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

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.
I have already had multiple rounds of IVF that were not successful. I knew about the office from a famous book about fertility. The consultation with Dr.Barad was the best consultation I have had so far. He is very compassionate, talked to us as human beings and actually tried to get to know us and what we do. Not only that he also explained everything well to us and is very knowledgeable. He was so patient with my many questions and he also addressed my concern about one of my hormones that no other doctor paid attention to, even when I pointed it out to them. He explained the importance of fixing it and how to fix it. I am hopeful as he didn’t rush us into doing another round like other doctors do and wanted to fix my problem first even though I feel like I am on a time crunch. I appreciate his time as he spent almost two hours with us on the consultation and I don’t want to have crazy expectations but I am hopeful. Let’s hope the rest goes well and God is on our side. Thank you Dr.Barad
My journey started in 2018 when I went to another fertility doctor. I went through 3 IUI's which were not successful. Then went through 1 IVF cycle after PGS testing which failed in a miscarriage July of 2018. The doctor then went on saying I should consider donor egg as I was not going to be able to conceive with my own eggs. In looking for a second opinion that November my best friend and I stumbled into a video where Dr. Gliecher was speaking to help women past 35-40 get pregnant with their own eggs. I made a consultation appointment for Dec 5th 218 and Dr G stated I was going to get pregnant with my own egg. He ran tests and modified my treatment to my need. I had a retrieval on 2/3/2019 and transferred on 2/7/2019. I was pronounced pregnant on 2/19/2019 and my CHR miracle was born October of 2019. Today she is 5yrs old and is the most beautiful smart healthy loving kiddo I have been blessed by being her mother.
I have been blessed to find CHR on my journey. If anyone is lucky to find the clinic they will be surrounded not only by the greatest medical knowledge and research when it comes to IVF but a group of amazing professional.Everyone I have met there is just genuinely kind, professional and so helpful. I cannot say enough great things about CHR and the only way to know what I'm talking about is to give them a chance. Thank you CHR
I discovered your clinic when I was at my lowest. I happened on a video on your you tube channel titled, "The burning out pcos." Just that video gave me much needed hope and direction because I couldn't get a diagnosis of why I was cold, lethargic and weak. I decided to become a patient for my fertility problems and fortunately I could consult online. Extending help internationally is really helpful. It is not easy to find this calibre, everywhere. I was 43 when I told Dr Gleicher I couldn't afford to travel there to do my IVF. He made sure he gave me some nuggets of wisdom to go with. For one, he insisted that my numbers showed I could have a child using my own eggs, like I wanted. The one clinic in my country doubted I could have a child in my late 30s. Another clinic in another country in the region would not even consult with me because I was 43 and not willing to use donor eggs. Another was willing to take me on but we had 2 failed IVF cycles. They also recommended donor eggs. I'm happy to share that I conceived naturally at 45 and I am looking at a perfectly healthy 5 month old baby boy. May the good Lord bless you and your work. You are truly doing the work of God. I could withstand the pressure to take donor eggs because you were very clear that my desire was possible. Congratulations and best wishes!
