In response to a high volume inquiries, we’ve outlined answers to your most frequently asked questions concerning your care at our Park Avenue office, which will be moved to our Columbus Circle location due to scheduled renovations. All treatments, procedures, faxes, scans and anything regarding your care with us will be handled by our team on the West Side.

We’re still available to receive calls (212-400-9614) if you do not find your answer below.

Q: Where is the other New Hope office and how do I get there?
A: Our New Hope West Side office is conveniently located on the 4th floor of the Steelcase building at 4 Columbus Circle on the corner of W 58th and 8th Avenue. If you find yourself at Starbucks, you’re at the back of the building. Simply head towards 8th Ave and take a right, and you’ll see the Steelcase building to the left if you’re facing Duane Reade. Our front door sits on 8th Ave.

Q: What public transportation can I take to get there?
A: The M10, M20, and M104 all make stops near Columbus Circle on 59th and Broadway. For those traveling across town, the M31 and M57 stop at 58th and 8th (practically on our doorstep!). If you’re traveling by train, the A/C/B/D/1 trains all stop at 59th St, Columbus Circle, and the N/Q/R are not far away on 57th and 7th Ave. If you need details on parking, please visit us online and click the “Directions” button.

Q: If you’re closing Park Avenue, aren’t you going to be understaffed?
A: Our East and West Side family now reside under one roof. So, not only do we continue to hire new expert staff members, but now have more sonographers and doctors to help at our Columbus Circle location.

Q: But if you’re moving all your staff, won’t it be crowded?
A: Our Columbus Circle just opened its doors in 2011 and is our most modern facility in the United States to date. New Hope’s West Side location is twice as big as our Park Avenue location, with a spacious waiting area, comfortable recovery rooms, and a state-of-the-art lab where our embryologists take care of your eggs, embryos, and sperm.

Q: Speaking of eggs/embryo/sperm, mine are frozen and banked at Park Avenue, what now?
A: Your eggs/embryo/sperm are now safely banked at our larger banking facility located at 4 Columbus Circle.

With recent headlines examining the success rates of IVF for those women who try more than once, we decided to dedicate a post to those women who keep getting back up even after IVF failure.  Depending on the initial infertility diagnosis (ie. tubal blockage, a reproductive disorder, or unexplained infertility), there are several different factors that can contribute to a cycle getting cancelled or failing to “catch” on the first try.  When it comes to your future as a parent; however, the most important characteristics one can hold are resilience and persistence.  After all, when you’ve gotten as far as facing infertility head on, the next logical step is trying until you succeed.

Our first story comes from a 36-year-old woman who was struggling with primary unexplained infertility when she first arrived at New Hope.  After completing our trademarked Mini-IVF™ treatment, she elected to freeze her embryos.  Unfortunately, following her first embryo transfer she did not get pregnant, but after her second frozen embryo transfer we’re happy to announce that she got pregnant — and with twins!

Our second IVF success story comes from a 44-year-old, who came to New Hope after having trouble getting pregnant with her second child.  After a few Natural IVF Cycles (drug-less fertility treatment that utilizes close monitoring), she did not get pregnant, but she opted to keep trying.  After careful consideration, and the desire to avoid overmedication, Ms. 44 and our doctors decided to move her to our Donor Program.  After her donor frozen embryo transfer, she finally came back with a positive pregnancy test.

Our final story for this week involves a 33-year-old struggling with secondary infertility, like Ms. 44. Ms. 33 decided to try a couple Mini-IVF™ cycles to produce viable eggs for implantation without the overmedication involved with conventional IVF.  Unfortunately, her first frozen embryo transfer did not take.  We then decided to try a couple Ultra Mini-IVF™ cycle (no injectionables) and 1 Natural Cycle to collect viable eggs.  After producing a viable egg from her Natural Cycle, she got pregnant.  Case in point that less is more when it comes to producing eggs for transfer during IVF.  As we always say, it only takes one good egg!

Congratulations to these three women who kept pushing to realize their dreams of motherhood.  You’re an example to us all!

We’re excited to announce New Hope Fertility’s Upper East Side clinic on Park Avenue is getting a major facelift!

During our remodeling phase, and to ensure we can continue to provide service in a comfortable, clean, and up-to-date environment, we’re limiting monitoring and office hours in our Park Avenue location. Starting this week, New Hope Upper East Side will be closed on the weekends, and monitoring hours for current patients will be from 7AM to Noon.  Office hours will be from 7AM to 3PM.

As we head into the heat of summer, our architects will be working up a sweat around the clock to ensure our original center’s operations will be back up and running before too long.  And while we’ll be limited on the East Side, you can still find the entire New Hope family running things as usual at our Columbus Circle office on 58th and 8th Avenue.

We’re excited to share the news of this new chapter in the New Hope story, and can’t wait to update you on our new and improved East Side facility.

If you have an questions, give us a ring at 212-400-9614 or visit us online.

New Hope Fertility Center built itself from the ground up with the patient as our main focus.  Everything from the glass that protects our state-of-the art lab where we take care of your embryos down to the protocols were constructed with you in mind.

If you’ve explored our website, you’ll find that we pride ourselves on our minimal stimulation techniques, which help women get pregnant without exposing their bodies to lavish amounts of fertility medication. Across the United States, there is actually a known shortage of one of the main medications used in conventional IVF treatments.  Ganirelix Acetate (a GnRH antagonist) — for those who have not undergone any type of fertility treatment before — is a common injectionable used to prevent women undergoing IVF from ovulating prematurely during their treatment.  A national shortage of this drug has inhibited many clinics from moving forward in patients’ fertility treatments.

At New Hope, running low on this particular medication is never a concern when it comes to our ability to meet the needs of our patients.  Since many of our protocols focus on injectionless methods (ie. Natural Cycle) or treatments that involve low amounts of injectables (Mini-IVF™), we treat only a small volume of patients with protocols that involve the use of Ganirelix, which means you never have to worry about us running short — on Ganirelix or patient-accommodating service.

New Hope is also home to one of the larger IVF facilities in New York City.  Built with space in mind, our Columbus Center office is home to an embryology lab with close to 30% more space than conventional labs, allowing the staff that takes care of your eggs and embryos to move with fluidity throughout their workspace.  Our labs also allow ample room to house our high-efficiency air filtration system, which harnesses the power of a 737 jet engine to purify the lab’s delicate environment.

These are only a few of the ways New Hope has built its fertility center to ensure it can help a high-volume of diverse patients from around the world.  If you’ve had trouble getting the help you need from other clinics in the United States, what are you waiting for?  We’re only a few clicks away.
