10 REVOLUTIONARY ADVANCEMENTS THAT MAKE RFC UNIQUE:
1. SEVERAL TYPES OF OVARIAN
REJUVENATION
The FIRST in the Northeast to pioneer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) ovarian rejuvenation. The FIRST IN THE WORLD to offer ADIPOSE-PRP ovarian rejuvenation. As leaders in ovarian rejuvenation with several peer-reviewed publications
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=merhi+and+PRP
about ovarian rejuvenation, Rejuvenating Fertility Center performs intraovarian injections that use the patientʼs own platelets and plasma and own Fat Stem Cells to stimulate egg production at any age even after the onset of menopause.
2. NEEDLE-FREE IVF
Requires NO INJECTIONS! Based on peer-reviewed publications and research for a decade, our team has shown that oral pills are as effective as injectable medications https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/asrm/106878. Cost-effective approach using only oral medications to gently stimulate the ovaries and produce the best “quality” eggs. We have shown in peer-reviewed publications its efficacy:

3. CHOOSE YOUR CHILD’S GENDER
Family Planning Made Possible with IVF combined with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) allows for gender selection, giving families the opportunity to plan for a boy, girl, or balance in their family.
4. WE GIVE BACK (RFC GRANT COVERS 100% OF YOUR IVF COST)
We give away one free IVF cycle on monthly basis (must live in the U.S. to qualify and must be APPROVED by the Medical Director). If your household annual income is $60,000 or less (proof of household income taxes are needed- TAX RETURN), you might qualify for 100% FREE IVF cycle that includes one Egg Collection with Fresh Embryo Transfer.
5. NATURAL IVF
Did you know the first-ever IVF baby was born in 1978 through Natural IVF? At RFC, we believe “quality over quantity” is key. With Natural IVF, we collect just one egg—the strongest and highest-quality egg your body produces naturally each month. This approach maximizes your chances for a successful pregnancy. Several peer-reviewed publications have shown the efficacy on Natural IVF in producing healthy babies:

- Allersma T. Natural cycle in vitro fertilisation (IVF) for subfertile couples.Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2013 Aug 30;2013(8):CD010550
6. UTERINE REJUVENATION
If you cannot get pregnant because the UTERUS has problems, here are some interventions that we offer at RFC: Detailed Hysteroscopy, PRP infusion and injections in the uterus, Intralipids, ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Assay), and others… Several peer-reviewed publications have shown that PRP can improve pregnancy rates in women with Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=PRP+infusion+and+recurrent+implantation+failure
7. REPRODUCTIVE IMMUNOLOGY FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS AND MISCARRIAGE PREVENTION
Dr Merhi is one of the few Reproductive Immunologists in the country.
https://www.preventmiscarriage.com
After extensive research and training in the field, RFC has become one of the leaders in the field of REPRODUCTIVE IMMUNOLOGY that can help women who have:
1. Miscarriages
2. Endometriosis
3. Failed IVF
4. Implantation failure
5. Had a pregnancy with a history of active autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s disease and others).
8. CUSTOMIZED GENTLE (or MINI) IVF (No Age or Weight Cutoffs)
More holistic approach that uses the minimal amount of medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce the best “quality” eggs.
People are different! So why the IVF protocols have been the same since 1978?
Why do we expect everyone to respond to the same medication protocols that are painful, costly, stressful, and could potentially be harmful for egg quality … We offer TAILORED MADE IVF PROTOCOLS that are personalized for you… with no age, no AMH, and no weight cutoff!
According to studies by Dr Merhi and others, Mini IVF can produce better quality eggs and high doses of medications are detrimental for egg quality:
