Discover how we provide fertility support for the militaryA top priority at our Southern California fertility clinic is providing fertility support for the military. In the words of Dr. Royster, “Our men and women in the Armed Forces give so much to selflessly protect our freedoms and way of life. Helping them overcome barriers to family building is the least I can do to thank them for their service.”

We help members of the military and their spouses overcome these barriers by offering fertility treatments and fertility preservation. We also connect them with discounts on important fertility medications.

Fertility support for the military

Combat injuries can affect fertility health. Because of this, we offer a range of fertility treatments that can support these specific needs, in addition to the more typical fertility challenges.

Diagnostic testing. This first step of fertility care allows our doctors to assess a man or a woman’s fertility health, which can inform family planning. Insurance providers like TRICARE often cover this initial testing.

Egg freezing. An important part of fertility support for the military is preserving the fertility of women who would like to have children in the future. Egg freezing allows them to save their healthy eggs for later use.

Embryo freezing. This option is for couples who want to have children at some point in the future. Embryo freezing involves the doctor retrieving the woman’s eggs and an embryologist fertilizing them with the man’s sperm, before freezing the resulting embryos.

Our Southern California fertility clinic also offers more comprehensive support like intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) as well as other effective fertility treatments.

We also help our patients who serve or have served in the armed forces in another way. We discover what their insurance will cover. Our team also connects them with discount programs like Compassionate Care, the Compassionate Corps Program and the Heart for Heroes Program.
