👶Never past your prime

Generation Prime offers personalized fertility solutions so families in different age and health situations get their best chances of starting a family. 

• You’ve got options. They offer IVF and IUI treatments, as well as surrogate pregnancies. Oh, and they also have egg and sperm banks in-house.  
• Don’t wait ‘til it’s late. Have other priorities in mind but still want a family in the future? They freeze eggs, sperm, and ovarian tissues! The last one freezes the egg-producing tissues in the ovary so cancer patients can still get pregnant post-op. 
• That’s not all! They test embryos to make sure they are healthy before implantation, and find out the best times to implant.

Who is it for? A lot more people can benefit from fertility treatments than you think! Couples can undergo IVF to prevent genetic diseases from being inherited by the next generation.

🍼 What’s with the $$$?
