There are many paths to creating a family. All are welcome here.

Ovulation Induction

Some people don’t ovulate predictably or at all – their body doesn’t release a mature egg from the ovary at regular intervals. Without an egg to fertilize, you can’t get pregnant. We can use medications to promote ovulation and improve your chances of conceiving through sex.

IVF

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is the gold standard of fertility medicine, offering the highest odds of success per cycle. Eggs are removed from the ovaries, fertilized and grown in a lab, and subsequently transferred into the uterus. Boston IVF clinicians perform more than 8,000 IVF cycles per year.

Egg freezing

This procedure preserves the future fertility of a person with ovaries by using medications to stimulate the ovaries, retrieve eggs, and freeze the mature ones. This can be especially beneficial for individuals undergoing medical treatments that might affect their fertility, such as chemotherapy.

Genetic Testing

If an individual is at risk of passing on one of hundreds of inheritable genetic conditions, Boston IVF can use the latest screening technologies to minimize this risk. Genetic testing of the embryos can screen for chromosomal abnormalities, allowing a transfer of those with the highest chance of leading to pregnancy.

LGBTQ+ family building

There are a variety of techniques and procedures (such as IUI, IVF, and the utilization of donor sperm, donor eggs, and/or gestational carriers) available to assist LGBTQ+ couples with their journey to parenthood. Boston IVF is proud to have been part of many fertility 'firsts' for family building care in the LGBTQ+ community.

Donors and Gestational Carriers

Every healthy pregnancy requires a mature egg, a sperm to fertilize it, and a uterus to carry it until birth. There are many circumstances where a family doesn’t have all of these essentials available. This is where donors and gestational carriers can help.

Donor Options at Boston IVF

Donor Eggs

When eggs are unavailable due to medical reasons or family composition, Boston IVF can perform IVF using donor eggs. These come from an individual who undergoes an egg retrieval. You may know the donor or find them through an egg bank agency.

Donor Sperm

Sometimes sperm is missing from the conception equation, due to medical reasons or family composition. In those cases, sperm from a donor is used for IUI or IVF. You may know the donor or find them through a sperm bank agency.

Donor Embryos

Sometimes, people elect to use cryopreserved embryos from an embryo bank agency to achieve pregnancy. The best embryos are carefully selected and transferred to a uterus in hopes of becoming a successful pregnancy and ultimately a baby.

Learn more

Gestational Carrier

Whether for elective reasons or due to necessity, a gestational carrier is a person who you choose to carry your baby for the duration of the pregnancy. A gestational carrier will not be genetically related to the baby and will not be considered a legal parent of the baby once born.

What causes infertility, anyway?

Getting pregnant requires several steps: the sperm and egg must meet at the right time, the sperm must fertilize the egg, and the embryo must implant in the uterus. In males, low sperm count or erectile dysfunction can prevent fertilization. In females, issues with eggs, the uterus, or fallopian tubes can interfere. In about half of cases, infertility's cause is unknown, which is why Boston IVF conducts research to better understand its many factors.

Fertility Care for Straight Couples

When straight couples decide to try for a baby, facing delays in conceiving can be disheartening but is more common than many realize. Today, at least 1 in 6 straight couples experiences infertility, defined as the inability to conceive after a year of trying.

At Boston IVF, we encourage couples to consider fertility testing even after six months of trying. For those with known factors such as blocked or absent fallopian tubes, irregular menstrual cycles, or difficulties with intercourse, early testing can pave the way for timely and effective treatment, bringing you one step closer to building your family.

Fertility Preservation

Every year, Boston IVF freezes more than 5,000 eggs for individuals who want to protect their chances of getting pregnant later on. Fertility preservation ensures that threats against an individual's fertility – such as aging, cancer treatment, or hormonal treatment for gender transition – do not limit their ability to get pregnant when the time is right.

Egg Freezing
An individual’s egg supply is in continuous decline, with the reduction in number and quality of eggs naturally accelerating over time until relatively few eggs remain by age 40. This sense of urgency is driving more and more individuals to freeze their eggs during their peak years of fertility to get pregnant later on. Some people also elect to freeze their eggs if preparing to undergo chemotherapy, radiation, or gender transition.

Embryos thrive at Boston IVF

✓ Our embryo development program and grading process selects only the best candidates for implantation.

✓ We are trailblazers in preimplantation genetic testing to evaluate the the chromosomal normalcy of embryos before transfer.

✓ Our experience is extensive, case volume is unmatched, and difficult cases are common. The rarest of cases for other centers are not uncommon for us.

The Fertility
Treatment Process

The first step in fertility treatment involves a series of diagnostic tests which provide your doctor with valuable information about you and, when applicable, your partner's medical history and reproductive potential. This information, along with your specific circumstances and goals, will guide which personalized treatments are most appropriate and how quickly you will move to the next stage.

Frequent, sometimes daily, testing is crucial for your doctor to monitor your response to treatment, determine next steps, and decide the right timing for those steps.
