What fertility services does IMA ART Fertility provide?
Which IVF Clinics in Beverly Hills will I go for Egg Freezing and IVF treatments?
It all starts with our Beverly Hills location. We wanted to be in close proximity to LAX, where surrogates from across the U.S., and intended parents from everywhere could fly-in, and be at their hotel in a reasonable period of time.
Before and after treatment, we wanted our surrogates, their significant others and intended parents to walk-around safely and confidently. To enjoy the sights and sounds…, and tastes a beautiful community has to offer.
We wanted a small city with multiple IVF options to choose from, set within a State where anyone can become a family. In the end, there was only one option - Beverly Hills, 90210 ! In this lovely iconic town, we have numerous IVF clinic options.:-
In addition to offering exemplary reproductive care, Beverly Hills offers fine dining options, luxury shopping along Rodeo Drive and some of America’s finest 5-Star Hotels. Our intended parents and surrogates have plenty of time away from their chosen clinic to relax, unwind and enjoy.
Once you’ve made a decision to undergo treatment in & around Beverly Hills, IMA ART Fertility will coordinate your arrival time and treatment start time with one of the IVF clinics we work with. We’ll speak to you about the doctors, nursing & support staff, general locations and advantages of each. We will also reach-out to the Doctors to check their availability too!

How to choose an IVF Clinic ?
One of the most widely used fertility treatments is in vitro fertilization (IVF). There are many reasons an intended mother may benefit from IVF treatments. IVF refers to the process of fertilizing an egg with sperm in a controlled environment where they can increase the likelihood of successful fertilization.
IVF treatments can be helpful for individuals or couples who:
Struggle with unexplained infertility
Struggle with male factor infertility
Have a decreased ovarian reserve
Have blocked fallopian tubes
Have endometriosis
Do not ovulate due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Are over the age of 40 (healthy egg reserves begin declining at 32 years old, and this decline increases rapidly after 40)
Are using previously frozen eggs
Are using donor eggs
Are using a gestational surrogate
If you’ve experienced struggles with conceiving, getting in touch with a fertility specialist can help you explore all your treatment options and carve your unique path to parenthood.
Who are ideal candidates for IVF treatments?
It’s important to note that IVF success rates vary from clinic to clinic and country to country. Additionally, there are many factors that can influence the success of IVF, and it can take a few IVF cycles before a successful embryo transfer is achieved.
The biggest factor that dictates IVF success rates is the age of the egg being fertilized. (“Success” in the U.S. is defined as giving birth to a single healthy child, rather than testing positive for pregnancy after implantation, which is how most of the rest of the world defines it.)
For instance, the Society for Reproductive Technology (SART) suggests that the success rates of IVF for women under 35 years old sit at about 55.6%. For women between 35 and 37 years old, the success rate for live births with IVF is about 40.8%. Women between 38 and 40 years old typically see IVF success rates of 26.8%, with women over 40 experiencing 7% success rates for IVF using their own eggs.
Factors that can impact the outcomes of successful IVF include:
Egg/embryo quality
Stimulation protocol and timing of ovulation
Receptivity of the endometrium (implantation)
Embryo transfer
Sperm factors
Should IVF treatments not produce a successful pregnancy, we’re here to support you in exploring every available option in building your family, from egg and sperm donors to gestational carriers and more.
What are the success rates of IVF treatments?
As mentioned above, the success of IVF treatments varies between fertility centers and can be affected by numerous variables. That being said, research indicates that with healthy donor eggs from women in their most fertile years (20s-32), IVF success rates can reach as high as 70-80%.
What are the success rates of IVF treatments using donor eggs?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calculates success rates for various assisted reproductive technologies, or ART, and fertility clinics in the United States. It’s important to remember that the embryo transfer isn’t always successful the first time. It can take a few tries, and most of the time, it isn’t a surrogate’s fault at all if an embryo transfer does not take.
Once the surrogate is pregnant, the success rate for a healthy birth is as high as 95%. While we are not affiliated with any specific IVF Clinic, we can offer recommendations based on our previous experiences and your specific desires for the surrogacy process.
What is the success rate of surrogacy?
Surrogacy can be an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience for parents and gestational carriers. However, being a surrogate also comes with incredible responsibility. It’s essential to make sure surrogates are emotionally, mentally, and physically prepared for the journey ahead, and we provide as many resources as possible to support our surrogates in their journey to delivering you a happy and healthy baby.
When a surrogacy agency provides comprehensive screening services, the purpose is to protect everyone involved, including the parents, surrogates, and the agency itself. This is an important element in IMA ART Fertility Governance.
Why does IMA ART Fertility screen surrogates?
IMA ART Fertility has a rigorous applicant screening process that sets our surrogacy agency apart from others in the U.S. We not only strive to be leaders in the industry, but we find our comprehensive approach makes for successful matches based on surrogate and intended parent preferences and personalities.
Our uniquely designed gestational surrogacy matching and screening process ensures that an applicant not only meets all surrogacy requirements, but that you share common perspectives on pregnancy and will be a good match throughout the journey.
