POLICY REGARDING AGE AND INFERTILITY TREATMENT
Telehealth counseling support appointments available.
One of the most challenging aspects of the infertility experience is dealing with the emotions related to medical treatment, the uncertainty about outcomes, and the challenge of having to make important decisions. Infertility can be one of the most difficult life events that an individual or couple experiences. Coping with making many intense medical decisions and the uncertainty that infertility brings can create an emotional upheaval for many, and that is where the team at our fertility clinic in NJ can help.
Our fertility doctors and Wellness Team are here to help you learn how to cope with the physical and emotional challenges associated with infertility. For some, infertility can be physically and emotionally painful, an intrusive process. Others need help focusing on how to deal with another’s responses, how to choose the right medical treatment, or how to begin exploring other family building options. For others, it may be on how to control, stress, anxiety, or depression.

Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system. In addition to traditional acupuncture, we also offer needle-free laser acupuncture based on the same principles.
In a large prospective randomized controlled study conducted at RMA, laser acupuncture treatment performed pre-and-post embryo transfer during an IVF cycle resulted in a significant improvement in implantation rates compared to traditional needle acupuncture.
Download ResearchAt RMANJ, treatment with laser acupuncture costs $225 and can be conveniently scheduled before and after embryo transfer. Payment is required at time of service, some patients may be able to seek insurance reimbursement.
Traditional acupuncture at RMANJ costs $175 for an initial consultation which includes treatment, with follow-up sessions at $100 each session. Many patients prefer to purchase multiple sessions at a discounted rate, $360 for four treatment sessions, $850 for ten treatment sessions.
