Pacific NW Fertility

What Pacific NW Fertility does

Pacific Northwest Fertility (PNWF) is a Seattle-based, private fertility clinic founded in 2005 and operating as part of the Ivy Fertility Services, LLC network of seven US fertility centers. The practice delivers a full suite of reproductive medicine services: IVF (including a modified Gentle IVF protocol), intrauterine insemination, elective and oncofertility egg freezing, preimplantation genetic testing and carrier screening, LGBTQ+ family building (including reciprocal IVF and trans/non-binary fertility preservation), male factor infertility treatment, recurrent pregnancy loss services, egg donation, and gestational surrogacy coordination. PNWF operates four named centers of excellence: Fertility Preservation (founded 2010, Dr. Julie Lamb), the Center for LGBTQ+ Fertility (founded 2021, Drs. Rothenberg and Broughton), Collaborative Reproduction (Dr. Jamie Massie), and the Simplify Frozen Egg Bank. Services are delivered through two clinic locations in Seattle and Bellevue and supported by a full-service embryology laboratory staffed by dedicated embryologists.

Underlying capabilities rest on a bench of 9 double board-certified reproductive endocrinologists trained at Stanford, UCSF, Weill Cornell, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Pittsburgh, the University of Utah, and similar institutions. The technology stack centers on clinical laboratory infrastructure (embryology) plus the eIVF patient portal, the Ivy Fertility shared booking and referral platform (app.ivyfertility.com), and ConvergePay for billing. Patient-facing educational content is distributed via the pnwfertility.com resource library, social channels, and Dr. Lora Shahine's 'Baby or Bust' podcast (~3M monthly reach across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok).

PNWF earns revenue on a per-cycle, pay-as-you-go basis with unit pricing disclosed publicly (IVF $14,500-$21,700, IUI $530-$2,000, egg freezing $11,000+ first cycle, FET $4,895-$6,092, gestational carrier services $11,000-$12,000 plus agency fees, plus ~$5,000 in cycle medications). Patient financing is enabled through five partners (PatientFi, Sunfish, CapexMD, Future Family, Prosper). Demand is diversified across multiple consumer segments: heterosexual couples with infertility, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, women electing fertility preservation, donor/surrogacy patients, and international patients. Distribution is anchored by direct physician-led consultation, payer channeling through Progyny and a UHC/Optum Center of Excellence designation, and physician referrals via the Ivy Fertility platform. PNWF was ranked #21 in Newsweek's 2026 Best Fertility Clinics in America (of 140) and named Washington's best fertility clinic by Newsweek in 2025.
