Center for Human Reproduction

Center for Human Reproduction World-renowned experts in infertility treatment, specializing in pregnancy for difficult infertility cases and women 40+.

Internationally recognized for infertility treatment and research, CHR is known worldwide as the infertility center of last resort. One of the first IVF centers established in the U.S., the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) offers all aspects of modern infertility treatment. Through extensive research and clinical efforts, CHR has developed special knowledge and expertise in treating diminished ovarian reserve, a classic finding in older women and also in younger women with prematurely aging ovaries. Our pioneering research into IVF with DHEA supplementation — a treatment that CHR studies have found can double the IVF pregnancy chances in women with diminished ovarian reserve — has been noted worldwide, and one third of all infertility centers now use the technique. CHR also offers one of the world’s largest and most diverse egg donor programs. Located in Manhattan, New York City (NYC), approximately half of our patients are local, with another half hailing from other states and abroad. We invite you to learn more about CHR’s clinical offerings, treatments, research, and educational activities by exploring our extensive website. Feel free to contact us with any questions!

Most clinics follow rigid IVF playbooks. We don’t. At CHR, every cycle is carefully customized — from follicle size to hormone levels to the exact transfer day. Because your path to pregnancy deserves precision, not shortcuts 🌱

When it comes to embryo testing, the names can get confusing.

✨ PGT-A looks at the overall number of chromosomes in an embryo. It checks for extra or missing chromosomes that can affect development. This is the test we advise many of our patients AGAINST.

✨ PGD/PGT-M focus on specific inherited conditions. If one or both parents are carriers of a genetic disease (like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia), this testing helps identify embryos unaffected by that condition.

At the end of the day, the right test depends on your personal and family history and should always be guided by your physician!

What does it mean if your embryo is labeled mosaic or abnormal? 🧬
Contrary to what many clinics say, it does not automatically mean your journey ends there. Research shows some embryos can actually “self-correct” as they develop.

While most clinics discard mosaic embryos, we believe every embryo deserves a chance. That’s why we take a deeper, individualized look before making decisions that could change a patient’s future.

The holidays aren’t easy when you’re navigating infertility. Here are three gentle reminders to help you move through the season:

✨ Protect your energy — it’s okay to say no to events or conversations that feel too heavy.
✨ Create your own traditions — focus on rituals that bring you peace, not pressure.
✨ Build your support system — lean on a trusted friend, partner, or family member when things get tough.

Remember, your holiday doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It just has to feel right for you. 🌲💫

No two patients are the same — and neither are their IVF cycles. At CHR, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter protocols. Every trigger, stimulation, and transfer decision is made based on your biology, not a textbook timeline. That’s how we give each patient the best chance with their own eggs 💛

FRM x CHR GrandRounds - Nine Lessons From The Journal’s Editor’s Chair w/ Dr. Alan Decherney

11/11/2025

Most clinics automatically discard embryos labeled “abnormal” by PGT-A testing. At CHR, we don’t. Here’s why:

🔬 Studies (including our own) have shown that embryos classified as “abnormal” can sometimes still implant and grow into healthy pregnancies.

🌱 We’ve reported healthy live births from these embryos, proving that current genetic testing isn’t always perfect.

💡 Instead of relying solely on a lab label, we look at the whole picture: your health, your cycle, and your embryos’ potential.

Every embryo deserves careful consideration. That’s why we sometimes transfer embryos that other clinics would never give you the chance to use.

Infertility comes with enough challenges on its own and the myths around it shouldn’t add to the weight. From the belief that infertility is only a woman’s issue, to the idea that it only happens later in life, misinformation can leave people feeling isolated and misunderstood.

The truth is more complex, and more hopeful. 💡 Infertility can affect both men and women, younger and older individuals, and yes, many people can still conceive after 40 with the right care. At CHR, we want you to have facts, not stigma. Your journey deserves clarity, compassion, and science on your side.
