June 12, 2026
As of June 12, 2026, Coastal Fertility Medical Center has permanently ceased all active clinical patient care operations at its Irvine facility. To ensure a seamless, secure, and orderly transition for our community, our administrative transition team will remain fully operational through July 30, 2026, to process records and coordinate tissue wind-down protocols.
Please review the categories below to find the specific tracking guidelines and timelines that apply to your file:
All biological assets remain completely safe, monitored, fully licensed, and comprehensively insured. To ensure continuous physical and thermal protection, our center cannot abandon any biological materials. You must complete your documentation to finalize your long-term storage path.
Prior to June 12, 2026, active storage patients were sent a secure DocuSign link and a concurrent physical FedEx packet. Please complete and return these forms as soon as possible.
You may elect to transition your tissue to long-term storage at CryoFuture (Carlsbad, CA) or to Reproductive Sciences Medical Center (RSMC) in San Diego, CA, if you are continuing active treatment under the supervision of the RSMC clinical team. Both options feature a $0.00 transport fee, and your annual storage billing structure remains unchanged under consolidated management. Tissue stored at CryoFuture may be safely shipped to an external IVF center at a later date, with no immediate time constraints.
You maintain full autonomy to move your tissue to an independent fertility center of your choice outside of our network. For external transfers, you are responsible for directly contracting and paying a licensed independent third-party medical courier company for all transport logistics.
Please ensure your completed, dual-signed storage selection forms are submitted no later than June 25, 2026.
If we do not receive a completed selection form from you by June 25, 2026, your tissue will automatically and safely transition to long-term preservation at CryoFuture Carlsbad under our default protection protocol, with a $0 transport fee, to prevent any interruption in storage safety.
To maintain strict data security and identity verification, consent forms are not posted publicly. If you need a replacement DocuSign link or physical packet, please contact our team directly at notices@coastalfertility.com.
In full compliance with the Medical Board of California guidelines and health data privacy laws, we provide secure access to medical records for all patients treated within the trailing seven (7) years. Reproductive Sciences Medical Center (RSMC) in San Diego, CA, has been legally appointed as our permanent Custodian of Records.
Active patient charts have been securely compiled. If you have not yet completed your documentation, please check your email for a secure DocuSign link to execute your standard Release of Information (ROI) form.
To ensure a clear 30-day notice window, formal physical notification packets are being sent via U.S. Certified Mail and will be fully completed by June 30, 2026. These packets contain your direct instructions and an enclosed ROI form.
All standard administrative chart-copy and transmission fees are waived for our patients during this practice closeout window.
To protect patient privacy, public downloads of the ROI form are restricted. To submit a chart transfer request electronically, please email our secure transition gateway at notices@coastalfertility.com to receive an authenticated link.
Our administrative transition team, under senior management oversight, is dedicated to guiding you step-by-step through this process. Please use our centralized communication channels to ensure efficient routing and avoid administrative delays:

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 surrogate’s 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 partner’s 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 don’t 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.
Coastal Fertility Medical Center offers one of the most advanced fertility treatments and is completely transparent regarding the costs of procedures and any other expenses that you may have to pay before commencing your treatment. This differentiates us from some fertility clinics that reduce prices before the signing of the contract but charge you extra later on. 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. We are even taking further steps to make LGTB people feel more welcome at our fertility clinic. Each of our patient-facing staff goes through LGTB training to let family-building clinicians provide necessary support and make you feel highly welcome.
Our globally respected team of specialists are helping improve IVF technologies to enter into a generation of better outcomes for infertility. Although you’ll have a doctor guiding you, you are also going to benefit from the experience and insights of other doctors during case review collaboration meetings, which take place every week. So, you won’t just rely on the expertise of a specialist but benefit from the knowledge of many reputed fertility experts.
We know that every situation is different and that everyone requires different treatments. Unlike facilities that take “a one-size-fits-all” approach for all cases, our fertility specialists use more than 40 customized protocols to raise the chances of success. The customized approach even extends to our fertility laboratory. Our on-site lab director and his highly-experienced team nurture every embryo and egg to increase the odds of success of each cycle.
Our team specializes in difficult cases and help patients who may have been considered “hopeless” at other fertility clinics. Thanks to our personalized solutions, expertise, and internal collaboration, weare able to maximize pregnancy success rates that are well above the industry average, even in difficult infertility cases.
Your Reproductive Endocrinologist will take all factors into consideration and create a comprehensive plan of care, otherwise known as the treatment plan. This plan will include treatment recommendations from the physician and enable your financial coordinator to make a precise quotation once you meet.
On-site consultations typicallyinclude a standard fertility evaluation, consisting of a physical examination, complementary follicular ultrasound, and testing to enable your doctor to know your present fertility status and draw up a treatment plan.
This consultation includes a detailed medical evaluation with a doctor. You and your physician will review your health records and have enough time to talk about your goals and get answers to your questions. We recommend that you jot down all your questions before the visit to allow you to make the best use of the time spent with your doctor.
Upon your arrival, you will check in with a Patient Care Coordinator. We will obtain your insurance information for benefits verification, a copy of your identification and take a picture for your electronic medical chart
