Frequently Asked Questions
Real Questions, real answers, because understanding your options matters.
If you’ve been trying to conceive for about a year (or six months if you’re 35 or older) without success, it’s a good time to meet with a fertility specialist. If you have a known reproductive concern, irregular cycles, or other health conditions that could impact fertility, you may want to reach out sooner.
Infertility can stem from many factors, and often it’s a combination of both partners. Common causes include ovulation issues, blocked fallopian tubes, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis, sperm quality concerns, or simply unexplained reasons. The good news is that many of these can be treated with today’s advanced options.
We encourage you to ask anything that helps you feel informed and supported. Common questions include:
- What tests do we need to better understand our fertility?
- What treatment options are best for us, and why?
- What are the success rates for patients like me?
- What kind of emotional support or resources are available?
No question is too small. Your care team is here for you every step of the way.
Costs vary depending on your treatment plan, but we’ll walk you through everything clearly before you begin. Our financial counselors are available to help you navigate your coverage and explore financing options if needed.
Every journey is unique, but we’ll outline each step for you so you always know what’s ahead. Treatments often involve diagnostic testing, medication to help with egg development, and procedures like insemination or IVF. Throughout, you’ll be closely supported by your care team who will guide you with compassion and clarity.
Most patients describe IVF as uncomfortable rather than painful. You may experience bloating, mild cramping, or temporary side effects from medications. The procedures themselves are generally well tolerated and very safe. Serious risks are rare, and your doctor will discuss all precautions with you to help you feel confident and cared for.
Look for a center where you feel truly supported, with experienced physicians, personalized care, and strong success rates. It’s important that you feel comfortable asking questions and that your care team takes the time to listen. At Fertility Centers of New England, we pride ourselves on combining advanced science with heartfelt compassion.
Yes! We’ll partner with your OB/GYN to make sure your care is seamless. Once you become pregnant, we’ll follow you closely through the early weeks and then transition your care back to your OB/GYN, who will continue supporting you through the rest of your pregnancy.
