First Appointment

First Appointment

We need to know your situation better. At your first appointment, we'll take a complete medical history for you and your partner, if you have one. This visit is covered by OHIP.

Testing Phase

Testing Phase

Your doctor will order blood tests for you and your partner (if you have one). If you have already done some testing and you bring them to your doctor, you will not need to do them again. Female patients will have an ultrasound and male patients will have sperm tests. This phase may also include monitoring your cycle to see what your body does naturally. Most tests are covered by OHIP.

IVF Cycle

IVF Cycle

An Ivf Cycle includes a pretreatment phase and then blood and ultrasound monitoring for approximately 12 days. You will be asked to come to the clinic for this 5-7 times between 7AM and 9AM Monday to Sunday. Your doctor will review your results after each visit and decide on the dosage for your daily injections. After approximately 10-12 days of your daily injection, your doctor will decide when it's time for your egg retrieval.

Egg Retrieval

Egg Retrieval

The process of retrieving your eggs takes about 15 minutes. You’ll be given a sedative and a local anesthetic. A TRIO doctor will use a needle to drain the fluid and eggs from the follicles.

Embryo Transfer

Embryo Transfer

5 days after your egg retrieval, you will have an embryo transfer. All unused embryos will be frozen for future use.

Laboratory Phase

Laboratory Phase

Your eggs will be fertilized with your partner’s sperm or your selected donor sperm using a process called ICSI.
