How we work
Our Commitment to Accurate Fertility Information
Every page on BestOnlineFertilityCare is created and maintained under published standards. Here’s what that means in practice.
Our Editorial ProcessEvidence-based sourcing
We prioritize government health agencies, professional societies such as ASRM and ACOG, peer-reviewed journals and academic institutions.
Medical review when appropriate
Clinical pages are reviewed by licensed professionals in the relevant field. Review status and dates are shown on every page.
Fact checking
Claims, statistics and citations are checked against original sources before publication.
Editorial independence
Our editors decide what we cover and what we say. Commercial teams have no say in editorial content.
Content updates
We revisit content on a schedule and whenever significant new evidence or guidance is published.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and note significant corrections on the page.
Transparent disclosures
Any commercial relationship is clearly labeled, and it never affects our evaluations. Pregnancy is never guaranteed.
Medical review
Reviewed with help from qualified professionals
Our medical review board is being appointed.
We only list licensed professionals whose credentials we have verified. Until reviewers are appointed, pages show “medical review pending” rather than a name. Learn how reviewers are selected.
