California IVF Update - Family Reunion Photos, Sacramento Fertility Center, UC Davis Research #ivf



In October 2011, California IVF Fertility Center hosted our annual "babies and bellies" event. Patients from all over Northern California came to Davis for a day in the park with the fertility specialists and staff that helped to take part in their successful pregnancy. It was a beautiful, sunny day to celebrate overcoming infertility with friends and family as well an eventful past year at the clinic.

The California IVF Family



In 2011, California IVF signed a collaboration agreement to take over fertility services for the UC Davis Department of OB/GYN, purchased a competitor's facility in Sacramento and added three physicians to its roster. This coming year, California IVF will continue to expand and build the practice so we can help more patients in the Northern California region and from around the world. 

Some of the most recent updates include: the installation of a new California IVF sign at our Sacramento facility, finalized renovation plans to bring a modernized IVF center to the Northern California region early next year, and new work with researchers at UC Davis to improve our ability to assess male fertility and embryo competency. Our California Conceptions Donated Embryo Program continues to grow and is providing an embryo adoption alternative for Canadian and Australian couples faced with restrictive oocyte donor laws.

Many of the journeys to pregnancy were difficult, but it's easy to see from the photos that the end result was well worth the effort. There is no greater joy than the joy experienced by being a parent to a happy and beautiful baby. We are always excited to be reunited with our former patients and see the impact we have had on their lives.

California IVF Fall 2011 Fertility Newsletter Online

The last six months has been an exciting time of change and growth for California IVF.  This edition of the newsletter takes a look at many of the changes including the acquisition of a Sacramento-based fertility clinic and the unique collaboration with UC Davis Health System.  Taking on the clinical services of these two centers has allowed California IVF to expand staffing to include the addition of two more female fertility specialists and increase our interaction with male fertility specialist Dr. John Gould. 

Dr. Gould is a board certified urologist specializing in male fertility disorders ranging from abnormal sperm counts through vasectomy reversals and surgical extraction of sperm.  Dr. Antoni Duleba, professor and interim chairman of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at UC Davis Medical Center's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, began seeing patients at our Davis office earlier this year.  Dr. Duleba heads our research collaboration which will unite the clinical and research efforts of the division to improve the quality of care to Northern California area fertility patients.

Dr. Satin Patel joined the practice in October of this year and brings with him a well rounded professional background including research on PCOS.  Dr. Patel has an excellent rapport with patients and staff alike and has been very valuable in contributing to the future development of California IVF.  After renovations of the Sacramento office are complete, Dr. Patel with join a team of trained staff at the Sacramento office to provide more convenient access to many patients in the Sacramento region.  Dr. Patel is currently seeing patients in Davis.

California IVF is excited to hold our annual family reunion event in Davis this weekend.  Nicknamed "bellies and babies", the event gathers many of our former successes and their children.  Everyone enjoys a fun filled reunion in the park with great food, photo opportunities, and networking with other couples that have been able to overcome infertility through the help of California IVF.

Sacramento Infertility Specialists Celebrate Conception, Pregnancy and Babies at Family Reunion BBQ

The Sacramento infertility specialists and staff at California IVF: Davis Fertility Center, hosted a family reunion BBQ on October 17th to celebrate “overcoming infertility”.




Former fertility patients who are now pregnant or have successfully delivered babies were invited to bring their families to the annual event. Most of 100 plus children who attended the were conceived using treatments offered by California IVF such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), artificial insemination (IUI), egg donors, embryo adoption or tubal reversal surgery.

California IVF Director Dr. Ernest Zeringue says, "Seeing patients overcome infertility and get pregnant is one of the top reasons for choosing to become a fertility specialist. Most local fertility centers do not get the chance to see patients after a positive pregnancy test and hearing a baby’s heartbeat on the ultrasound. We like to meet the children who help bring into the world and see the joy a baby brings to our former infertility patients.”
