ASRM / ReproductiveFacts· United States3 minIVF TreatmentAll learning videos

Video from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) patient education channel, ReproductiveFacts. It is an external educational resource, not an Antega partnership.

In the United States, IVF is usually overseen by a reproductive endocrinologist rather than through a national referral pathway. Insurance coverage for IVF varies by insurer, employer and state, so check what your plan covers before treatment begins.

Key takeaways

  • Lifestyle changes are usually discussed alongside, not instead of, medical treatment.
  • Ask your reproductive endocrinologist which changes are relevant to your own situation.
  • Recommendations can differ between professional bodies such as ASRM, ACOG and the CDC.
