This new tool guides you through dozens of options that potentially affect the cost of IVF treatment, identifying which ones are applicable to your case and explaining each cost related item. It is our goal to provide you with a more accurate cost estimate for IVF treatment even before you come in for your initial consultation. 

Many clinics do not include cost of medication, initial tests and other important factors that should be factored into the total cost estimate. They try to low ball an estimate and then explain away the differences after the fact. 

Our approach to treatment is different. Just like with our success rates, we believe in transparency and setting your expectations appropriately right from the beginning.

We would love your feedback on this new feature to our website. Please feel free to leave a comment below.

Reproductive Partners was chosen for our outstanding IVF success rates that are well above the national averages in all categories and for our world class embryology lab.  Additonally, our center is the only fertility center in San Diego receiving special recognition for achieving these high pregnancy rates with a low average number of embryos being transferred, which reduces the risk of triplets and the risks associated with higher order multiple pregnancies.

We are very proud that the military has continued to entrust us to provide IVF care for them.  Qualified Military beneficiaries may use our Embryology services that have a proven successful track record in conjunction with the Navy Physicians.  Patients may also elect to have all of their IVF services performed here at  Reproductive Partners-UCSD Regional Fertility Center and take advantage of our discount for military patients.  Please contact our financial services representative to find out more information.
