Timed intercourse, often referred to as TI, is a fertility treatment that involves monitoring ovulation to determine the most fertile days, then planning sexual intercourse around that specific time. The primary objective is to increase the chances of conception by ensuring that sperm is present in the fallopian tubes when the egg is released.

The cost of a timed intercourse cycle can vary depending on several factors, such as which medications are used, the extent of monitoring required, and any added fees from your fertility clinic.

Some benefits of ovulation induction include:

• Higher conception rates 
• Flexible treatment plan (may be natural or medicated cycle)
• Less invasive and more affordable

Intrauterine insemination is a short, in-office procedure that can help overcome fertility challenges like mild to moderate male factor infertility without additional procedures, such as an egg retrieval. 

By placing a high concentration of sperm directly into the uterus, more sperm can reach the egg, increasing chances of conception. When combined with ovulation induction, IUI can also treat other fertility issues like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Some benefits of IUI include:

• More affordable than IVF
• Less invasive and complex
• No recovery time

In vitro fertilization is a highly-effective fertility treatment method which involves using fertility medications to stimulate ovulation, retrieving eggs from the ovaries, and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then assessed for quality, and can be frozen or transferred into the uterus to attempt pregnancy.

IVF is often used when other fertility treatments have failed or for specific conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, or genetic disorders.

Some benefits of IVF include:

• Highest success rate of any fertility treatment
  
• Effective for a wide range of fertility issues
  
• Embryo testing can increase chances of a healthy baby

Reciprocal IVF (RIVF) offers the opportunity for both partners in a same-sex female (or trans male) couple to contribute to the family-building process in a unique and beautiful way. One partner’s eggs are used to create embryos, and the other partner then carries the pregnancy and delivers the child.

One partner "donates" their eggs (taking fertility medications to produce multiple eggs and undergoing an egg retrieval). After egg retrieval, those eggs are combined with your chosen donor sperm in the IVF laboratory. The carrying partner then goes on medication to prepare her uterus for an embryo transfer.

The cost of RIVF ends up looking very similar to that of a traditional IVF journey, with added costs typically coming in the form of donor sperm.

Some benefits of RIVF include:

• Both partners can be biologically involved in the process
  
• May increase IVF success rates, in some cases
  
• This leads to a sense of empowerment for LGBTQ+ couples

Gestational surrogacy is a type of surrogacy where a woman (known as a surrogate or gestational carrier) carries and delivers a baby for another person or couple (the intended parents) but is not genetically related to the child.

The embryo is created through IVF using the eggs and sperm of the intended parents and/or their chosen donors, and then transferred to the surrogate's uterus.

Some benefits of surrogacy include:

• Allows same-sex male couples to have a biological child
  
• A safer option for survivors of certain types of cancer
  
• For those with genetic concerns or unable to carry a pregnancy
