Hey, just curious who else is doing the Ontario funded IVF program?

 

How long did you have to wait to start your IVF?

 

If your fresh IVF didn't produce a BFP, how long do you have to wait to do a FET?

[IVF rookie]

I'm on the list but they told me I wouldn't get my chance until almost the end of the year. Said I was way at the bottom
We went ahead with a paid cycle instead. I didnt want to wait that long

[WishinNhopin]

So I have a failed cycle in nov and immediately started a cycle in Dec as paid new ohip system -had a bfn with that but was told I could start immediately into my fet cycle. I've decided to wait a period in between.

We are about to do a FET with our frozen embryo to try for baby #2.We also decided to go on the wait list now just Incase the frozen embryo doesn't work. we were told it's about 6-9months!

we did a funded IVF in January (BFN) and now we have to wait until May/June before we can start the first FET. 

 

i'm not sure if i want to wait that long and i might do an IUI inbetween

I had to wait since I had surgery in january but I'll be cycling in March/April (after the 8+ week) recovery time

Was on two wait lists when they opened as of last summer. ie. was only going to do another cycle if it was funded.

 

One clinic - immediately in.

 

Second clinic - said one month wait, then they flipped and said half a year, then they said even that wasn't a guarantee.

 

Went with the first!

 

Also curious about FETs. To be honest, I didn't think you could do a funded cycle and funded FET (separate from the IVF cycle transfer) within the same year.

I was told yesterday that the clinic is booking funded cycles into 2017. 

[Reena28]

My clinic is booking for 2017 as well. We're lucky we got on the list in October having heard about the possibility of a funded IVF. IVF cycle commenced Jan 1st - no embryo post icsi/PGS for transfer.

I got on the wait list before my first appointment with the RE last November. RE told us last week that we would likely be sometime after June but the clinic had already called me to ask if all my tests were done as if not, I would get bumped down the list if I wasn't ready. The clinic had said they were checking patients for April-June and July - Sept. My fingers are crossed we are in there somewhere.  We are planning to freeze anything we get and I hadn't thought about the wait for FET. Maybe I can book that as soon as they give me a start date.

I called the clinic in Oct.2015 and I was told i was one of the people on top of their list. Start day: Dec 29. blood test Feb 26.i have had failed icsi be4. Wondering if this time it will work.

[Hope15]

We are lucky to receive our confirmation for our funded cycle this March. I emailed my RE as soon as it was announced and he made sure to put us on the list. I am currently taking BCP and will be heading in for my second blood work/ ultrasound on the 25. I'm really excited and nervous about this... Hoping everything works out

Hey wishing you luck ladies on this upcoming funded cycle. I did my transfer jan 7th and ended in a bfn 😢 but will hopefully be starting my fet any day now ..oddly af hasn't arrivd-should have been here last Thursday

[Murried]

Currently on a wait list at OFC, signed the consent back in Dec, when I received my confirmation call in January, they said it would likely start by summer. Fingers crossed.

Hey, I'll be cycling in London and from time we were told IVF was our option to when we've been booked will be roughly 3 months. We are booked for a March start!

[Womb Occupied]

Just noticed this thread; there is another one in Intros, called "Ontario Covers 1 Round of IVF" that you can check out...

 

I have started my funded cycle at OFC, I am on day 5 of stims and doing well! We did our consent appointment in mid-October and got our call about 3 weeks later. We had been told late spring/early summer for our covered cycle, but we came up on the list at the end of January. 

Fingers crossed we pull out a few good embryos to have a couple goes at it!

 

Baby dust to all!
