“At Vitae, the most effective fertility treatment, IVF, isn’t on the table for patients who are older than 35, whose window to get pregnant is shrinking… These patients may not have months to spend on diagnostic care before attempting more involved fertility treatments.” ⬇️

Vitae Clinic represents the new frontier of the anti-abortion movement. National anti-abortion activists have called it a model of what reproductive health care should look like in the post-Roe v. Wade landscape.

"'I can't, in good conscience, recommend that people delay care,' [Dr. Klipstein] says, citing the lack of detail in Trump's announcement and the risk pausing the hormone treatments could pose to both patients' health and their chances of conceiving." www.politico.com/newsletters/...

If you're attending #ASRM2025 in San Antonio, join Chief Advocacy and Policy Officer Sean Tipton and the Public Affairs team as they break down the White House's IVF policy announcement and what it means for providers and patients. ⬇️

"Gran doesn’t have much hope left that IVF costs will drop enough after Trump’s announcement. 'They have the ability to put the onus on insurance companies,' Gran said. 'There really isn’t a solution for our community until we have insurance coverage.'" www.newsfromthestates.com/article/trum...

🚨 SOUTH CAROLINIANS: SB 323, a.k.a. the "Unborn Protection Act," has a new hearing on 11/18/25. Urge your senators to vote NO on this bill, which will ban abortion and criminalize providers and patients for sharing essential health information if passed: asrm.quorum.us/campaign/142...

"'These policy announcements are not going to accomplish what the president said he wanted to accomplish, that is, to make IVF available to everybody,' Tipton said. 'This policy is not nearly as valuable as law.'" thehill.com/homenews/556...

"Sean Tipton, chief advocacy and policy officer at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, which represents IVF providers, called the announcement a 'crucial first step,' but said it still doesn’t go far enough to boost affordability." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

“‘I think it is a whole lot less than he promised in the campaign,’ said Sean Tipton, the chief advocacy and policy officer at ASRM, the leading medical group for IVF. ‘On the other hand, it’s a whole lot more than we had feared was going to happen.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

As @seantipton.bsky.social of @asrmorg.bsky.social told me, there are several ways Trump could further expand IVF access, including by requiring coverage for federal workers & members of the military “As the CEO of a big employer, [POTUS] should make sure all his employees have access to care."

ASRM strongly objects to staff cuts at the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) and the devastating impact they will have on women's health, from contraception to fertility care. Read our full statement: www.asrm.org/news-and-eve...

"For some people, the treatments associated with RRM might be helpful. The problem, argue ACOG and ASRM, is that RRM... will limit access to the full range of evidence-based fertility care interventions." slate.com/news-and-pol...

PRIMED alum Dr. Nicole Ulrich urges providers to get involved in advocacy: "Know that you have an incredible amount of power to make change... You will be able to help more than that person in front of you in the exam room. You can help your whole community." www.healio.com/news/endocri...

"Statistically, you or someone you love will be diagnosed with infertility or cancer at a young age. Ask yourself if you are OK with a loved one being unable to build the families of their dreams due to circumstance and tremendous financial barriers." captimes.com/opinion/gues...
