Yes, but we recommend you check with the pharmacy beforehand to make sure they have the medication and supplies in stock and that a staff member will be able to explain how to prepare and inject the medication. Some pharmacies don’t carry fertility drugs and will need to order them. To avoid delays, we recommend using a pharmacy specialized in fertility treatments, contact our team for further assistance.

Due to high demand and limited space, we can’t guarantee your insemination will take place during your next cycle. But we do our best to keep up with demand and make sure a patient isn’t refused for two consecutive cycles.

There’s no set rule about having an insemination only every second month. That said, we’re currently experiencing a high demand for insemination. We try to keep up as best we can by giving all our patients the opportunity to have insemination.

Yes, you need to wait for a call from one of our nurses, unless a coordination nurse explicitly told you to start your medication before hearing from her.

You’ll need to see your doctor again, especially if this is your third failed insemination. Your doctor may also want to see you for other reasons.

You need to let our team know by email at infoassistant@cliniqueovo.com. Then it’s up to you to find a doctor who will follow you for the rest of your pregnancy. But you should know that clinique ovo has a prenatal department that can do screening tests and ultrasounds. We recommend that all patients have a viability scan at 7 weeks, either here or somewhere else (in which case, we ask that you send us the report).

Unfortunately, we can’t tell you where you are on the waiting list for a first appointment. But rest assured you’ll be contacted as soon as you’re at the top of the list and a time slot opens up.

The wait time for a first appointment depends on availability and time of year. We can’t tell you how long it will take to see one of our professionals.

The total wait time for IVF varies from case to case and depends on the medical information in each individual file. For these reasons, we’re unable to provide an average wait time.

If you’ve reported your D1 for artificial insemination or for an IVF treatment already underway, we’ll call you within 48 to 72 business hours. Otherwise, it can take 72 hours or more before we call you. These delays, which are completely normal, are factored into the overall process and the medication schedules.

We’ll send you an email asking you to confirm that you still want to go ahead with the procedure. It might go to your junk mail folder, so check it regularly and keep your patient file updated until you hear from us.

You can email our medical records department at archives@cliniqueovo.com. They will send you a form to fill out and send back.
