Thank you Barry for the response & for the support! It’s always reassuring to know that we’re not the only ones going through this process especially during those moments when it just feels impossible.

Thank You!

Hey Kim,

Thanks for the well wishes. My daughter just turned 4 so we feel blessed every day.

My estimates do NOT include any funding from OHIP as we didn’t take that route when we did IVF. From what I recall, OHIP covers one round of IVF so it can save you a fair amount.

Best of luck to you and your husband. Reach out any time if you need someone to talk to for support.

My husband & I are currently going through fertility treatment & just completed our 3rd round of IUI. We’re waiting on the results for this round but have started talking about IVF just in case.

The information you provided was detailed and very helpful. My question for you though is does the above cost breakout include the portion of IVF that is OHIP funded or was the cost after funding?

Hi Vee,

I’m not 100% sure, but you may need a referral from your doctor.

This is too good to believe that you took your time and go deeply to explain all steps and costs as well. I would like to thank you for the clarification and congratulate your couple to make it possible. Let me hope that prices are getting down compared to last year’s.

Crutie,

Technically speaking when doing IVF, there is a higher chance of twins, but it’s not some astronomical number. The percentage does go up when couples elect to put two fertilized eggs back into the host. The reason some people do this is because they’re only paying the transfer fee once. This usually only happens if you’re down to your last two eggs. You should talk to your doctor if you’re thinking about going this route.

As for health issues, IVF babies do have increased odds at some health issues, but some things can be monitored and tested for while the the embryo is growing. Those tests cost extra.

Hi Crutie,

I wish you and your partner luck. It can be a tough journey, that I know for sure.
