Vancouver Island residents having fertility issues will no longer have to travel to Vancouver for treatment starting this fall.
Vancouver Island residents with fertility issues will no longer have to travel to the mainland for treatment when a new full-service In Vitro Fertilization clinic opens in Victoria this fall.
Infertility Specialist Dr. Ginevra Mills says B.C.’s capital used to have an IVF clinic, but it closed in 2019. “When you have to bank on travelling, especially when those modes of transportation are very unreliable, it causes a lot of stress and anxiety for patients, it adds a lot of costs and it makes the process more difficult than it needs to be.”
“We have really taken care and attention to having the most state-of-the-art IFV Lab that will be available. So top of the line, newest equipment and techniques,” Mills said. When she was 35, Curran discovered she had a poor ovarian reserve. This started a two-year journey that included surgery for Endometriosis and the removal of a fibroid, as well as two IVF cycles.
Curran finds that it’s a personal topic that often brings up a lot of emotions for people experiencing infertility.
