fertility & insemination
An initial fertility visit with Wildwood Midwifery is a 90 minute appointment (office, home, or Zoom) for people seeking preconception care at any stage of their fertility journey—whether in the early stages of considering options or ready to start inseminations. The fee for this visit is $250, and includes 3 months of phone/e-mail support and cycle charting review/timing plans.
Fertility consults include:
a review of your health history
discussion of goals and timelines
recommendations to optimize fertility (herbs, supplements, diet, lifestyle)
review of any recorded cycle data
education on tracking ovulation cycle for optimal insemination timing
ordering relevant labs, as necessary
making an individualized plan
The midwives at Wildwood Midwifery believe that those using donor sperm (queer, trans, single, etc.) should have access to non-medicalized, in-home fertility support. Midwife assisted in-home IUI (intrauterine insemination) is a simple procedure where washed sperm is inserted into the uterus with a catheter (tiny tube) to achieve pregnancy. IUI increases the chances of conception when using frozen sperm.
The fee for one IUI cycle is $150. Two IUIs in one cycle is $250. At this time, insurance does not pay for these services.
