Treatment Options
We know fertility care can feel overwhelming, and we’re committed to making your experience as gentle and supportive as possible. At our Wilmington clinic, we have everything you need, from testing to treatment. We offer a complete range of fertility services in a caring, patient-centered environment, so you never feel alone in this process.
Fertility Testing
Comprehensive fertility testing for both men and women.
Fertility Consultation
During your first visit, your physician will review your medical history and outline the next steps.
In vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF is the most well-known and successful form of fertility treatment available.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI, or artificial insemination, is a very common non-surgical fertility treatment.
Genetic Testing
When preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is paired with IVF, it can increase the chance of a successful pregnancy.
Egg Freezing
Fertility preservation allows women to freeze their eggs to use at a later date.
Additional services include ovulation induction, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), fertility bloodwork, ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), saline sonogram, LGBTQ+ family building, and genetic testing for sex selection.
Financial Counseling
We know fertility care is an emotional investment—and a financial one too. That’s why our financial counselors are here to support you with kindness, clarity, and guidance every step of the way. We’ll help you understand your insurance coverage and explore payment options that feel manageable. We work with a wide range of providers:
We accept many major insurance plans and partner with trusted names like:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield

We also work with the following financing partners: PatientFi, ARC Fertility, Capexmd, and Lending Club.

Sometimes the best care happens when you're in your own space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In 2024, the price range for a single IVF cycle in the United States falls between $14,000 and $20,000 for those without insurance coverage. Exact IVF costs depend on the treatment center, the services, and insurance coverage.
Each patient at our Wilmington office is paired with one of our financial coordinators, who will be your concierge in all things related to affording care. They will call your insurance, provide financial options, and inform you of any discount programs available.
IVF is a relatively quick process that usually takes 10-14 days. The timeline depends on a variety of factors. These include the individual patient, their response to their prescribed medication, and how the eggs develop during the process.
Insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is not mandated by law in North Carolina. Some companies may cover optional infertility treatment for employees, but this varies by employer. A bill was recently introduced called House Bill 635, which, if passed, will require large group health plans to provide coverage for fertility diagnostic care and treatment, including up to three cycles of IVF.
You can find the full details on mandated IVF coverage in North Carolina at Resolve.org.
Yes, Dr. Donna Session is accepting IVF second opinion consultations. A second opinion consult may be valuable for patients experiencing failed IVF cycles at another fertility clinic. Contact our office if you are interested in switching fertility clinics.
Yes, we help single individuals and couples build families from all sexualities. We are even recognized by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation as an LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality top performer. Learn more about LGBTQ+ fertility options.
IVF actually has a lower risk of multiple pregnancy compared to other fertility treatments. This is because you decide how many of the embryos are transferred into the uterus. If you transfer one embryo, there is about a 1% chance that embryo will split and lead to a twin pregnancy. Conversely, if you want to increase your chances of a multiple pregnancy, you can implant more than one.
