The best fertility clinics in Mississippi aren’t necessarily the clinics with the highest reported success rate or the shortest drive from home.

The right fit depends on the clinic’s experience with patients like you, embryology laboratory, treatment options, IVF volume and, if gestational surrogacy is part of your plans, experience screening gestational carriers and performing embryo transfers.

Mississippi has relatively few fertility clinics to compare. Depending on where you live, treatment may require regular travel to the Jackson area or the Gulf Coast.

That can matter during IVF, when monitoring appointments may occur several times before an egg retrieval.

This guide compares Mississippi clinics using standardized SART data, including 2024 clinic outcomes. It also explains how success rates, IVF services, costs and gestational carrier experience can affect your choice.

Fertility Clinics in Mississippi

Mississippi intended parents have a relatively small number of in-state fertility clinics, so the differences between providers can carry more weight than they might in a larger market.

For intended parents comparing care by location, Mississippi Reproductive Medicine is in Flowood in the Jackson metro area, while Center for Reproductive Medicine’s satellite office is in D’Iberville on the Gulf Coast.

If neither is close to home, travel and monitoring requirements should become part of your clinic comparison.

The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology is a professional organization for assisted reproductive technology providers in the United States. SART member clinics report treatment and outcome information using standardized measures, giving patients a more consistent basis for comparison than individual marketing claims.

SART also cautions patients against treating clinic statistics as rankings. Age, diagnosis, treatment type and patient population can all affect reported outcomes.

Featured clinics include:

• Center for Reproductive Medicine (D’Iberville)
• Mississippi Reproductive Medicine, PLLC (Flowood)

The clinics featured in this guide are SART member clinics with laboratory accreditation through the College of American Pathologists (CAP) or The Joint Commission. Unless otherwise noted, success-rate data is based on SART’s 2024 clinic data.

Center for Reproductive Medicine (Satellite office)

Address: 11505 Cinema Drive, Suite 13, D’Iberville, MS 39540
Phone: (251) 438-4200

Center for Reproductive Medicine’s D’Iberville satellite office offers services relevant to IVF, donor-assisted reproduction and gestational surrogacy. Its Gulf Coast location may also reduce travel for intended parents in southern Mississippi.

Services offered:

• Donor egg
• Donor embryo
• Egg cryopreservation
• Embryo cryopreservation
• Female couple
• Male couple
• Mental health
• PGT
• Single men
• Single women

The clinic lists donor egg and donor embryo services as well as gestational carrier treatment.

 For intended parents pursuing surrogacy, gestational carrier experience matters because the fertility clinic will establish its medical requirements for a prospective surrogate, review her records and determine whether she is medically cleared for transfer.

The service list is also relevant to LGBTQ+ intended parents. Center for Reproductive Medicine lists services for male couples, female couples, single men and single women.

Those categories don’t tell you everything about the clinic’s experience with a particular family-building plan, so ask about the treatment you expect to use, including donor eggs, donor sperm or gestational surrogacy where applicable.

You can review the clinic’s 2024 SART outcome data when comparing the figures below with other fertility clinics.

2024 Frozen Embryo Transfer With PGT-A

Live Birth Measure	Under 35	35–37	38–40	41–42	Over 42
Live Birth Per Single Embryo Transfer	48.3%	20%	5/16	1/5	1/2

2024 Frozen Embryo Transfer Without PGT-A

Live Birth Measure	Under 35	35–37	38–40	41–42	Over 42
Live Birth Per Single Embryo Transfer	42.3%	7/19	5/10	0/0	0/1

The sample size behind each result matters.

A result of 1/2 represents only two transfers, so it shouldn’t carry the same weight in your comparison as a percentage based on substantially more transfers.

Mississippi Reproductive Medicine, PLLC

Address: 2500 Lakeland Drive, Flowood, MS 39232
Phone: 601-936-3650

Mississippi Reproductive Medicine offers IVF, donor-assisted reproduction, fertility preservation, PGT and gestational carrier services from its Flowood location in the Jackson metro area.

Services offered:

• Donor egg
• Donor embryo
• Egg cryopreservation
• Embryo cryopreservation
• Female couple
• Gestational carrier
• Outside monitoring
• PGT
• Single women

The clinic lists donor egg and donor embryo treatment along with gestational carrier services. Its service information also specifically lists female couples and single women.

LGBTQ+ intended parents should compare the services relevant to their own family-building plan and ask the clinic directly about its experience with their expected combination of IVF, donor treatment and gestational surrogacy.

For intended parents who live farther from Flowood, outside monitoring is another service worth discussing during the consultation.

Ask which ultrasounds and bloodwork can be completed closer to home and which appointments must take place at the fertility clinic.

The clinic’s 2024 SART outcome data provides the source data for the transfer results below.

2024 Frozen Embryo Transfer With PGT-A

Live Birth Measure	Under 35	35–37	38–40	41–42	Over 42
Live Birth Per Single Embryo Transfer	56.5%	50%	10/16	0/2	3/4

2024 Frozen Embryo Transfer Without PGT-A

Live Birth Measure	Under 35	35–37	38–40	41–42	Over 42
Live Birth Per Single Embryo Transfer	5/9	0/0	0/3	0/0	0/0

Some age groups contain very few transfers. The 3/4 result in the over-42 PGT-A category, for example, represents four transfers.

Looking at the underlying volume prevents a small group from appearing more predictive than it is.

How to Compare Fertility Clinic Success Rates

When comparing fertility clinic success rates, focus on live birth rates for patients and treatments similar to yours, then check how many transfers are behind each result.

