Egg Freezing Study
East Coast Fertility has been selected to participate with 11 other centers nationally in an FDA approved research study on oocyte (egg) freezing. The title of the study is "Safety and Effectiveness of ViaCyte Freeze and Thaw Media Kits for the manufacturing of Oocytes for Future Use in Assisted Reproductive Technology". This study will provide free IVF to patients who qualify including male factor cases for women under age 36. IVF is performed normally up through retrieval and freezing of the oocytes. The patient returns for fertilization and embryo transfer within 3 months. Prior studies using similar techniques and media resulted in a 36% live birth rate per transfer.

If you are interested in conceiving this year, you may be eligible to participate in the study. Some of the IVF costs may be subsidized. To find out if you qualify, contact Rosemarie Dilandro RNC NP at: rdilandro@eastcoastfertility.com 516-939-2229 (BABY)
