What Extend Fertility does

Extend Fertility, founded in 2015 and operating as Extend Fertility, LLC (Delaware), is a private fertility practice specializing in oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing), embryo freezing, and full-service infertility treatment including IUI, IVF, and ICSI. The practice runs an in-house embryology lab equipped with vitrification capabilities and specialized benchtop incubators that house one patient's eggs per chamber for precise temperature and pH control; its safety system uses five-identifier labels on each storage vessel. Since founding, Extend reports more than 2,500 completed egg freezing cycles and over 27,000 frozen eggs, positioning the company as the largest single-practice egg freezing clinic in the United States. An 8-year outcomes study published in Fertility and Sterility (co-authored by co-founder and Chief Clinical Officer Joshua U. Klein, MD) reports a 70.3% ongoing pregnancy/live birth rate for women freezing eggs at age 40 or younger and an 88.9% live birth rate for women under 35 who froze 20 or more eggs, with a 90.7% post-warming egg survival rate.

The company's revenue model is built on professional service fees across egg freezing, embryo freezing, IVF/ICSI, IUI, surgical sperm retrieval, fertility medications, and male fertility diagnostics, supplemented by recurring annual storage fees for frozen gametes and embryos. List pricing is set 20–40% below the national average and is paired with Gaia Family financing, self-pay bundles, and an array of discount programs for medical professionals, military/veterans, and patients with medical conditions. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via two physical clinics — a Manhattan headquarters at 200 West 57th Street and a New Jersey site in Howell — augmented by phone consultations, virtual consultations, online scheduling, and a web-based patient portal. An ecosystem of more than ten referral and benefits partnerships (including Carrot, Maven Clinic, MSK Oncology, Livestrong, Sharsheret, Chiyo, Legacy, and CoFertility) channels demand from employer-sponsored fertility benefits, oncology patients, LGBTQ+ family building, and grant-funded programs.

Extend Fertility is founder/physician-led with no disclosed institutional control despite a $15M Series 2 round from Regal Healthcare Capital Partners in February 2019. The practice serves individual consumers primarily in the New York and New Jersey metro, with segment expansion into elective egg freezing, IVF/ICSI, oncology fertility preservation, transgender preservation, and LGBTQ+ family building; brand and demand generation rely on content marketing, an active blog, organic social media, email, community events (including targeted events for female physicians), and partner-driven referrals.
