Common Questions


The right starting point depends on the level of support you’re looking for. Choose a comprehensive Fertility or Hormone Program if you want ongoing, personalized care. If you prefer to begin with testing, you can order Foundational or Advanced labs and schedule a Lab Insight Session once your results are available.

 Absolutely, Yes! We work with women and couples preparing for IVF or IUI by identifying potentially modifiable factors that may affect reproductive health, such as nutrient status, metabolic health, inflammation, thyroid function, sperm health, sleep, and environmental exposures. This care is designed to complement, not replace, the recommendations of your reproductive endocrinology team.

 

Vital Fertility is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. Depending on your individual plan and the service provided, you may be able to use HSA or FSA funds or submit documentation for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
