It's #FALL, baby! We're so lucky to be in #NewEngland, where #autumn is spectacular. #IntendedParents traveling here from other parts of the U.S. or the world love our fall #foliage. Also, who doesn't love #sweaterweather?

#FamilyBuilding through #Surrogacy is a decision that may be accompanied by feelings of anxiety — but it doesn't have to be. Learn how we reassure #intendedparents and increase chances of success. Dr. Lavy and other pros will explain, and answer your Qs. bit.ly/surroconfidence

The only thing we want to smell in the NEFI #IVF #lab is success! #Embryos are sensitive to vapors and fumes, so the lab staff doesn't wear anything scented. Cosmetics, perfumes, and clothing washed in scented detergent can emit VOCs that affect embryo development.

Every day, but especially today, our hearts are with everyone who's suffered through #pregnancyloss or #infantloss. 💜

It's #MedicalAssistantWeek, so let's show some #love for our #medicalassistants, who are a vital part of daily operations here at NEFI. We couldn't do what we do if it weren't for (from top left) Christina, Michelle, Adrianna, and Emily. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #MARweek

What a weekend! It was a sold-out crowd at the Men Having Babies conference in #NYC and we loved discussing #surrogacy and #eggdonation face-to-face with future dads! 🌈👬👨‍👨‍👦 #gaydads #samesexfamilies #lgbtqia

The families we build remain part of our family. Thanks to the mom who sent us updated photos of her babies, who clearly aren't babies anymore but they'll always be NEFI babies to us! 💜💜💜

We're still trying to wrap our heads around last night's senseless violence against the patrons of Club Q in Colorado Springs. In the meantime, we applaud the heroism of the patrons who acted bravely and confronted the gunman, preventing further violence.

Today we're givng #thanks for the trust we receive from our patients. May your day be full of #gratitude and good times. We'll be back in the office tomorrow. Happy #Thanksgiving!

On #WorldAIDSDay, people around the world unite to show support for people living with and affected by #HIV and to remember those who lost their lives to AIDS. There’s still no complete cure for HIV infection, but promising experimental treatments give us hope.

Dr. Lavy talks with a same-sex female couple about how they decided on reciprocal #IVF, their unique and very moving process of selecting a sperm donor, and the challenge of finding a suitable clinic. #lgbtqia #gayfamilies #twomoms youtu.be/HS86KXSyX50

One of the most gratifying things about what we do at NEFI, aside from making dreams come true, is providing relief to patients who've started their journey elsewhere and later turn to us. #fertilitytreatment #eggdonation #surrogacy #familybuilding #IVF #thirdpartyreproduction

Much like the stories of many of our patients, the story of #Hanukkah is one of miracles. Chag sameach to those beginning their celebrations tonight. 💙🤍🕎

No matter how you choose to spend #Christmas day, may it be joyous and peaceful. #HappyHolidays. #xmas #family

With #2022 drawing to a close and so many beautiful new families created, all of us at NEFI are setting our sights on #2023. We look forward to making many more #wishes and #dreams come true. #HappyNewYear #NewYearsResolution #Celebrate

There's a lot riding on a #surrogacy journey. That's why NEFI makes #communication a top priority. No #IntendedParent should be left hanging or wondering what's going on at any time. We're accessible. Just like patients deserve. #fertility #IVF #surrogacy #eggdonation

This #testimonial arrived just in time for #MotivationMonday from a #mom who, in spite of the challenges during her #FertilityJourney, never let go of hope and now has a beautiful son. #Fertility #IVF #FertilityTreatment

In addition to being the first #AfricanAmerican to serve as the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Jocelyn Elders is a strong advocate for sex and reproductive education, especially in African-American communities. #BlackHistoryMonth