The 2024 data doesn’t support naming one Mississippi clinic as having the highest IVF success rate overall. Results vary by age, PGT-A use and treatment volume.

SART’s guidance on comparing IVF success rates explains why clinic outcomes shouldn’t be treated as rankings.

Live birth rates are generally more useful than pregnancy rates because they measure whether treatment resulted in a live birth.

Age at egg retrieval also matters. For gestational surrogacy, the age categories generally refer to the person whose eggs were retrieved, not the surrogate.

Pay attention to sample size, too.

Three live births from four transfers may produce a high percentage, but it provides less information than a result based on dozens of comparable transfers.

Compare results based on your age group, egg source, PGT-A status and type of embryo transfer whenever possible.

Understanding the IVF Process

IVF creates embryos in a laboratory for transfer to an intended parent or, in gestational surrogacy, to a surrogate.

Treatment begins with a fertility evaluation and an individualized IVF protocol. Ovarian stimulation medications help multiple eggs mature while blood tests and ultrasounds monitor the response.

During egg retrieval, a physician removes eggs from the ovarian follicles. Mature eggs are fertilized in an embryology laboratory, where resulting embryos are monitored as they develop.

Cleveland Clinic’s overview of the IVF treatment process explains these stages in more detail.

Depending on your treatment plan, embryos may undergo PGT-A or PGT-M. Embryos that won’t be transferred immediately can be frozen for later use.

For intended parents pursuing surrogacy, cryopreservation allows embryos to remain stored until a surrogate has been matched, medically cleared and legally cleared for transfer.

Because the embryology lab handles fertilization, embryo culture, freezing, thawing and potentially embryo biopsy, its capabilities should factor into your clinic comparison.

Average IVF Costs in Mississippi

IVF costs in Mississippi vary based on the clinic, medications, testing and laboratory services your treatment requires but average costs land in the $20,000-$25,000 range.

Ask each clinic whether its estimate includes:

• Fertility testing and consultation
• Stimulation medications and monitoring
• Egg retrieval and anesthesia
• Fertilization and laboratory fees
• ICSI, if needed
• Embryo freezing and storage
• PGT-A and embryo biopsy, if chosen
• Donor eggs or sperm, if needed
• Frozen embryo transfer and medications

This overview of Mississippi IVF cost estimates provides additional context for potential expenses.

 For comparison purposes, request an itemized estimate directly from each clinic.

Insurance may also affect your out-of-pocket cost. Confirm both whether the clinic participates with your plan and whether your benefits cover the specific services you need.

Diagnostic testing, medications, IVF, genetic testing, cryopreservation and embryo transfer may be treated differently.

If you’re creating embryos for surrogacy, budget IVF separately from agency fees, surrogate compensation, legal services, insurance planning, escrow and other surrogacy expenses.

Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Fertility Clinic

Before choosing a clinic, ask questions that clarify its experience with your treatment, total costs and requirements for gestational surrogacy.

Ask the Clinic	Why It Matters
What is your live birth rate for patients in my age group?	Overall clinic rates may not reflect your circumstances.
How many IVF cycles do you perform each year?	Volume gives success rates useful context.
How often do you perform gestational carrier transfers?	It shows how routinely the clinic handles surrogacy cases.
Do you have an on-site embryology lab?	It tells you where key laboratory procedures take place.
What optional treatments could increase my costs?	It identifies expenses beyond the initial quote.
What happens if my first IVF cycle isn’t successful?	It clarifies possible next steps and additional costs.
Can I complete monitoring closer to home?	It may reduce travel during IVF.
What are your requirements for gestational carriers?	Clinic requirements can affect surrogate eligibility.
How do you coordinate with agencies and attorneys?	Surrogacy requires medical and legal coordination.

If you plan to use a gestational surrogate, ask about carrier requirements early. They can affect which prospective surrogates qualify and what screening must occur before transfer.

How Fertility Clinics Work with Surrogacy Agencies

Fertility clinics provide reproductive medical care.

Surrogacy agencies may handle surrogate recruitment, pre-screening, matching, case management and coordination with other professionals.

This overview of agency and clinic roles explains how those responsibilities differ.

After embryos have been created, an agency-supported process generally proceeds as follows:

1. You and a prospective surrogate agree to a match.
2. The fertility clinic reviews her medical records.
3. The surrogate travels to the clinic for medical screening and clearance.
4. Intended parents and the surrogate complete legal contracts with separate attorneys.
5. The clinic performs the embryo transfer and early pregnancy monitoring before care transitions to the surrogate’s OB provider.

If you’re comparing clinics for surrogacy, ask how often each clinic handles gestational carrier cases, what screening it requires and which appointments require the surrogate to travel.

A surrogate can live outside Mississippi and still work with your fertility clinic.

In an agency-supported arrangement, the agency typically coordinates required travel and scheduling for screening and embryo transfer. Confirm how the agency budgets and reimburses those travel expenses.

Talk With a Surrogacy Professional About Choosing the Right Fertility Clinic

If you plan to use a gestational surrogate, include the clinic’s gestational carrier experience in your comparison.

When comparing the best fertility clinics in Mississippi, consider outcomes for patients like you, treatment volume, laboratory capabilities, costs, travel requirements and experience with gestational carrier cases.

A surrogacy professional can explain how clinic requirements may affect screening, matching, scheduling and embryo transfer. Choose a clinic that fits both your IVF needs and your plans for surrogacy.
