Vote for your favorite video!

The application period has ended and voting is now open.  Watch the video submissions and cast your vote to select one of the winners of the 5 fertility treatment cycles.  Follow us on social media to find out who wins and check back often for updates.  Help promote fertility awareness by sharing our story and the stories of our participants.  Voting ends 4-28-2021.

Infertility affects 7-8 million Americans. Infertility affects people of all different ages and backgrounds. When pregnancy doesn’t occur easily, people are left wondering what is wrong and what can be done to help. Compounded by social pressures and even a sense of embarrassment, many individuals do not seek the help they need. The availability of information on the internet and public awareness efforts have help improve infertility information, though there is still a long way to go. Many patients visit our office indicate they were not fully aware of what options were available to them or how advanced the current state of treatments have become. Many misconceptions about the cost of fertility treatments have also limited the willingness of people to seek help.

Infertility treatments can range from conservative treatments such as helping to restore ovulation, to advanced In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with genetic screening of embryos. IVF is by far the most expensive of the treatment options. The cost of treatment is a significant barrier to many individuals and couples faced with infertility. The COVID-19 pandemic has compounded matters by resulting in reduced income and the uncertainty of when things will return to normal. California IVF is committed to help improve awareness of the struggle with infertility and help to improve access to IVF.

Promotion 2021

The struggle of infertility profoundly influences well being, therefore we feel its treatment is not elective.  California IVF Fertility Center has remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Infertility awareness is more important now than any other time. The recent pandemic has interrupted access to fertility care and affected many people’s ability to afford fertility treatment. California IVF has always focused on looking beyond the current technology and tries to push the boundary of the next generation of fertility care. We have been working on developing a highly streamlined and efficient approach to IVF that could eventually lower the cost of IVF services.

Similar to last year’s giveaway, California IVF will be selecting 5 recipients to undergo free infertility services. This year, however, we want to open it up to even more people. We are expanding our potential giveaway services to include tubal reversal and egg donor cycles, in addition to IVF cycles. Submissions will start on March 17, 2021 and end on April 17, 2021. We will then be opening all submissions to be viewed and voted on by the public on April 18, 2021 to April 28, 2021, with winners being notified shortly after.

Have fun with it!  Videos should be 2-5 minutes in length.  You will need to post the video on YouTube or Vimeo and submit the link when filling out the video entry form.  Videos will be used for voting and selecting the winners.    Remember, we are promoting awareness!
