FERTILITY CARE WITH CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING

Your care plan can respect both medical needs and Halacha.

Pollin works closely with patients and their rabbi to understand religious observance, practical timing, and the safeguards needed throughout testing and treatment.

01
YOU

Your goals and preferences

Your medical history, questions, family-building goals and religious considerations begin the conversation.

02
YOUR RABBI/MASHGIACH

Halachic Guidance

Pollin can coordinate with your rabbi, and or, mashgiach to ensure religious requirements are understood before care begins.

03
POLLIN

Medical coordination

Your fertility team plans testing and treatment around the clinical and observance considerations that apply to you.

FOUR AREAS OF SUPPORT

Thoughtful coordination at each point of care.

Some needs are about timing.  Others concern sample collection, laboratory identification, or who observes a process or procedure.

01

Tahrat HaMishpacha

If intercourse timing after Mikvah conflicts with ovulation, your physician can discuss whether medication may help delay or stimulate ovulation.

02

Sperm collection and evaluation

With rabbinic guidance, non-spermacidal collection condoms may be used. QR coding, photo identification, and a Mashgiach, or Mashgicha can support sample identification.

03

Shabbat scheduling

Where clinically possible, your team can adjust cycle timing to avoid diagnostic tests or procedures on the Sabbath.

04

Laboratory and procedural observation

Pollin can accommodate a Mashgiach, or Mashgicha to observe laboratory handling of eggs, sperm, embryos and most fertility treatment procedures, as required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to the questions our patients ask the most.

Your dedicated care team will explain the clinical, legal, counselling, screening and coordination requirements that apply to your chosen journey.

How does Pollin Fertility work with Halachic guidance?

Pollin works closely with patients and their rabbi to understand the religious requirements that apply to fertility testing and treatment. Accommodations are planned alongside clinical needs.

Can care be scheduled around Shabbat?

Where clinically possible, Pollin can adjust the timing of treatment cycles, procedures, or diagnostic tests to avoid the Sabbath. Because fertility care is time sensitive, discuss these needs early with your physician and rabbi.

What options are available for sperm collection?

Under rabbinic guidance, non-spermicidal collection condoms may be used. Pollin can also support sample identification through QR coding, photo identification, and accommodation of a Mashgiach.

Can a Mashgiach/Mashgicha observe laboratory procedures?

Yes. Pollin Fertility can accommodate a Mashgiach/Mashgicha to observe laboratory handling of eggs, sperm, and embryos as well as most fertility treatment procedures when required.

Can my Pollin Fertility doctor help with Taharat HaMishpacha timing?

If the timing of intercourse after Mikvah does not align with ovulation, your fertility doctor can discuss whether medication may be appropriate to delay or stimulate ovulation.
