What is IVF.CA ?

We are your patients...

... and future patients.

Get to know us!

... and future patients. Join us!

Ask a person experiencing infertility,

Ask a person experiencing infertility, and they will tell you...

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Physically it is years of tests, procedures, pills, and needles.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Emotionally it is one of the toughest roller coaster rides of cyclical hope and devastation you will ever experience.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Mentally it is a hard concept to grapple with. There could be a reason, or no reason at all.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Romantically it changes your your sex life, and your own connection with your most intimate body parts.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Spiritually it challenges your belief in a higher power, in fairness, and in what is meant to be and not meant to be.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Socially it is an isolating and terribly misunderstood problem for something so common that it affects 15% of the population.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Politically it is debated and debated and change is glacial.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Financially it is incredibly expensive and can rapidly drain your life savings with no guarantee of success.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, Biologically it is the potential lack of passing on of one’s own genes.

Ask a person experiencing infertility, and they will tell you it is so much more than a protocol

What patients are saying about the lack of government funded IVF..

Members comments on non-funding... “ Dear OHIP: My reproductive organs aren’t working right, so why aren't you supporting my treatment? Organs are organs - why are you being biased? “

Members comments on non-funding... “It really bothers me that my tax dollars fund abortions but they don't fund infertility treatments. “

Members comments on non-funding... “Gov't funding of IVF would pay for itself by reducing the incidence of multiples and the associated costs. “

Members comments on non-funding... “ Infertility is a medical condition, not a lifestyle choice. “

Members comments on non-funding... “ Tubal ligations and vasectomies are covered but not fertility treatments. There are much cheaper forms of birth control but I only have one choice - IVF. “

Members comments on non-funding... “ My husband was diagnosed with a sperm morphology of less than one percent at 28 years of age. How is that a choice? “

Members comments on non-funding... “ Our family doctor told us that deciding to have children is a lifestyle choice and is not covered by the Government of BC MSP plan or BC Travel Assistance Program. I did not make any choices; infertility made the choice for us! “

Members comments on non-funding... “ My husband and I are thankful we can even give IVF a try, unfortunately it's not something all infertile couples can afford. “

Members comments on non-funding... “ My extended health plan does not cover fertility medications as it considers them "lifestyle drugs", however it does cover medications for erectile dysfunction and smoking cessation. “

Members comments on non-funding... “ Government assisted IVF will save both our health care and social programs millions. It just makes sense. “

Members comments on non-funding... “ For a woman with bilaterally blocked tubes, IVF is often the only path to conception. 3 cycles of IVF covered by OHIP.....

Members comments on non-funding For a man with severe male factor infertility, IVF is often the only path to conception. Not one cent of IVF covered by OHIP. “

Members comments on non-funding... “The Ontario Government wants everyone to celebrate their family on Family Day every February but they won't help people have a family. Family Day is just another painful reminder of the struggles of infertility. “

Members comments on non-funding... “It seems that the BC government only wants wealthy people to have access to fertility treatments and private adoption. “

Members comments on non-funding... “My tax dollars pay for incarcerated criminals to get a university education but it won't help me as a taxpayer pay for my medical needs. “

Members thanking the professional community...

Convention messages from the patient community “ Thank you to the Doctors and Nurses of Ontario's Network of Experts in Fertility for treating me like a human, and not a number. “

Convention messages from the patient community “ Thank you to Xytex Cryo International Sperm Bank for making the most difficult decision of our life easier by providing awesome customer service, local distributors and prompt and supportive communications.”
