About
Ovum Health is a telehealth-based fertility and preconception care platform designed to help women understand and address the root causes of fertility challenges without resorting to IVF. Patients connect with a dedicated Primary Fertility Provider (PFP) who orders lab work and reproductive imaging, then builds a fully personalized treatment plan based on the results. All appointments are conducted by phone or video call, making expert fertility care accessible from home. The service covers a wide range of conditions — including PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and ovulation disorders — using evidence-based oral therapies and nutritional guidance. Ovum also offers its "Healthy Mamas, Healthy Babies" program, which supports women managing conditions like gestational diabetes risk during pregnancy. A free anonymous patient engagement app is available for asking medical experts personal health questions. Insurance coverage is accepted, dramatically lowering the financial barrier to specialized fertility care. Currently serving residents across more than a dozen U.S. states, with nationwide expansion underway. Whether you're planning a first pregnancy or navigating perimenopause, Ovum provides clinical, compassionate support every step of the way.
