IVF started 45 years ago when the first IVF baby was born by a NATURAL IVF cycle, which means with NO medications at all. Since then, most IVF centers have been using heavy injections to stimulate the ovaries which cause a lot of discomfort as well as emotional and financial stresses. Based on the latest research that showed that heavy injections could potentially harm the quality of the eggs, RFC was created to use less invasive approaches: Natural IVF and Gentle IVF (also called Mini IVF). We offer IVF without any medications or with just oral medications (with or without minimal injections if needed) leading to an excellent successful pregnancy rate.
A lot of fertility centers care tremendously about their national pregnancy success rates and rankings. They might reject you for IVF because of your age, your weight, your ovarian reserve (low AMH), or if you are a “difficult case to get pregnant.” RFC does not discriminate against anyone based on their hormonal level or their age; and believes that everyone deserves to have at least one chance using their own eggs. Our doctors have helped a lot of women who were told “you will never get pregnant with your own egg” have babies using their own eggs.
We strongly believe in research, science and education. Everything we do at RFC is backed by medical evidence and serious science. That is why, at the end of each page on our website, we have provided medical references. We also train the new generation of Reproductive Endocrinologists through the Fellowship training program affiliated with Maimonides Medical Center and SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University.
