnosis, treatment plan, insurance coverage and prescription benefits. We offer financing, an IVF refund program, and discount programs to make care accessible for more patients.

Main Line Fertility offers patients a complimentary Univfy preivf report so they will have a highly accurate personalized prediction for their probability of having a baby within the first three cycles of IVF.

Take a Prenatal Vitamin
We recommend that all patients attempting to conceive take a prenatal vitamin. Based on your personalized care plan, your physician may also want you to take additional supplements.

Practice Self Care
Having difficulty conceiving can be a huge source of stress, anxiety, and even depression. During a global pandemic those emotions can be heightened. We encourage all patients to take care of themselves during this difficult and unprecedented time.
