Berry Fertility Launches Revamped App Amid 39% Jump in Egg Freezing Year-on-Year
Created by Fertility Patients, for Fertility Patients — Berry Simplifies IUI, IVF, Egg Freezing, Embryo Transfers, and More SAN FRANCISCO, June 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Berry Fertility, a leading patient fertility management platform, today announced a revamped app with a powerful suite of new features designed to simplify and support every stage of the fertility journey, from IUI and IVF, to egg freezing and embryo transfers. Fertility care is in high demand and short supply. Egg freezing cycles have more than doubled in the past five years, and each new year shows record-breaking growth.

With this new rollout, Berry customers can: Access Step-by-Step Treatment Guides: Understand what to expect from IUI, IVF, egg freezing, embryo transfers, and timed intercourse with simplified breakdowns of complex care plans. Manage Medications: Organize medications and dosing instructions more easily and confidently, with access to clear medical information and how-tos. To date, Berry has delivered over 200,000 medication reminders. Smartly Add Medications: Use the phone's camera to quickly scan dozens of medications to import into the app. Track Appointments, Symptoms, Lab Results, Milestones, and Reminders: Stay on top of everything — from ultrasound dates to medication times — with a custom fertility calendar. Track symptoms and store lab results to support more informed conversations with providers. Access a Library of In-Depth Resources: Get a heads-up on what to expect and receive helpful resources at every stage of treatment, including articles, protocol diagrams, videos, common FAQ, and a fertility glossary. Share With Your Support Network: Share a fertility treatment with anyone — a partner, parent, or friend — so they can follow along or provide support. Talk to an Expert Anytime: Chat with the Berry team anytime for help with treatment questions, tech issues, or emotional support. "Our team at Berry is made up of patients who have gone through fertility treatments themselves," said Irene Alvarado, co-founder and CEO of Berry Fertility. "We built Berry to be the tool we all wished we had — something that makes fertility care more accessible, less stressful, and a whole lot more human." Berry is available in all 50 U.S. states, Mexico, Australia, and Canada, and currently holds a five-star rating in the App Store, far above the industry standard of 2.4 stars.

Assam Health Minister issues certificates to 5 institutions to establish ART clinics, surrogacy centres
Guwahati: In a significant step toward improving reproductive healthcare services in the state, Assam Health and Family Welfare Minister Ashok Singhal distributed official certificates to five institutions for establishing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Clinics, ART Banks and Surrogacy Clinics in a programme held in Guwahati. The institutions that received certification include Apollo Fertility, Guwahati; Downtown Hospital in Guwahati, GMCH Fertility and IVF Centre, Guwahati; The Institute of Human Reproduction in Guwahati and Swasti Hospital in Rangia. During the programme, Minister Ashok Singhal on Friday stated that today is an important day in Assam's health and family welfare sector, as the process of surrogacy has now come under formal government regulation in Assam. He added that the certification of these institutions will help bring hope and happiness to distressed couples who have been struggling to conceive a child. This milestone follows the implementation of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021 and the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, by the Government of India, along with their corresponding rules notified in 2022. In alignment with these national regulations, the Government of Assam established the State Assisted Reproductive Technology and Surrogacy Board and the Appropriate Authority for ART and Surrogacy in December 2023. To facilitate the application process for institutions seeking to establish ART and surrogacy services, the Appropriate Authority launched a state-wide drive through newspaper advertisements on January 30, 2025. Applications are processed via the National ART & Surrogacy Portal, where institutions must submit their information online, followed by the submission of printed documents and payment of registration fees. Once verified, the institutions are inspected by the Appropriate Authority before receiving certification. Earlier this year, the first certificate was issued to an intending couple and surrogate mother after evaluation by the District Medical Board in Dibrugarh, marking the beginning of regulated surrogacy services in Assam. Minister Singhal emphasised the government's commitment to ensuring safe, ethical and high-quality reproductive care. He said the state is dedicated to creating a transparent and accountable system that guarantees access to advanced reproductive services for couples in need. The programme was attended Dr. P. Ashok Babu, Commissioner & Secretary, Health & Family Welfare Department; Barnali Shama, Commissioner & Secretary, Health & Family Welfare Department; Dr. Umesh Phangcho, DHS, Asam and Dr. Heremba Bhattacharyya, Joint DHS(HQ) and Nodal Officer, Surrogacy and august presence of Senior Health Officers and other departmental officials.
