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 and Surrogate Services, Egg Freezing, and Reproductive Repair Surgeries and Treatments for both male and female infertility.

As we welcome you into our warm Park Avenue brownstone facility, you'll experience our compassionate, patient-friendly team in a state-of-the-art hi-tech procedure rooms and laboratory. What we are most proud of is our:

  • Hi-tech fertility center that uses Vitrification

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

  • One-Good-Egg policy

    we emphasize '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.

Mini-IVF™, Less is More

The Mini-IVF™ 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.

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, and expensive. Conventional IVF drugs are 30 – 40% more expensive. Up to 40% of women will have multiples (twins, etc.) and up to 5% will develop Ovarian Hyper-Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS) which bloats 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 and Natural Cycle IVF treatments. Learn more...

Vitrification - 98%+ Success Rates

For embryo and egg freezing, we use a flash freezing technique- Vitrification. This has a 98%+ survival rate for eggs (oocytes) and embryos compared to the commonly used slow-dunk freezing method which typically only 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. Thanks to Vitrification’s 98%+ egg and embryo survival rate, you can count on your extra preserved embryos for future use. For single women preserving their fertility, couples delaying or timing child bearing, or women undergoing cancer treatment, Vitrification is invaluable for egg freezing and 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

After all the effort…the painful, expensive drugs and 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. Patients over 41 or those with high FSH (e.g. 15-20+) usually have limited access to fertility treatment.

We are very pleased to implement our One-Good-Egg policy. At New Hope Fertility, we don’t have strict criteria based on a woman’s age, 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, FSH levels, or her dominant follicle count.

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