Success rates matter, but they are only one part of the picture.

Choosing a fertility clinic means understanding what happens behind those numbers.

The team. The lab. The systems. The consistency of care.

Patients deserve both strong outcomes and a team they trust.

In a recent post, I shared the new long-term egg freezing study, Freezing First: Insights From 8 Years of Planned Oocyte Cryopreservation (PMID: 41352516).

In that study, about 10.4% of patients returned to use their frozen eggs. The numbers vary across studios, but what remains consistent is that not using frozen eggs is not necessarily a bad outcome!

The goal of egg freezing is to preserve the option, not to make sure you will need those eggs. For many patients, it may mean life unfolded in a way that made the backup plan unnecessary.

Fertility care shouldn’t be a locked door.

This week is Canadian Fertility Awareness Week. It’s a time to break the silence around fertility and take steps to ensure that fertility care is understood, supported, and accessible to all.

More Canadians want children than ever before. So why is our birth rate at a record low of 1.25?

Yesterday I spoke to CTV about what I’ve been seeing as a fertility doctor in Toronto. The answer isn’t about desire. It’s about timing, biology, and access to care.

Egg freezing is a useful tool, but it works best when expectations are realistic and counselling is personalized.

A recently released 8-year study reinforces what we already tell patients every day: age matters, egg number matters, and egg freezing is not a guarantee.

The right plan for you depends on your age, ovarian reserve, and family-building goals.

April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month, and it feels like the right time to talk about a condition that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.

Adenomyosis happens when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the uterine muscle, causing heavy bleeding, painful cramps, and pelvic pressure. It may also be linked to challenges with implantation and pregnancy.

When it comes to fertility treatment, the uterine environment matters. There are strategies we can use to support implantation, including timing transfers carefully and monitoring lining quality closely.

Swipe to learn more about what adenomyosis is and what your options may look like.
