HOW ARE WE UNIQUE?

Like most fertility centers, New Hope Fertility Center provides the full range of IVF services including Fertility Diagnosis, PGD Genetic Testing, IVF Treatments, Embryo Banking, Donor & Surrogate Services, Egg Freezing, and Reproductive Repair Surgeries & Treatments for both male & female infertility.

As we welcome you into our warm Park Avenue brownstone facility, you'll experience our compassionate, patient-friendly team & state-of-the-art hi-tech procedure rooms and laboratory, which together, create a unique peaceful hi-tech elegance. But what we are most proud of is our:

• Mini-IVF^TM, Less is More,

  which doesn't risk excessive daily IVF drug injections to reach high pregnancy success because it can achieve similar success with fewer oral drugs;

• Vitrification - 98%+ Success Rates,

  the newest egg & embryo flash freezing technique, used for egg freezing & embryo banking, which produces 98% survival rates, versus 55% typically produced by the commonly used slow-dunk freezing method; and our

• One Good Egg policy - Few Cancelled IVF Cycles,

  we emphasis 'quality' eggs rather than quantity, so we will not cancel an IVF cycle or deny you for age just because your body may produce only one egg –it only takes one good egg for one live birth.

Our Mini-IVF^TM treatment; it's a gentle more natural approach to IVF

The Mini-IVFTM treatment, also called Minimal Stimulation IVF, is a different philosophy of fertility care. It provides women a more physiologically, natural approach to in vitro fertilization…the way nature intended for a woman's body to create new life - without excessive injectable IVF drugs, and with the one or more 'quality' eggs nature blesses her with each month. Conversely, Conventional IVF takes the opposite approach; it uses high-dose daily IVF drug injections to stimulate her ovaries into growing a plethora of eggs –with no regard to their quality (most are discarded).

The end result is similar in both methods: in each cycle she matures 3-5 quality eggs (the ones viable for a healthy baby), and can achieve up to a 50% pregnancy success rate.

But the side effects are quite different. In a Mini-IVFTM treatment a woman typically consumes 1 oral pill per day versus 3-6 daily high-dose self-injections required in Conventional IVF. Daily injections are very burdensome, painful, overwhelming & expensive -Conventional IVF drugs are 30 – 40% more expensive. And, up to 40% of women will have multiples (twins, etc.), and up to 5% will develop ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS) which bloat the ovaries causing extreme pain and is potentially fatal when using Conventional IVF.

For these reasons, we chose to specialize in gentler, more natural fertility care & we are the largest US fertility center offering the Mini-IVF & Natural Cycle IVF treatments. Learn more...

Hi-tech fertility center that uses Vitrification

For Embryo & Egg Freezing, we use a flash freezing technique, Vitrification, which has a 98%+ survival rate for eggs (oocytes) and embryos, compared to the commonly used slow-dunk freezing method which typically has a 55% survival rate.

At New Hope Fertility Center, we prefer single embryo transfers to avoid the complications of multiples (twins, etc.) That means you may produce more embryos than you transfer each IVF cycle, and thanks to Vitrification's 98%+ egg & embryo survival rate, you can count on your extra preserved embryos for future use. Also, in a different scenario, for single women preserving their fertility, couples delaying or timing child bearing, or women undergoing cancer treatment, Vitrification is invaluable for Egg Freezing & Embryo Banking.

Because New Hope Fertility was one of a few centers in the US to offer Vitrification to all patients 3 years ago when the technology was first introduced, we have become a leader in this delicate technique. Learn more…

One Good Egg policy; don't worry about a cancelled IVF cycle because

After all the effort…the painful, expensive drugs & treatment, 30-50 high-dose IVF drug injections, the excitement of a possible pregnancy, and another month of fertility aging…your egg retrieval will be typically cancelled in a Conventional IVF cycle if less than 3-5 dominant follicles (potential eggs) are produced. This occurs in 10-15% of all Conventional IVF cycles. Also, patients over 41 or those with high FSH (e.g. 15-20+) usually have limited access to fertility treatment.

We are pleased to implement our One-Good-Egg policy. At New Hope Fertility, we don't have strict criteria based on a woman's age or FSH levels, or number of follicles (potential eggs) produced each cycle. Every woman is different. We will individualize each patient's treatment plan based on their overall evaluation and unique fertility history, rather than solely on age or FSH levels or her dominant follicle count.

We welcome everyone to New Hope Fertility Center. Remember, its “quality” that matters…not quantity. And, it takes only one-good-egg for one healthy baby!
