About California IVF Fertility Center
California IVF Fertility Center is a private fertility center in Sacramento’s Natomas area, founded in 2004 as California IVF: Davis Fertility Center, Inc. In July 2011, the center entered a collaborative agreement with UC Davis Health System’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, taking over all clinical services of the former UC Davis Fertility Center in Sacramento. Physicians hold faculty appointments at the UC Davis School of Medicine and participate in resident and medical student teaching.
The center operates a purpose-built facility with an in-house research laboratory, operating room, and a state-of-the-art air-filtration system — one of the most advanced embryology laboratories in Northern California. It pioneered genetic testing of embryos in 2005 and achieved successful live births from frozen oocytes.
California IVF has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Fertility Clinics for four consecutive years: No. 30 (2023), No. 27 (2024), No. 36 (2025), and No. 41 (2026), ranking No. 2 in Northern California in 2026.
Success rates: According to the CDC NASS 2022 report, the center completed 804 ART cycles with cumulative live birth rates per intended egg retrieval of 45.9% (under 35), 22.8% (35-37), 30.0% (38-40), and 13.1% (over 40); 98.5% of transfers used frozen embryos. The center’s website reports a 63% clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer in 2024 for patients under 40 using a single PGT-A tested embryo, and a 70-75% clinical pregnancy rate per attempt for its donor embryo program, with cumulative success exceeding 95% over three attempts.

Patient Journey
Consultation & Testing: Meet with a fertility specialist to discuss goals, review medical history, and complete initial testing.
Fertility Evaluation: Semen analysis, HSG, ultrasound, hormone and infectious disease testing; hysteroscopy or laparoscopy if indicated.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Physicians review results and design an individualized treatment plan, explaining success rates, costs, and timelines.
Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring: Daily hormone injections with regular ultrasound and blood monitoring; weekend monitoring appointments are available.
Egg Retrieval & Embryo Culture: Ultrasound-guided transvaginal retrieval under moderate sedation, followed by fertilization in the lab (IVF or ICSI) and 5-7 day embryo culture.
Embryo Transfer & Pregnancy Test: A selected embryo is transferred in a simple outpatient procedure; blood test 9-12 days later confirms pregnancy, followed by an in-house OB ultrasound.
Local Legal Framework
California has one of the most comprehensive assisted reproduction legal frameworks in the U.S.:
- Surrogacy: California law (Family Code Section 7600 et seq.) supports gestational surrogacy with enforceable commercial agreements and pre-birth orders. California IVF coordinates gestational carriers only.
- Egg/Sperm Donation: Clear legal framework requiring written informed consent; donors hold no parental rights.
- PGT: No special legal restrictions on PGT-A, PGT-M, or PGT-SR in California.
- Embryo Status: California law does not grant embryos legal personhood; disposition is governed by frozen embryo agreements.
