Can anyone tell me if you have to pay the orientation fee for every cycle if you stay with the same clinic or is it a one time fee?

Ours was a one-time fee.
See my about me page for details on our IF journey including adoption and other avenues.

In our clinic, as long as it is within a year, then you don't have to pay again. If over, we have to pay again.

3 CONSECUTIVE IVF CYCLES AT 43 YEARS OLD = 16 eggs > 13 embryos > 10 transferred > 1 BABY!!!!
