📢 Last week, the Trump administration announced a new initiative that could make IVF more affordable starting in 2026. Through a partnership with EMD Serono, select medications like Gonal-f, Ovidrel, and Cetrotide will be offered at discounted rates via TrumpRX.​

​These efforts are part of a larger goal to make fertility care more accessible and affordable nationwide in the years to come.​

​⚠️ Don’t wait to start your journey. These updates are promising, but not yet active—and many details remain uncertain. For many patients, time is their most valuable resource.​

​If you’re experiencing infertility or struggling to build your family now, it’s important not to delay seeking help.​
