Traveling for treatment

Reasons Why Our Patients Travel For Treatment

The Spring Difference

Egg Freezing

Spring Payment Plan — $249/month with $0 down and 0% interest

The Spring Promise — our shared risk guarantee, because we’re in this with you. Freeze our recommended number of eggs by age 35 or 38, and if you’re unable to get pregnant using those eggs in the future, we’ll refund all money paid to Spring.

Significant experience freezing and thawing eggs — our world-class team of physicians and embryologists have helped hundreds of patients have a family from previously frozen eggs.

The Spring Difference

IVF

Proven Success Rates — in a designated cohort of Spring NYC patients who had previously completed cycles at other clinics, patients averaged 2.1 more blastocysts per cycle at Spring*

Dedicated Physician and Care Team — at Spring, you’ll meet with your primary Doctor, Patient Navigator, and Nurse, all of whom will be with you every step of the way.

Patient-First Care Model— communication with your care team is made easy via our patient app; there is no wait time to start your cycle; and, our clinics are calm and welcoming. We take exceptional care in every detail of the patient experience because we know the little things matter.

*Cohort of 11 patients who completed a total of 28 IVF cycles before becoming patients at Spring. On average, obtained 1.4 blastocysts per cycle. At Spring, same patients completed 16 IVF cycles and on average, obtained 3.5 blastocysts per cycle.

My husband and I came and went from New York City in 24 hours to meet our doctor and my patient care team. From the minute I stepped into their clinic, I knew that my experience with Spring Fertility would be different. I wasn’t just a patient here, I was a person. More importantly, I was a future mom, and Spring was going to make that a reality.

Here’s how we do it:

1

Pre-cycle Phone Call with a Spring Fertility New Patient Coordinator

Our New Patient Coordinator team will help to guide you through the process of becoming a Spring patient. They will share more about your options for completing your monitoring locally, offer specific hotel recommendations for when you do need to travel to a Spring clinic, and make sure that you have all of your non-clinical questions answered.

GET STARTED

2

Initial Testing

Completing your initial bloodwork and ultrasound before your consult with a Spring Fertility physician is recommended but not required. If you are able to complete this testing before-hand, you and your physician can have a more comprehensive and specific conversation about your treatment plan.

3

Initial Consultation

Your consult can be completed via videoconference from the comfort of your own home. You will meet with a Spring physician to review your medical history, your goals, and together, you will put together a treatment plan that works for you!

4

Pre-cycle Checklist

You will have a dedicated care team to ensure that you’re prepared for treatment — from building out your proposed treatment calendar, to medication ordering and injection training classes.

5

Cycle Start / Baseline Appointment

Based on your individual menstrual cycle, your Spring Fertility team will advise you when to schedule a baseline ultrasound visit with your local monitoring clinic. If everything looks good, you’ll begin administering your injections that evening.

6

Monitoring visits

You will visit your local facility (generally your OBGYN) ~3 to 5 times over the course of your treatment cycle to check your follicle growth via transvaginal ultrasound and bloodwork. Your Spring Fertility physician will interpret your test results, manage your care, and modify dosing of your medications as necessary to ensure you get the best possible results from your cycle.

7

Travel to Spring Fertility Clinic

You will travel to your Spring Fertility clinic location on day 8, with retrieval on day 12-14, to complete your egg retrieval. For patients intending to create embryos, we also ask that the sperm producing partner (or donor sperm) is on-site at Spring the day of the egg retrieval. Most patients can travel home as soon as the day after your procedure.

If flying, we recommend purchasing refundable tickets as sometimes your treatment timeline may shift by a day or two.

Egg Retrieval

The egg retrieval is a 20-minute outpatient procedure, performed under general anesthesia, followed by ~an hour of recovery. Most patients take the rest of the day off from work to rest. You can travel home as early as the day after your retrieval.

Egg Freezing Patients

Your eggs will be safely stored on-site at Spring Fertility until when and if you decide you’re ready to use them!

We created the Egg Freezing Calculator to help women develop realistic expectations around egg freezing, and to estimate their frozen egg to baby probability.

IVF Patients

Your eggs will be fertilized in Spring Fertility’s lab and your care team will communicate as your embryos develop into blastocysts, as well as any genetic testing results. Once you are ready to move forward with a frozen embryo transfer cycle, you will again complete most of your preparation locally and only need to travel to Spring the day of your transfer.

Post transfer, all obstetric care and ultrasounds will be completed locally by your OBGYN, and your Spring Fertility physician will continue to oversee your care for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Tour our NYC Clinic & Lab

A “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work in fertility care. We make every egg count, offering minimal stimulation protocols, fresh transfers and recommending egg or embryo banking cycles where appropriate. We never want our patients to feel like a number.
