Questions Before You Commit
Gather Your Clinic Estimates
Bring your clinic’s written estimate, details of any embryos in storage and expected treatment dates. Mark medication, screening, storage, transport and repeat-cycle costs as included, excluded or still to confirm.
Check Insurance and Travel
Ask the relevant providers to review coverage, exclusions and potential out-of-pocket expenses. List travel, accommodation and time away from work, then identify the items that still need a quote.
Build a Payment Calendar
Record each deposit and payment milestone alongside your available funds. Ask about cancellation terms, unused funds and a contingency reserve before committing. Keep written estimates and agreements together.
