About FertilityCostGuide
Why we built the fertility cost resource we wished existed.
Why we built this
We wanted to start a family, and ran into health complications along the way. What surprised us most wasn't the medicine — it was how hard the process was to navigate.
Every clinic quoted differently. Financing options were scattered across a dozen tabs. Insurance mandates varied by state in ways nobody explained clearly. And the real numbers — what IVF, egg freezing, egg donation, or a surrogacy journey actually costs, all-in — were nearly impossible to find before we were already deep into a consultation.
So we built the thing we wished existed: state-by-state cost data, real calculators for IVF, egg freezing, egg donation, IUI, and surrogacy, and a plain-language breakdown of what insurance will and won't cover where you live.
One place, not twenty scattered ones.
We're not a clinic, a financial advisor, or a fertility specialist — just two people who got frustrated it was this hard to find a straight answer, and decided to build one. See our Methodology page for exactly how we source and verify every number on this site.
