Bristol Fertility Center
What we do

A focused range of treatments, delivered well.

We have intentionally kept our service set narrow, so the depth and consistency of care across each treatment is something we can stand behind.

01   In vitro fertilisation

IVF

The most extensively studied treatment in reproductive medicine, used when conception in vivo is unlikely or has not been successful.

We perform a full diagnostic workup before recommending IVF: hormonal panel, antral follicle count, semen analysis (where applicable), and a uterine cavity assessment. Only when the picture is complete do we propose a stimulation protocol.

Our embryology lab is on-site, run by an embryology director with 18 years of experience and a published track record. Time-lapse imaging is standard. Genetic testing of embryos (PGT-A and PGT-M) is available where clinically indicated.

  • Antagonist, agonist, and minimal-stimulation protocols
  • ICSI and conventional insemination
  • Single embryo transfer as the default standard of care
  • Frozen embryo transfer with natural and programmed cycle options
02   Intrauterine insemination

IUI

A less invasive treatment used in carefully selected cases, alone or as a step before IVF.

IUI is most useful in mild male-factor cases, unexplained infertility, and donor sperm cycles. We are honest with patients when IUI is unlikely to work; not every clinic is.

We offer both natural-cycle IUI and ovulation-induction IUI with letrozole or clomiphene, with monitoring at our Bristol clinic.

  • Natural and medicated cycles
  • Donor sperm preparation on site
  • Three-cycle review point as a default
  • Clear criteria for moving to IVF
03   Mature oocyte cryopreservation

Egg freezing

Fertility preservation for medical, social, or family-planning reasons, on a timeline that fits your life.

Egg freezing is one stimulation cycle and a retrieval. We give you a candid, age-banded estimate of how many mature eggs you are likely to need to bank for a reasonable later live-birth chance, and we help you plan accordingly.

We do not over-promise. We will tell you when one cycle is enough and when two is wiser, and we will tell you the difference in plain numbers.

  • Single-cycle and multi-cycle planning
  • AMH-led personalised stimulation
  • Vitrification with on-site cryostorage
  • Annual storage with transparent pricing
04   Donor & third-party

Donor egg, donor sperm, gestational carriers

Coordinated third-party reproduction with the legal, psychological, and clinical pieces handled in one place.

Third-party reproduction is logistically and emotionally complex. We coordinate with vetted donor agencies, attorneys, and mental health professionals so you are not assembling the team yourself.

Whether you are using known or anonymous donors, fresh or frozen donor cycles, or working with a gestational carrier, the same care coordinator runs your case end to end.

  • Anonymous and known donor cycles
  • Frozen donor egg banks with our embryology review
  • Embryo donation
  • Gestational carrier coordination, including legal handoffs
05   LGBTQ+ family building

Family building for LGBTQ+ patients

Reciprocal IVF, donor sperm IVF and IUI, and pathways tailored to how your family is built.

We do not treat LGBTQ+ care as a sidebar to standard fertility care. Forms, intake, partner involvement, and how we record family structure are designed for the patients in front of us, not retrofitted from a heteronormative template.

Our team includes physicians and counsellors with significant experience in reciprocal IVF and donor-assisted family building.

  • Reciprocal IVF
  • Donor sperm IUI and IVF
  • Co-parent legal coordination
  • Trans-affirming care pathways
06   Onco-fertility & medical preservation

Fertility preservation

Expedited cycles for patients facing chemotherapy, radiation, or other gonadotoxic treatment.

When time matters, we move quickly. Most onco-fertility patients are seen within 48 hours of referral, with a stimulation cycle starting at the next available cycle window.

We work directly with oncology teams across Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts to keep the timeline tight without compromising the cycle.

  • 48-hour first appointments for oncology referrals
  • Random-start protocols
  • Letrozole-based stimulation for hormone-sensitive cancers
  • Coordinated handoffs back to oncology
Common questions

Practical answers, plainly given.

  • New patient consultations are typically scheduled within 7–10 business days. Onco-fertility referrals are seen within 48 hours.

Next step

Not sure which treatment is right?

Most patients are not, and that is what the first consultation is for. Tell us a little about your situation and we will help you decide.
