Conceptions Reproductive Associates of Colorado, operating as part of the Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA) network, is located in Lafayette, Colorado — a city in Boulder County between Boulder and Denver on the US-36 corridor. The Lafayette location is convenient for patients in Boulder, Broomfield, Erie, Longmont, Superior, and Louisville who seek fertility care without making the full commute to Denver. Conceptions Reproductive Associates was one of Colorado's most recognized independent fertility programs before joining the RMA national network, and the combined entity brings local expertise together with RMA's research infrastructure and laboratory quality protocols. Colorado does not have a statewide IVF insurance mandate, making cost planning an important part of the treatment conversation for Colorado patients.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Conceptions | RMA's physician team includes board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who continue the clinical legacy of the Conceptions program in Colorado. RMA is a physician-founded organization known for its research-oriented approach to reproductive medicine, and the Conceptions Colorado program inherits this orientation. The clinical team conducts comprehensive initial evaluations including ovarian reserve assessment (AMH, antral follicle count), uterine evaluation, hormonal workup, and semen analysis. Patients should confirm the current physician roster at the Lafayette location and ask about any subspecialty focus areas within the broader Conceptions | RMA Colorado team.

Conceptions Reproductive Associates | RMA provides a full range of ART and reproductive medicine services, including:
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) with ICSI and conventional insemination
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with partner or donor sperm
- Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) for elective and medically indicated fertility preservation
- Embryo cryopreservation and frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles
- Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A), structural rearrangements (PGT-SR), and monogenic diseases (PGT-M)
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and sonohysterogram for uterine and tubal evaluation
- Comprehensive fertility diagnostics including ovarian reserve assessment

Laboratory and Success Rates
Conceptions | RMA's embryology laboratory operates under RMA's network quality standards, which emphasize laboratory science, consistency, and continuous improvement. RMA as an organization has contributed to reproductive medicine research and has a data-driven approach to laboratory performance. Patients evaluating this practice should ask about ICSI fertilization rates, blastocyst development rates, and vitrification survival statistics. RMA's research orientation means the practice may be involved in clinical research studies — ask whether any offered protocols are part of research programs and what that means for your care.
Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
The Lafayette location on the US-36 corridor is a practical option for Boulder County and northwest metro Denver patients who want to access high-quality fertility care closer to home. Boulder is home to the University of Colorado and a significant tech and biotech workforce, and many Boulder-area patients have some of Colorado's most sophisticated health benefits. The drive from Boulder to Lafayette is under 15 minutes, making early-morning monitoring appointments far less disruptive than commuting to Denver. Patient experience factors worth evaluating include: monitoring appointment availability, the nursing team's responsiveness to portal communications, and cycle-day results communication speed.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Colorado does not have a statewide IVF insurance mandate. However, large Colorado employers — particularly in the tech, biotech, and hospital sectors — increasingly offer voluntary fertility benefits through platforms like Progyny. University of Colorado employees may have fertility benefits through their university health plan. For patients without coverage, Conceptions | RMA's financial team can outline pricing and multi-cycle program options. RMA's network scale sometimes allows for preferred pricing on pharmaceutical programs and multi-cycle packages. Third-party fertility financing through CapexMD and Prosper Healthcare Lending is available to Colorado patients, and HSA/FSA funds can be used for eligible fertility treatment expenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that Conceptions is now part of the RMA network? Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA) is a national physician-owned fertility network. When Conceptions joined RMA, it retained its local physician team and Colorado identity while gaining access to RMA's research infrastructure, laboratory quality protocols, and shared clinical knowledge. Patients receive local care from the same Conceptions physician team within a larger national network's quality framework.
Does the Lafayette location perform IVF egg retrievals and embryo transfers on-site? Confirm with the Lafayette office whether egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and embryology procedures occur at the Lafayette location or at another Conceptions | RMA Colorado site. Understanding the logistics of each procedure day is important for cycle planning.
What makes Boulder County fertility patients different from Denver fertility patients? Boulder County's population skews younger, more educated, and more health-conscious than the Denver metro average. Boulder-area patients often engage deeply with their treatment and ask detailed questions. The Conceptions | RMA team at Lafayette is well-positioned to provide the evidence-based, research-oriented care that this patient population values.
Can I bring my partner's frozen sperm from another facility to use at Conceptions | RMA? Yes, frozen sperm from a sperm bank or from a previous semen cryopreservation at another clinic can typically be transported to Conceptions | RMA for use in IUI or IVF. Ask the practice about their preferred transport protocol and any fees for receipt and storage of incoming specimens.
