Personalized care has never been easier to access.

Learn about your fertility with personalized care from Sesame.

You’ll be guided through early fertility planning by a Sesame provider trained in reproductive medicine and diagnostic care, helping you understand next steps with clarity and confidence.
Initial fertility consultations
Your initial fertility consultation is a one-on-one video visit with a dedicated Sesame provider who takes the time to understand your symptoms, concerns, and goals and guide you through every stage of your fertility journey.

Follow-up visits are available as needed, so your plan can evolve with you. And with unlimited provider messaging, you’ll be able to ask questions, share updates, and get guidance between visits, so you’re never navigating fertility alone.

Your provider can order diagnostic tests and labs to assess your ovarian reserve (egg count) and overall hormone health, including: AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) test: Helps estimate your egg count by indicating how many eggs you may have remaining. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) test: Shows how hard your brain is working to stimulate your ovaries; higher levels can suggest lower ovarian reserve. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) test: Screens thyroid function, which plays an important role in ovulation, cycles, and fertility. Ultrasounds: Helps provide a count of follicles in the ovaries, which helps understand fertility potential. Semen analysis: For male patients, this test can assess sperm count, movement, and shape to help understand male fertility.

Plus, we’ve negotiated low cash-pay pricing with Quest Diagnostics with no markups—so you get transparent, affordable diagnostic testing without needing insurance.

Based on your initial fertility and any diagnostic test results, your provider will create a personalized fertility plan tailored to your body, goals, and timeline. You’ll receive clear, expert guidance to help maximize your chances of conceiving, including lifestyle recommendations, prescriptions for fertility medications if appropriate, and guidance on additional testing or procedures.

Get seamless access to specialized care at IVI RMA North America's network of clinics

If specialized treatment becomes part of your journey, Sesame helps coordinate a smooth transition to in-person care with IVI RMA, the world’s leading reproductive medicine group.

Please note that IVI RMA services are discounted but not included in the cost of this program.
IUI, IVF, egg freezing & more
IVI RMA fertility experts can provide advanced in-clinic procedures such as IUI, egg retrieval, egg freezing and embryo transfer, as well as diagnostic imaging like HSG or HyCoSy to closely evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes.
IVI RMA's network of clinics offer specialized testing and expertise, including endometrial receptivity analysis (checking when the uterus is most ready for pregnancy) and genetic guidance to help explain inherited conditions or embryo testing results.
IVI RMA specialists help manage more challenging fertility situations, like very low or absent sperm, blocked fallopian tubes, or IVF cycles that need close monitoring and careful adjustment of medications to support your treatment journey.

Common online fertility medication options to support your plan

Your provider may prescribe these medications as part of your fertility plan. Medication costs are not included in the subscription price and will vary based on your insurance status and pharmacy.

Personalized fertility support from providers you can trust.

It’s a monthly program offering personalized fertility care—including virtual visits, unlimited messaging, lab ordering, medication management, and referrals to IVI RMA for specialized treatments. It’s for anyone preparing to conceive, currently trying, or managing a fertility diagnosis.

It’s $119/month or $99/month for Costco members. The subscription includes an initial visit, unlimited messaging, fertility planning, lab ordering, cycle support, medication management, and coordination with IVI RMA.

Costs for medications, labs (offered at cost), IUI/IVF procedures, HSG, egg retrieval, genetic testing, and cryopreservation/storage are not included in the subscription price.

Common fertility labs include AMH, FSH, TSH, estradiol, prolactin, and partner testing such as semen analysis. Your clinician will tailor orders based on your symptoms and goals.

Yes! To upload relevant labs and images prior to your fertility program visit, simply follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Sesame account
  2. Navigate to sesamecare.com/account/documents
  3. Browse for or drag and drop your file(s)

Please note Sesame's guidelines for upload below:

  • Accepted image files: PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC
  • Accepted document files: PDF, DOC, DOCX
  • File size up to 6MB

You do not need insurance for the Sesame fertility subscription itself—our visits and messaging are cash-pay with clear pricing.

If you move forward with in-person care at IVI RMA, they typically bill your insurance for the initial specialist consultation, and many patients have at least some coverage for that visit. Coverage for procedures like IUI and IVF varies by plan, and the IVI RMA team will review your specific benefits with you to help you understand what your care covers.

Yes. Sesame’s fertility providers can evaluate your symptoms, order appropriate labs, diagnose common fertility-impacting conditions. They can also prescribe fertility medications like ovulation induction (e.g., Letrozole, Clomid).

If specialized care is appropriate, your Sesame clinician will coordinate a direct referral to IVI RMA for procedures like IUI, IVF, advanced diagnostics, or egg freezing.

When your Sesame provider refers you to IVI RMA, they’ll send a concise referral packet that includes:

  • Your basic details (name, date of birth)
  • Relevant medical history and current medications
  • Your fertility history, cycles, and goals (for example, trying to conceive vs. egg freezing)
  • A summary of your Sesame visits and any fertility medications prescribed
  • Key lab results and why you’re being referred

This helps your IVI RMA team hit the ground running, so your first specialist visit can focus on next steps rather than repeating every detail.

Yes. While your Sesame fertility subscription is cash-pay, IVI RMA usually bills your insurance for the initial fertility specialist consultation when you move into in-clinic care. Their team will help you understand what your plan covers before you proceed with any specialized treatments.

Patients begin their fertility journey with Sesame's virtual care team, which is available in all 50 states. Through virtual visits, you can complete consultations, receive evaluations, review personalized treatment plans, and manage much of your care remotely.

If more specialized services are needed—such as advanced monitoring, procedures, or IVF treatment—you may be referred to an IVI RMA location for in-person care. Many patients start virtually and then travel to a physical location when hands-on treatment or lab services are required.

  • States with IVI RMA physical clinic locations (Centers capable of in-person consultations, diagnostic testing, and cycle monitoring): CA, CO, DE, FL, IA, IN, MA, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, TX, UT, WA
  • States with IVI RMA IVF laboratory capabilities (Full-service IVF centers capable of performing egg retrievals, embryo culture, transfers, and end-to-end IVF services): CA, CO, DE, FL, MA, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, TX, WA
  • States where IVI RMA offers virtual treatment (Available for telehealth services within these states): AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, IA, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MN, MO, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WY

In short, you can begin care virtually on Sesame from anywhere in the U.S. If in-person treatment becomes part of your plan, you may travel to one of IVI RMA’s physical clinic locations listed above. Click here for a full list of cities and states with in-person IVI RMA locations.

Yes! If you’re referred to IVI RMA from Sesame, you may be eligible for 10% off select fertility procedures, including egg freezing and IVF (and related services). IVI RMA can also help you explore ways to make treatment more manageable by offering financing options to spread out your costs over time.

And if you have health insurance, IVI RMA’s team can work with your insurance to verify benefits and help you understand what may be covered versus what you’d pay out of pocket.
