Tissue that lines the uterus is attached to the ovaries, fallopian tubes and other pelvic organs and may cause infertility.

Treatment Options

1) Laparoscopy to diagnose problem followed by either surgery and/or medications
2) If fallopian tubes unaffected, Artificial Insemination (AI) would be a viable option
3) IVF (in vitro fertilization)

What You Need to Know About Coverage!

Drug coverage varies widely from one insurance carrier to another. Some drug insurance plans cover a limited number of trials and some have a limited dollar value.

Drug costs are significantly more for in vitro fertilization cycles than insemination cycles. You should investigate your coverage before beginning any drug protocol.

Ovulation Induction (OI) and Artificial Insemination (AI) are services covered under OHIP.

IVF treatment for women with open tubes is NOT funded under OHIP.
