This is not medical advice.

1. No professional relationship

Reading this site does not create a doctor-patient relationship, a therapist-client relationship, or any other professional relationship between you and InfertileTruth or its contributors. We have no information about your individual medical history, no access to your records, and no ability to examine you.

2. No diagnosis or treatment

Information on this site, including any cost calculator, success-rate estimate, glossary entry, or article, is intended only to help you understand the general landscape of fertility care. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment recommendation, and not a prediction of your individual outcome. Diagnostic and treatment decisions for infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, male factor infertility, and every other condition discussed on this site must be made by a qualified clinician based on your specific situation.

3. Cost and success-rate estimates are approximations

Our cost estimates are derived from publicly available clinic pricing, patient-reported figures, and aggregated industry data. They are approximations only. Actual prices vary by clinic, protocol, medication regimen, geography, and insurance plan, and can change without notice. Always confirm current pricing directly with the clinic or provider you are considering.

Our success-rate figures reflect national CDC and SART averages, broken down by age. They are population-level statistics, not individual predictions. Your reproductive endocrinologist is the best source of personalized prognosis information based on your specific test results, history, and clinic-level outcomes.

4. Insurance information may not be current

State insurance mandates, employer benefits, and individual plan terms change. Our state-by-state guides reflect our best understanding of current law, but are not legal advice and may not capture recent legislative changes or carrier-specific policy interpretations. For an authoritative answer about what your specific plan covers, contact your insurance carrier and your state's insurance department.

5. Emotional support content

Our pages on grief, mental health, relationships, and choosing to be childfree are educational. They are not therapy. If you are struggling, please consider reaching out to a licensed mental-health professional with experience in reproductive loss and fertility-related distress. If you are in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (dial or text 988 from anywhere in the United States) or the equivalent crisis service in your country.

6. Always tell your providers what you have read

If a page on this site raises a question, write the question down and bring it to your next appointment. The most useful role we can play is helping you ask sharper questions of the professionals who actually know your case.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, InfertileTruth and its operators, contributors, and affiliates disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from reliance on information found on this site. See our full terms of service for the legal version.

8. Questions or corrections

If you believe a specific page contains a medically inaccurate statement, please tell us through the contact form. We take corrections seriously — see our editorial policy for how we handle them.
