How much does RRM or NaProTechnology treatment cost compared to IVF?

RRM treatment costs vary by diagnosis and provider but are generally estimated at $3,000-15,000 total for diagnosis and treatment, though individual costs depend on specific interventions needed, while IVF averages $15,000-20,000 per cycle with most couples requiring multiple cycles.

The cost difference between Restorative Reproductive Medicine and IVF reflects fundamentally different approaches. RRM focuses on diagnosing and treating underlying reproductive conditions once, while IVF bypasses these conditions and often requires multiple attempts.

RRM Treatment Costs

RRM diagnostic workups typically cost $2,000-5,000 and include comprehensive hormone testing, imaging, and specialized assessments like post-coital testing. Treatment costs vary by condition but commonly include surgical excision of endometriosis ($8,000-12,000), ovarian drilling for PCOS ($6,000-10,000), or targeted hormone support protocols ($1,000-3,000).

Most RRM treatments are one-time interventions that restore normal reproductive function. Once underlying conditions are addressed, couples can conceive naturally without ongoing medical intervention.

IVF Cost Reality

While IVF appears to cost $15,000-20,000 per cycle, success rates mean most couples undergo multiple cycles. The average couple spends $40,000-60,000 before achieving a live birth, with some spending over $100,000. These costs don't include the emotional toll of repeated failures or the medical risks associated with multiple procedures.

• Studies show average IVF success rates are 27-35% per cycle for women under 35, declining with age
• Most couples require 2-4 IVF cycles before success or abandoning treatment
• RRM surgical interventions show 40-70% pregnancy rates within 12-24 months post-treatment
• Insurance coverage for RRM diagnostics and treatments varies but is improving as evidence grows

RRM Value Proposition

RRM addresses root causes rather than symptoms. When we restore normal reproductive function through targeted treatment, couples can conceive naturally for years afterward. This contrasts with IVF, which must be repeated for each desired pregnancy and doesn't address underlying health conditions.

RRM also provides transparent pricing with detailed treatment plans upfront. Couples know their total investment before beginning, unlike IVF where costs can escalate unpredictably across multiple failed cycles.

RRM's cause-based approach typically costs less overall than multiple IVF cycles while restoring natural reproductive function for ongoing fertility.
