Context for deciding whether IVF is the right next step for you.

IVF is one treatment pathway rather than the automatic next step for everyone. Ovulation induction, IUI or further investigation may be suggested first depending on your circumstances.

Key takeaways

  • IVF is considered for particular clinical reasons, not for everyone.
  • Other treatments may be offered first.
  • Cost and provincial funding also shape when IVF is started in Canada.
