We are so excited to welcome the Balanays' newest addition, a beautiful baby girl. She made her debut in September, weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces, after a successful IVF cycle at our Modesto facility. She's already the center of her parents' world.
Her mom, Jessica, recently shared: "Your team in Modesto gave us the call that changed our lives. You all were so kind, supportive, loving and caring. I couldn't imagine having another team support us through that time. We are so thankful for you!"
This is why we do what we do. Stories like Jessica and Jonathan's remind us that behind every treatment plan is a family waiting to begin, a dream waiting to come true.
To the Balanay family: thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Your sweet girl is already so loved, and we couldn't be happier for you. 🌟

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." — Desmond Tutu
One of Dr. Smikle's favorite quotes, and one that guides our approach to care at Laurel Fertility Care.
The holidays can amplify the emotions that come with infertility. Family gatherings, well-meaning questions, and the constant presence of children can make this time of year especially difficult for those trying to conceive.
If you're navigating infertility this holiday season, we want you to know:
💚 Your grief is valid
💚 Your hope matters
💚 You are not alone
💚 Your journey is worthy of compassion
We understand how challenging this season can be. We're here to provide not just medical care, but emotional support and understanding as you navigate your path to parenthood.
Give yourself permission to feel whatever you're feeling. Set boundaries where you need them. And remember that even in the darkness, there is light—and we're here to help you find it.
We're here for you—not just during the holidays, but every step of the way.

🧬 Why Genetic Carrier Screening Is So Important in Third-Party Reproduction

Before starting a donor or surrogacy journey, Laurel Fertility Care performs genetic carrier screening to help identify if an individual carries any inherited conditions that could be passed to a child.
✔️ For Egg & S***m Donors: Screening ensures donors don’t unknowingly carry the same genetic condition as the intended parent.
✔️ For Intended Parents: Matching results help create safe, compatible pairings which reduces the risk of genetic disorders in embryos.
✔️ For Gestational Carriers: It gives peace of mind that embryos transferred have already been carefully screened for known risks.
Genetic carrier screening is a proactive step that allows us to build families with confidence, clarity, and care. Because when it comes to creating life, knowledge truly is protection. 💚

When pregnancy loss happens repeatedly, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. But there are additional options to explore. 💙
In this video, Dr. Collin Smikle, Medical Director at Laurel Fertility Care, explains intrauterine PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, an innovative approach that may help improve uterine receptivity for patients experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss.
PRP therapy uses your body's own healing properties to potentially enhance the uterine environment and support successful implantation. This treatment represents one of the many advanced options we offer to help you on your path to parenthood.
If you've experienced multiple pregnancy losses, know that you don't have to navigate this alone. Our team is here to explore every available option with you.

At Laurel Fertility Care, we're here to help you understand the full range of possibilities and guide you toward the options that align with your needs. Every journey is unique—and we honor that.
Here are some of the family-building options we offer:
✨ Reciprocal IVF: One partner provides the eggs, the other carries the pregnancy—allowing both partners to be physically involved.
✨ S***m or egg donation: We work with trusted donor banks and help you choose a donor that aligns with your family-building goals.
✨ Gestational carrier (surrogacy): For individuals or couples who need support carrying a pregnancy, we'll walk you through the legal, medical, and emotional aspects of surrogacy.
✨ IUI or IVF: Depending on your fertility needs, we offer intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) using donor s***m or donor eggs.
✨ Fertility preservation: We offer egg and s***m freezing for individuals undergoing gender-affirming care, medical treatment, or simply wanting to preserve your options for the future.
