Pacific Coast Reproductive Society was founded in 1947 with a small group of physicians interested in reproduction, meeting in each other's homes to discuss fertility issues; this group, led by Abe Abarbanel, Sam Glass, Sheldon Payne, Edward Tyler and Gordon Rosenbloom, quickly grew to 35–40 doctors who organized as the Los Angeles Fertility Society. In 1952, Abe Abarbanel organized a Regional Meeting of the American Society of the Study of Sterility, held at the old Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles, where anyone with an interest in reproduction (and $2) was welcome.

An organizational meeting was held in April 1954 at the San Francisco meeting of the American Society of the Study of Sterility, where 35 members signed the register as charter members of the Western Branch and Dr. Sheldon Payne was elected the first president. At the November 1955 meeting members voted to change the name to the Pacific Coast Fertility Society, and in 1998 the decision was made to change the name to the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society, reflecting the more general interests of its current membership.
