“A bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you do not make the turn.”
Welcome
We believe strongly that having a child is a basic right of choice and work thoughtfully and purposefully within an inclusive and anti-discriminatory framework. Whether you are trying to conceive at home or through a fertility clinic, are struggling after trying on your own, or knowing you need help from the start, we are here to support you.
We offer support to anyone who comes to us in their journey to become a parent or to expand their family, those who are looking for support after completing their family, and those whose dream it is to help someone else have a baby. We are available to support friends and family wishing to better understand and comfort loved ones, or to support you through a new phase of life once your family is complete. And for those who have decided to move on from treatments into a new and unexpected pathway, we are here for you as well.
In all these cases, we are here to answer your questions, help you navigate complex emotions and decisions, assuage your concerns, and help you step into the life that’s waiting for you.
Informed Fertility is based in Toronto, Ontario, and has capacity to support clients residing in Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Alberta, as well as people from around the world coming to Toronto for treatment. We work closely with well-respected clinics, fertility specialists, reproductive lawyers, supporting agencies and community organizations, as well as other professionals, in assisting our clients navigate the complexities of the assisted fertility journey.
