Core offering

Houston Fertility Center is an independent fertility clinic providing comprehensive infertility diagnosis and treatment, with two flagship cycle packages: IVF with PGT at $13,400 and INVOcell with PGT at $9,400, both bundled with preimplantation genetic testing and frozen embryo transfer. The practice also offers IUI, ICSI, egg and sperm donation, gestational surrogacy, fertility preservation (egg/sperm/embryo freezing), gender selection, male infertility treatment, endometriosis treatment, and LGBTQ family building — delivered from a single Houston facility with an on-site CAP-certified embryology laboratory and egg retrieval suite.

Product overview

Houston Fertility Center offers a comprehensive portfolio of fertility treatments led by Dr. Sonja Kristiansen. The core offerings center on two primary treatment pathways: traditional IVF with PGT ($13,400) and INVOcell with PGT ($9,400), both including preimplantation genetic testing and frozen embryo transfer. Supporting services include IUI, ICSI, egg donation, surrogacy, fertility preservation (egg/sperm/embryo freezing), gender selection, and male infertility treatment. The practice also provides holistic complementary services including acupuncture and nutritional counseling. All treatments are performed at a single location featuring an on-site embryology laboratory and egg retrieval suite with board-certified anesthesia services.

Products and services

• IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) with PGT Core IVF cycle service bundled with PGT for intended parents, including fertilization in the on-site lab, embryo culture, embryo biopsy for genetic analysis, and frozen embryo transfer back into the uterus; priced at $13,400 per cycle with medications billed separately.
• INVOcell with PGT FDA-approved intravaginal culture cycle that uses the patient's body for fertilization and early embryo development instead of a laboratory incubator, paired with PGT and frozen embryo transfer; priced at $9,400 per cycle for eligible patients.
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) Insemination procedure in which washed semen is placed directly into the uterus using assisted reproductive technology to increase the chance of fertilization for heterosexual couples, single parents, and LGBTQ+ patients using donor sperm.
• Egg Donation Fertility treatment using eggs harvested from a screened donor and transferred to the intended mother, used for women with premature ovarian insufficiency, diminished ovarian reserve, or same-sex male couples needing an egg source.
• Gestational Surrogacy Embryo transfer to a gestational carrier who carries the pregnancy to term, used when pregnancy is not safe or possible for the intended parent; coordinated via partnership with Prime Genetics.
• Fertility Preservation Cryopreservation of eggs, sperm, or embryos using vitrification for future use, particularly for patients facing cancer treatment or age-related fertility decline.
• Gender Selection Sex selection via PGT combined with IVF or INVOcell to choose the sex of embryos for family balancing or to prevent sex-linked genetic diseases.
• Male Infertility Treatment Comprehensive evaluation and treatment for male factor infertility, including semen analysis, hormone testing, ICSI, IVF, and donor sperm options.
• Reciprocal IVF Family-building method in which one woman provides eggs and her female partner carries the pregnancy, enabling both women to have a genetic link to the child.
• LGBTQ Family Building Comprehensive fertility services for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, including IVF, IUI, surrogacy, egg donation, sperm donation, and reciprocal IVF, with donor sperm sourced from Fairfax Cryobank and California Cryobank.
• Endometriosis Treatment Treatment of endometriosis-related infertility using medication, IUI, IVF, and surgery to manage symptoms and improve fertility outcomes.
• Holistic Fertility Treatments Complementary therapies, including acupuncture, nutritional education, and wellness counseling, to support fertility treatment and improve conception chances.
• Surgical Procedures Surgical fertility procedures including laparoscopy and microsurgical tubal anastomosis (tubal ligation reversal) for patients requiring operative correction.
