What Is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a groundbreaking fertility treatment offered at the Center for Human Reproduction. IVF is the process of combining eggs and sperm in a laboratory setting to create embryos, which are then cultivated for a few days before being placed into the uterus. IVF may be an ideal treatment option if you are experiencing fertility challenges. With an extensive history of innovations in IVF, Dr. Norbert Gleicher and Dr. David H. Barad utilize cutting-edge technology and techniques to increase your chances of a successful pregnancy. If you are seeking an effective solution for fertility issues, contact CHR in New York, NY to schedule your consultation with one of our specialists.
How Does IVF Work?
In vitro fertilization is a carefully managed process designed to help with fertility challenges. Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad oversee IVF treatments at our practice in New York, NY. The IVF process begins with hormone suppression to regulate the menstrual cycle, followed by ovarian stimulation to promote egg production. Once the eggs are ready, they are retrieved and combined with sperm in our lab to create the embryos. These embryos are cultivated for a few days before one or more are transferred to the uterus. A pregnancy test will be conducted two weeks after the transfer to determine if the transfer was successful.
What Are the Benefits of IVF?
In vitro fertilization is an effective fertility treatment that can offer several advantages if you are facing fertility problems. At the Center for Human Reproduction, the benefits of IVF are enhanced by our individualized care and advanced techniques. The primary benefits of IVF include:
- High success rates for achieving pregnancy
- Customizable treatments for individual needs
- Effective for older patients and complex patients
- Ability to bypass many infertility barriers
- Provides options for genetic screening of embryos
Center For Human Reproduction Reviews
This was my first IVF experience and it sure was a special experience. Dr. Barad, Dr. Gleicher, Sonya, Maria and the rest of the staff were beyond amazing and attentive every step of the way. They genuinely wanted the best for me and I never felt overlooked. My first egg retrieval and transfer were a success and I’m so grateful for this healthy pregnancy! They are truly the best.
Dr Gleicher is well known in the IVF community for his knowledge on aneuploid embryo transfer and outcomes. I was seeking a consult with a goal of asking some questions and also prioritising my own aneuploid embryos (which the doctor where I live had agreed to transfer). We went through each of the 19 currently frozen embryos and he helped me assess and prioritise each one. He also picked up one thing in my results that no one else had ever mentioned which has given me one more path I could try for my next retrieval to improve my euploidy rate.I’m aware that some of his research is contentious within the scientific medical community (moreso for how the data is presented rather than for the mere fact he advocates for the transfer of aneuploid embryos). In this context I found him to be methodical and very clear, clarifying when necessary. I had a stated goal going into the appointment and I came out having achieved that goal. I appreciated his time deeply.
Highly recommend, wish I found them sooner. Came to them as a second opinion. They did tests which two other reputable well known IVF clinics in the north east did not check for. Start here if you need answers.
We are writing this letter of gratitude for Dr Norbert Gleicher and the entire staff at Center for Human Reproduction. My wife and I are so very thankful that we listened to Dr Gleicher's advice back on October 1st,2021 during a consultation he advised us to not allow our fertilized eggs to be discarded and killed.Our two eggs were tested and declared to be irregular by another IVF lab. We kept the eggs frozen and after 4 more failed IVF cycles came to Dr Gleicher for another try. We asked Dr Gleicher if it was worth a try to have eggs transferred into my wife and he studied the data and approved of the procedure. On February 7th,2024 we had 2 frozen eggs transferred and waited for the results.Finally later in February after the 13 day wait we were advised of blood test that confirmed that we were pregnant with an xx embryo from the transfer.XX is a girl and a huge feeling warmth and happiness overwhelmed both of us. We had several ultrasounds during the 4-5 weeks following and all were very positive with strong heartbeat and great growth, Today my wife is approaching her 18th week pregnant and all is going great with the development and follow up visits. Our baby is growing by the day and we look forward to our 20 week ultrasound for further development rate. If we had not discussed and listened to Dr Gleicher back in 2021 we would never have been so far with a pregnancy. The entire staff is wonderful and Hui Na was very helpful and communicative through the entire process with my wife. Please accept our sincere thank you and heartfelt praise for the team. Our baby is due around Oct 26th,2024 and we intend to vist to say thanks in person,we will make the trip from our home in Florida. Blessings to all.
Dr Gleicher is a king, he is on the highest level of experience and knowledge. I met some IVF doctors before and no one came even close to his professionalism and wisdom. This generation of doctors are the real doctors, that know IVF inside out. And fight for their patients and not treat them like numbers like most others in that industry. They want the best outcome and actually investigate your issue based on their vast knowledge, almost like a detective. I am so thankful I met him.
