The entire staff at West Coast Fertility Centers has been diligently planning the first ever reunion of babies born from frozen eggs. Unlike other regular IVF reunions periodically held by various fertility centers, we are hosting the world’s first reunion of actual babies born from frozen eggs. We’re all so happy and excited to see all the beautiful frozen egg babies.

“This baby reunion is unique because it celebrates the pioneering families and their babies conceived from thawed frozen eggs. Although some groups may consider egg freezing “investigational,” nearly 70 joyous families and their frozen egg babies will come together to celebrate life at West Coast Fertility Centers,” states Dr. Diaz.

Guest speakers at this world’s first frozen egg reunion event will include…

  • Alice Crisci, Founder and CEO of Fertile Action Network
  • Jack Jacoub, MD, Director of Oncology at OC Memorial Hospital
  • Barbara, Mother of first frozen egg baby – Cadyn who turned 6 years old on Oct 6th
  • Brie, Patient who did egg freezing before starting her cancer treatments
  • Stephanie and Rob, Chose egg freezing rather than embryo freezing

“David Diaz, MD, Medical Director of West Coast Fertility Centers has always been on the scientific forefront of finding real solutions for real human needs because he understands that unanticipated life events can threaten a woman’s reproduction. Cancer at a young age, career demands, single marital status, or a depleted ovarian function can all endanger a woman’s fertility potential.

Since 2000, our medical and scientific team have been refining the art of freezing and thawing a woman’s unfertilized egg for fertilization and implantation at a later date. Long before the “flash freeze” method was in vogue, West Coast Fertility Center presented their 91 frozen egg survival rate data at the ASRM Meeting in 2008. The team developed an IRB approved study for their digital programmed freezing method that has resulted in the births of nearly 70 healthy babies out of about 400 born in the U.S. from frozen eggs. Cadyn, the Center’s oldest frozen egg baby and the first in California, will celebrate her sixth birthday on October 6, 2011.”
