There are many misconceptions about the cost of infertility treatment for instance:

• Non-coverage of infertility related treatments
• Specialist care is always more expensive
• Reproductive Endocrinologists recommend expensive treatments

Contrary to the myths, the majority of patients seeking infertility treatments, will often become pregnant with other less expensive treatments such as timed intercourse, ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination.The greatest expense occurs in therapies that are continued but are not working. In such scenarios complete evaluation of couples is of utmost important to prescribe the most appropriate treatments as any treatment without complete analysis makes the treatment more expensive and futile. For instance, if a male partner has male factor infertility and it is not diagnosed and treated, treatment of the female will not be successful.
