An unfulfilled desire to have a child often begins quietly, with patience, hope, and the thought, “Maybe it will work next month.” Over time, however, the waiting can become emotionally challenging. Many couples experience this phase as stressful, marked by uncertainty, pressure, or well-intentioned advice from others.
Taking the step to visit a fertility clinic can feel daunting. We would like to make that step easier for you. An initial consultation is not a commitment to treatment. It is an opportunity to gain clarity, receive guidance, and have an open conversation on equal terms.
When Should We Schedule a Consultation?
If pregnancy has not occurred after one year of regular unprotected intercourse, we generally recommend a fertility evaluation. For women aged 35 and older, an evaluation is recommended after approximately six months.
If there are known medical conditions or concerns about reduced fertility, seeking advice earlier may be beneficial.
In general, you are welcome to contact us at any time if you would like clarity about your fertility situation.
Individualized Advice Is Essential
Every couple has unique circumstances and questions. There is no single standard path, only the path that is right for you. Since the causes of infertility are almost equally likely to originate from the woman, the man, or both partners, we encourage couples to attend the consultation together whenever possible. This allows us to plan a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation from the outset and consider both perspectives.
Detailed information about our diagnostic services can be found on the relevant sections of our website.
What Treatment Options Are Available?
Depending on the underlying cause, several treatment options may be considered, including:
Cycle monitoring with intercourse at the optimal time
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
In vitro fertilization (IVF)
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
Frozen embryo transfer (FET)
Treatment using donor sperm
Coverage by Statutory Health Insurance
Under certain conditions, married heterosexual couples may be eligible for partial reimbursement of fertility treatment costs through Germany’s statutory health insurance system in accordance with Section 27a of the German Social Code (SGB V).
The statutory age limits are:
Women: 25 to 40 years
Men: 25 to 50 years
Additional requirements include a medical indication for treatment and an approved treatment plan submitted before treatment begins.
In most cases, statutory health insurance covers 50% of the costs for insemination (IUI), IVF, and ICSI treatments. During your consultation, we will determine whether these requirements apply to your individual situation and assist you with the application process.
Private health insurance providers often cover fertility treatment costs. Please contact your private insurer or public-sector aid provider (Beihilfe) for information about your individual coverage.
