The Emotional Side of Repeat IVF Cycles: Mental Health Awareness with CHR
In this special Mental Health Awareness Month episode of The Egg Factor, Dr. David Barad and Dr. Norbert Gleicher explore the emotional toll of fertility treatment—especially for patients undergoing multiple or back-to-back IVF cycles. At the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR), where many patients come after years of trying or after being turned away elsewhere, the emotional strain is a familiar—and critical—part of the journey.
From the rollercoaster of hope and heartbreak to the quiet exhaustion that can come with long-term treatment, this candid conversation offers insight, validation, and support. Dr. Barad and Dr. Gleicher also share what’s helped CHR patients cope over the years, and why mental health care should never be an afterthought in fertility medicine.
Brought to you by the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) on the Upper East Side of New York City. With over 40 years of experience and a history of innovation, CHR has been at the forefront of fertility care since the beginning.
Our founder, Dr. Norbert Gleicher, performed the first successful transvaginal egg retrieval in human history, helping to shape the future of IVF as we know it today. CHR is known for tackling some of the most challenging fertility cases—especially women over 40 and those with diminished ovarian reserve—by offering highly individualized, evidence-based care when others often turn patients away.
Our team has published more than 450 peer-reviewed research papers advancing reproductive medicine, reflecting our deep commitment not only to patient care but to the science that drives better outcomes. At CHR, you're never just a number. You're part of a community focused on giving you the personalized support, science, and hope you deserve.
