A medical center in Mobile resumed in vitro fertilization services Monday after pausing the practice for over a month.  

Many IVF service providers halted their operations in late February after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos were children. This decision created uncertainty among IVF providers who were unsure of the legal ramifications to continue the practice. 

The Center for Reproductive Medicine in Mobile announced the decision to resume providing IVF services on social media. 

“We are thrilled to announce that the Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM) will be resuming full services beginning April 1, 2024,” the center posted on Facebook. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering patience and understanding while we navigated the challenges posed by the Alabama Supreme Court decision and the subsequent legislation passed by the Alabama legislature regarding IVF. After careful deliberation and thorough preparations, we look forward to welcoming you back to CRM and continuing our journey together in building families and fulfilling dreams.”
