With compassion and expertise, your care team creates a personalized treatment plan to help address underlying medical conditions affecting your ability to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Helping you build your family
Everyone’s fertility journey is different. That’s why we tailor our high-quality reproductive services to your unique needs.
Your doctors seek to understand you as a whole person, providing individualized care to meet your needs throughout your treatment. You’ll work closely with a physician specialist and care team that may include obstetrics-gynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, or urology. Our specialists are fellowship trained, board-certified, or board-eligible.
When you get fertility care at Kaiser Permanente, your care team can view your health history through your electronic health record. That makes it easy for your doctors and care team to work together to provide seamless care throughout your fertility journey. And it means you don’t have to repeat your story or personal preferences at every visit — or to every specialist.
Your care team follows evidence-based guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the American Urological Association, prioritizing patient safety and giving you the best chance for a healthy baby.

Getting started with fertility care
Talk to your ob-gyn or care team about your plans to have a family, your fertility history, and any concerns you have. They can guide you to a specialist in reproductive endocrinology, fertility, or urology as needed.
Your care team may order fertility tests to help determine your treatment options. Tests can include:
- Hormone blood tests
- Imaging of reproductive organs (ultrasound)
- Imaging of the uterus (saline infusion sonogram)
- X-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes (hysterosalpingogram)
- Semen analysis to check the number and quality of sperm
