Clinical Trials Offer Lower Cost Fertility Options

One way to make fertility treatments more affordable is participating in clinical trials or research studies.
Different studies have different eligibility requirements, and I’m thinking a clinical study is not something you want to do if you don’t want more folks in white coats all up in your business. But if you are at a stage in your life where you don’t want to stop trying to conceive, but you aren’t quite sure how you will afford that next round of meds or another attempt at IVF, (and like many of us, you now spread your legs for anyone with a hospital ID…) clinical trials might be an option to explore.
As medical and, well, clinical as it all sounds, not all studies are invasive or medically-intense. For example, the American Medical College of Homeopathy is currently seeking participants for a research study on natural fertility. Ideal candidates are couples with fertility issues who are looking for more natural and less expensive alternatives to conventional therapies and those who have failed conventional infertility treatment such as in vitro fertilization.
