Northstar is a fertility clinic built on two things that rarely go together: rigorous science and real warmth. Board-certified physicians, an on-site embryology lab, honest answers — for every path to parenthood.
A fertility assessment gives you real answers — ovarian reserve, hormones, and a plan — long before anything feels urgent.
From a first fertility assessment to IVF, egg freezing, donor and surrogacy programs, and inclusive family building — all under one roof, explained in plain, reassuring language.
Eggs are retrieved and combined with sperm in our lab to create embryos; one is then gently placed in the uterus.
Prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around ovulation — a simpler, less invasive first step.
Retrieve and freeze your eggs now to use later — preserving today’s fertility for whenever the time is right.
A clear, gentle workup — hormones, ovarian reserve, and a semen analysis — so you understand exactly where you stand.
We will never quote you a single rosy number. Success depends most on age and diagnosis — so we show our outcomes the way they should be shown: age-banded, with the metric named, and with the disclaimers that honesty requires.
Live births per egg retrieval — the most patient-meaningful figure, counting a retrieval and all transfers from it.
Please read: Success rates shown on this template are illustrative figures for demonstration only and are NOT actual outcomes for any clinic. Individual results vary; success depends on age, diagnosis, and many other factors. A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient characteristics and treatment approaches differ from clinic to clinic. National data is reported to SART (Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology) and the CDC. Past results do not guarantee a future pregnancy or live birth.
From the first hello to the day you graduate to your OB, here is the path — so nothing about it feels like a mystery. You are never walking it alone.
You meet your reproductive endocrinologist, share your history and hopes, and leave understanding the paths that might fit. No commitment — just clarity.
60 minutesBloodwork, an ultrasound, and a semen analysis help us find the “why.” We test both partners, because answers shouldn’t be one-sided.
~1–2 weeksYour team designs a protocol around your diagnosis, age, and priorities — and reviews the timeline and the costs honestly, up front.
1 visitWhether it’s IUI or IVF, your nurse coordinator builds your calendar, teaches you everything, and is a text away. Monitoring keeps it precise.
2–6 weeksFor IVF: a short, sedated egg retrieval, then our embryologists do their work, and a gentle transfer follows. You’re cared for at every moment.
1 morning eachA blood test, then early ultrasounds confirm a healthy pregnancy. Around 8–10 weeks, we celebrate your “graduation” to your OB — the best goodbye there is.
~10 weeksOur physicians are fellowship-trained reproductive endocrinologists. But credentials are only half of it — meet the team that will actually pick up the phone.
IVF, recurrent pregnancy loss, diminished ovarian reserve
Male-factor infertility, IUI, fertility preservation
LGBTQ+ family building, donor & surrogacy, PCOS
Every journey is different, and not every one ends the way we hope. These stories are shared with permission — and they’re individual experiences, not promises.
“After two years and a lot of heartbreak, Dr. Marsh sat with us and was finally honest about our chances — and then built a plan we believed in. Our daughter is asleep on my chest as I write this.”
“I froze my eggs at 33 because I wasn’t ready, not because I was out of time. Northstar never once made me feel like I needed a reason. Just real numbers and zero pressure.”
“As two dads, we walked in nervous about being “explained to.” Instead Dr. Okafor mapped our whole path on the first visit. Our carrier delivered twins in March. We’re still in disbelief.”
Treatment is a real investment, and we believe the money should never come as a shock. We verify your insurance for free, give you a written estimate up front, and walk you through every option.
Bundle two or three IVF cycles at a reduced rate — many journeys need more than one, and this softens the cost.
A flat fee for a set number of cycles with a partial or full refund if it doesn’t result in a live birth. Eligibility applies.
We work with fertility lending partners and offer in-house payment plans to spread treatment costs over time.
We’ll point you to fertility grants and offer discounts for military, teachers, and first responders.
We partner with benefits providers like Progyny, Carrot, and Maven — if your employer offers coverage, we’ll coordinate it.
Washington and many states mandate some fertility coverage. Our counselor verifies your specific benefits — for free — before you commit.
