At Coastal Fertility Medical Center, we welcome and support individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities in their journey to parenthood. Our fertility specialists receive ongoing LGBTQ+ training to ensure an inclusive, compassionate, and understanding environment. From the first consultation to the final IVF cycle, we take positive steps to provide an experience where every patient feels respected, supported, and valued.
We believe in complete financial transparency. While some clinics offer lower initial prices only to add unexpected treatment costs later, we ensure our patients know every potential expense before beginning their treatment. There are no hidden fees or surprise chargesโevery cost is clearly outlined from the start, allowing you to plan your fertility journey.
The fertility care industry is often fragmented, forcing patients to navigate multiple providers for different stages of their treatment. At Coastal Fertility, we simplify the steps to fertility by offering a complete, all-inclusive model. Our integrated services help patients manage infertility’s physical, emotional, and financial aspects, ensuring a supportive experience from start to finish.
Our globally recognized team of fertility specialists is dedicated to improving IVF technologies for better patient outcomes. At Coastal Fertility, you won’t just rely on one doctorโyou’ll benefit from the combined knowledge of multiple experts. Our team holds case review meetings every week, ensuring that each patient benefits from collective insights and a multidisciplinary approach.
Many patients come to us after being turned away by other clinics. We specialize in difficult infertility cases, helping those who may have been considered “hopeless” elsewhere. We consistently achieve IVF cycle success rates well above the industry average through advanced fertility care, internal collaboration, and cutting-edge techniques.
Every patient’s journey is unique, and so is our approach. Unlike facilities with a one-size-fits-all approach, our fertility specialists use more than 40 customized protocols to improve success rates. This personalized strategy extends to our state-of-the-art fertility laboratory, where our on-site lab director and expert team carefully nurture each embryo and egg. By tailoring every step of the IVF process, we help patients take positive steps toward parenthood.
Following the Preimplantation Genetic Screening process, which helps ensure there are normal chromosome numbers and detects possible genetic disorders, the most healthy embryo(s) are selected to be implanted into your or your chosen surrogateโs womb. 2 weeks after the transfer of the embryo, your physician will conduct a final blood test to determine the level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your body. Increased hCG levels usually indicate a positive pregnancy test.
For fertilization to take place, the collected egg and sperm are combined in a petri dish and cultured in an embryo incubator. This dish is closely watched to check whether any of the eggs have been fertilized. Once the egg is fertilized, it is referred to as an embryo or a blastocyst on the 5th day of development. Our in-house embryologist carefully nurtures every embryo to the right time, even if it means working outside the standard business operating hours. For instance: If an oocyte is not mature, our laboratory will wait for it to mature and then ICSI it at the right time.
The egg retrieval is a slightly invasive medical procedure that takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You will be given an anesthetic to make you sleep for the duration of the procedure. Using ultrasound technology, your doctor will harvest your eggs transvaginally with a small, hollow needle connected to an ultrasound probe. Once your eggs are collected, your partnerโs semen or donor sperm you have pre-selected is used for fertilization. The sperm are washed and prepared, and the top-quality sperm extracted is used to fertilize the eggs.
Your doctor will create a customized medication schedule that contains information about the fertility medications and hormone injections you have to take. Medication and injections are taken to encourage your ovaries to mature a large number of eggs for fertilization. Since women donโt respond to fertility drugs and hormones the same way, personalized protocols are crucial to the IVF cycle success. At Coastal Fertility, we will monitor you closely, letting you understand the changes occurring in your body and keeping track of how your egg follicles are growing.
The infertility industry is currently segmented, with each service or treatment being handled by a different provider. Our all-inclusive model simplifies an otherwise complex and difficult process. We are here to revolutionize the infertility industry by offering a one-stop-service model to assist our patients through infertility challenges while reducing physical, emotional, and financial risks.

We make sure our patients are well aware of any possible extra pricing that may occur over the course of their treatment.
Our fertility clinic focuses on helping you build your family regardless of your sexual orientation or the gender you choose to identify with.
