The IWK's Reproductive Endocrine Centre helps by offering initial assessment and screening of men and women with fertility challenges, including diagnostic procedures and blood work.
How we help
The initial visit will include consultation, and may involve diagnostic procedures in clinic, bloodwork investigations and/or procedures in the diagnostic imaging department. Initial treatment options will be discussed, and follow up arranged. Referrals to a psychologist or psychiatrist with special interest in fertility issues can also be organized if needed.
If assisted reproductive therapies are needed, such as intrauterine insemination, donor insemination, or in vitro fertilisation, the patient should be directly referred to the Atlantic Fertility Clinic. More information about the Atlantic Fertility Clinic’s services.
Accessing this Clinic, Program or Service
All patients must be referred to the IWK by family doctors or other health care professionals. Patients can self-refer to the Atlantic Fertility Clinic for services that are not covered under MSI (eg. intrauterine insemination, donor insemination, in vitro fertilisation), but will have to pay privately for their appointments.
