LifeQuest Offers Egg Freezing Program for Fertility Preservation

As revolutionary as the birth control pill, egg freezing, an assisted reproductive technology, is giving younger women an opportunity to slow the ticking of their biological clocks.  For instance, a healthy 29 year-old-woman knows she wants to have a biological family; but she has not yet met her life partner, and she is dedicated to building a career. Still, she worries about the statistics that tell her infertility could be an issue, especially as women delay pregnancy. Now, egg freezing provides an opportunity for her to preserve her eggs at the peak of her fertility.

With the launch of HERS (Human Eggs for Reproductive Safekeeping), LifeQuest Centre for Reproductive Medicine is the first fertility centre in Toronto to offer an elective egg freezing program for fertility preservation. Full information about the program is available on the website: www.lifequesteggfreezing.com or click on the "Egg Freezing" tab on the drop down menu of this website.


LifeQuest to Attend Primary Care Today Tradeshow

LifeQuest will once again participate at the prestigious Primary Care Today Tradeshow and Conference for Family Physicians and General Practitioners, taking place in Toronto in May. The LifeQuest booth will provide information and facts about infertility, as well as highlight the importance of diagnosing and referring patients with fertility issues to a clinic that specializes in helping couples with these issues.

Mandatory Counselling for IVF Patients

In anticipation of the passing of proposed government legislation that will make counselling for IVF patients mandatory, LifeQuest has decided to proactively institute its own counselling policies. Effective July 1st, 2007, all IVF patients must receive a minimum one hour counselling session from LifeQuest's counsellor, Sherry Dale, MSW .

Counselling helps couples deal with the stress of infertility and prepares them for the emotional highs and lows of treatment. In the IVF counselling session, patients get the chance to ask questions, learn from the experiences of a counsellor who has first hand experience with fertility treatment, learn what to expect emotionally during IVF, and develop coping strategies. To book an appointment call the IVF reception desk at 416 506-0804.

Further information is available in the Our Team and Counselling & Support sections of our website.
