Procreate Fertility Center of Virginia is located at 300 Medical Parkway in Chesapeake, Virginia — in the southern Hampton Roads medical corridor, serving patients from Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, and the broader South Hampton Roads communities who value having a dedicated fertility center on their side of the Elizabeth River. With a 4.2-star rating from 200 patient reviews, Procreate Fertility Center has established itself as a reputable independent fertility practice in a region where comprehensive REI care has historically required longer travel. The Medical Parkway address is within Chesapeake's major medical campus area, adjacent to established hospital infrastructure. Virginia does not have a state fertility insurance mandate; for a complete listing of Virginia fertility providers, see the Virginia fertility clinics directory.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Procreate Fertility Center of Virginia operates an on-site embryology laboratory at the Chesapeake location, supporting all phases of the IVF cycle including fertilization, blastocyst culture, PGT biopsy, and vitrification. Patients should request age-stratified cycle outcome data from the physician during the consultation to understand the clinic's results relative to the national benchmark. 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
Chesapeake is Virginia's second most populous city and one of the fastest-growing communities in the Hampton Roads region. Medical Parkway is a well-established healthcare corridor near Chesapeake Regional Medical Center and other major Chesapeake health facilities. For patients from Deep Creek, Western Branch, Greenbrier, and other Chesapeake communities — as well as patients from Suffolk, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight — Procreate Fertility Center on the south side of Hampton Roads provides a meaningful geographic alternative to crossing the water to Virginia Beach or Norfolk for fertility care.
The Hampton Roads region has a distinctive character that shapes patient needs: a heavy military presence, significant working-class and middle-class communities alongside more affluent waterfront areas, and a diverse population that includes large African American, Hispanic, and immigrant communities. Procreate Fertility Center serves this varied patient base and the team's experience with the community's demographics informs their clinical and communication approach.
The military community on the south side of Hampton Roads — including Naval Station Norfolk's waterfront operations, Portsmouth Naval Medical Center, and various other installations — creates a patient population that navigates TRICARE coverage and the specific challenges of active-duty family planning, including deployment cycles that can interrupt fertility treatment. Procreate's team is experienced in working around these constraints.
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
Virginia does not mandate fertility insurance coverage. Patients at Procreate Fertility Center are generally responsible for treatment costs unless their employer-sponsored plan includes voluntary fertility benefits. Military patients covered by TRICARE should review their plan — TRICARE covers limited fertility diagnostics and some procedures, but generally excludes IVF. Federal civilian employees may have fertility benefits through certain FEHB plan options. The clinic's billing staff can assist with insurance inquiries and pre-treatment cost estimates. Medical financing options are available for patients who need to spread costs over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Procreate Fertility Center the only REI practice on the south side of Hampton Roads? Procreate Fertility Center is one of the primary independent fertility practices serving the Chesapeake/Suffolk/Portsmouth communities. Other fertility clinics in the Hampton Roads region (including CCRM Virginia Beach and others in Norfolk) require crossing the river for many south-side patients, making Procreate Fertility Center a meaningfully more convenient option for this part of the metro.
Does Procreate Fertility serve patients from the Outer Banks of North Carolina? Some patients from the Outer Banks and northeastern North Carolina do travel north to Hampton Roads for specialty fertility care, as the Outer Banks has no local REI services. These patients should discuss scheduling strategies for monitoring cycles — which can require frequent short-notice appointments — to minimize the impact of distance.
Can fertility treatment be paused if a military spouse is deployed? Yes. Embryo cryopreservation allows couples to complete an egg retrieval and freeze embryos before a deployment, then proceed with a frozen embryo transfer when circumstances allow. The clinic's team has experience helping military couples plan around deployment cycles.
What is the cost of a typical IUI cycle at Procreate Fertility Center? IUI cycles are considerably less expensive than IVF — costs vary depending on whether fertility medications are used and how many monitoring appointments are needed. Call the clinic at (757) 404-5892 or visit procreatefertility.com for current pricing and to discuss what an IUI workup and cycle would entail for your specific situation.
