Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear, expert answers to the most common questions regarding fertility treatments, testing, and care at VB Fertility Clinic.
The first step is scheduling a consultation with one of our specialists. During this initial visit, we'll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and outline a diagnostic testing plan to understand your unique situation before recommending any treatments.
Coverage varies drastically depending on your individual insurance provider and plan. Many plans cover initial consultations and diagnostic testing, but may not cover assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. We have financial counselors on-site to help you understand your benefits and explore financing options.
A standard IVF cycle typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks from the beginning of medication to the egg retrieval and embryo transfer. However, specific timelines can vary depending on your unique protocols and whether you opt for PGT (genetic screening) or frozen embryo transfers.
While we do not have a strict universal age limit, success rates naturally decline with age. Generally, we perform IVF with a woman's own eggs up to age 43-45, depending on ovarian reserve testing. We also offer donor egg programs for patients who need them.
Light to moderate exercise is generally safe and encouraged during early stages of treatment. However, as your ovaries expand during stimulation (prior to egg retrieval), we strongly advise avoiding high-impact activities or heavy lifting to prevent complications like ovarian torsion.
For the most accurate semen analysis, we typically require 2 to 5 days of ejaculatory abstinence prior to providing the sample. Avoiding hot tubs, saunas, and excessive alcohol leading up to the test is also recommended.
