Editorial Methodology
IVF Daddies is an independent consumer education platform. The content on this site is built on publicly available clinical, legal, and regulatory data, not proprietary research, paid relationships, or undisclosed commercial arrangements. This page explains how we evaluate sources, when we update content, and what we do not claim to be.
Primary Data Sources
Clinical and Scientific Data
- —CDC National ART Surveillance System (NASS), annual clinic-level outcome data.
- —SART (Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology). U.S. clinic outcome reporting.
- —ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology). European clinical guidelines and surveillance.
- —PubMed-indexed peer-reviewed literature, referenced with study context and limitation notes.
- —CDC Wonder and public health surveillance databases where applicable.
Legal and Regulatory Data
- —State statutes and court decisions: directly sourced, not summarized from secondary aggregators.
- —NCSL (National Conference of State Legislatures) for comparative state policy tracking.
- —Reproductive attorney resources and official bar association guidance where publicly available.
- —State insurance commissioner regulatory filings for mandate coverage analysis.
Financial and Cost Data
- —Published clinic fee schedules where accessible.
- —RESOLVE (National Infertility Association) patient cost surveys.
- —Publicly available pharmacy pricing for fertility medication benchmarking.
- —State insurance mandate tracking through official legislative and regulatory sources.
Industry Governance and Risk Data
- —Court records and public litigation documents for documented case references.
- —Regulatory body enforcement actions where publicly accessible.
- —Published investigative reporting from credentialed news organizations: cited with context.
- —No proprietary agency or clinic data is incorporated without explicit sourcing.
Accuracy Standards
All clinical figures are drawn from named public sources and presented with context about what they measure and what they do not. Population-level statistics are not presented as individual predictions.
Where clinical evidence is mixed or contested (e.g., PGT-A for younger patients, adjunct medications in luteal phase support), that uncertainty is stated explicitly in the content. We do not present unsettled debates as settled.
Legal information reflects publicly documented statutes and court decisions at the time of publication. Law changes. State-specific legal guidance requires a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.
Cost data reflects publicly available ranges and is inherently variable. No cost figure on this site constitutes a quote or guarantee.
Update Cadence
Clinical content
Reviewed against current SART/CDC annual data releases. Updated when major guideline changes are published by ASRM, ESHRE, or equivalent bodies.
Legal and cost content
Reviewed quarterly. State mandate data is updated following confirmed legislative or regulatory changes. Cost figures are updated annually at minimum.
Governance and due diligence content
Reviewed as new public documentation, litigation outcomes, or regulatory actions become available. Not updated on speculation.
Version stamps
All content pages carry a version stamp (e.g., v2026.1) indicating the major review cycle. This does not guarantee currency to the current day.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure
IVF Daddies does not accept payment from fertility clinics, surrogacy agencies, pharmaceutical companies, or legal service providers in exchange for content placement, editorial position, or favorable coverage.
When partner or affiliate relationships exist on commercial surfaces of the platform (such as service directories or referral tools), those relationships are disclosed within the relevant section. They do not influence editorial content on clinical, legal, or governance topics.
The platform has no financial interest in which clinic, agency, attorney, or treatment path a reader chooses. The content is designed to improve decision quality, not to direct decisions toward specific commercial outcomes.
What This Platform Is Not
A medical provider
IVF Daddies does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or individualized clinical advice. All clinical content is educational orientation, not a substitute for care from a licensed reproductive endocrinologist.
A legal services firm
Content covering surrogacy law, contract standards, and regulatory frameworks is educational. It does not constitute legal advice. Reproductive and family-building legal matters require a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.
A financial advisor
Cost figures and financing information are general reference data. They do not constitute financial advice or personalized planning.
A regulator or enforcement body
Governance content describes structural patterns and verification frameworks. It does not adjudicate the conduct of specific agencies, clinics, or individuals. No content on this platform is intended as an accusation against any named party.
Corrections Policy
Factual corrections are made promptly when errors are identified. Material corrections are noted within the affected content with a version stamp update. We do not silently revise content in ways that alter published factual claims. If you believe content contains an error, contact us with the specific page, the claim, and the supporting source.

Methodological Foundations
This platform is structured on the following principles:
- IVF is a closed laboratory system.
- All cycles operate under attrition physics.
- Aneuploidy is age-dependent and dominant.
- CLBR is the primary outcome metric.
- Add-ons are evaluated by live birth impact.
- IVF originated as a developmental genetics platform.
