Your First Step, Together
Fertility challenges are far more common than people realize; about one in six couples have difficulty conceiving. At your first appointment, your physician will review your health history and talk through your goals for building a family. As soon as your test results are available, we will take the time to review them together, answer any questions, and help you confidently choose the next steps on your path to parenthood.

Many Options, One Team Behind You
Your treatment may begin with intrauterine insemination (IUI), move directly to in vitro fertilization (IVF), or take a different route entirely. Wherever you begin, your care team will be with you every step of the way.
With in vitro fertilization (IVF), eggs are collected from the ovaries and combined with partner or donor sperm in our lab, where embryos form. An embryo is later transferred to the uterus in hopes of achieving pregnancy.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) places prepared sperm directly into the uterus at the point in your cycle when you are most likely to conceive, giving sperm a shorter path to the egg and improving the odds of pregnancy.
Pregnancy loss is heartbreaking. The encouraging news is that most people who have a miscarriage later go on to have a healthy pregnancy. For anyone who has had two or more losses, a recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation may provide answers. Sage Reproductive Center has deep expertise identifying possible causes of repeated miscarriage and recommending treatment to lower the risk of another loss.
Through embryo genetic testing at Sage Reproductive Center, each embryo is evaluated before transfer. Selecting an embryo without detectable genetic abnormalities can improve the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy and lower the risk of miscarriage, since many losses are linked to chromosomal problems in the embryo.
Approximately half of all infertility cases involve a male factor, so evaluating male intended parents is an essential part of finding answers. Testing usually begins with a semen analysis, which measures the number and quality of sperm. Based on the results, we look for other underlying causes and recommend a way forward.
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) involves collecting eggs from the ovaries and storing them for later use. People freeze their eggs for many reasons, including a health condition, career or education plans, a family history that affects fertility, or wanting to become a parent later. Some patients need to move quickly because treatment for a condition such as cancer could hurt their egg quantity or quality.
Your care team should understand the specific needs of your family. We design each plan around you, whether you are a same-sex couple, a transgender or non-binary patient, or planning to become a single parent. There are many ways to build the family you want.
Three things need to be present for a healthy pregnancy: healthy eggs, healthy sperm, and a healthy uterus. When a person’s own eggs are not available, a couple doesn’t produce eggs themselves, or several IVF cycles have not resulted in a safe and healthy pregnancy, IVF with eggs from a donor is an option. Deciding to use donor eggs is a big step, especially if it isn’t the path you first imagined. It can also bring renewed hope. Our team is here to guide you through this decision with care.
With gestational surrogacy, an embryo is transferred to the uterus of a gestational carrier (often called a surrogate) who carries the pregnancy for you. The carrier has no genetic connection to the baby. This option can help people who are unable to carry a pregnancy themselves, including male couples and some transgender individuals.
