Ordered Testing for you:‍

Your doctor has ordered some preliminary testing for you including blood work and a pelvic/transvaginal ultrasound that needs to be completed (on the same day) between days 2-5 of your cycle. For reference, Day 1 will be the first bright red, full flow bleed. Please wait until your menses arrives to book these appointments. 

• There are 2 tests not covered by OHIP: Anti-Mullerian Hormone ($125), and Vitamin D ($65)
• You will need a full bladder for your ultrasound
• You do not need to fast for your blood work

After your ultrasound, please go to the Patient Concierge desk and speak to our TNI receptionist to book your sonohysterogram.

Sonohysterogram: evaluates the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes

• Scheduled at 1 pm on from Mondays-Thursdays between days 5-10 of your cycle with one of our physicians
• You will need to take antibiotics as a precautionary measure 
  
  • Please let us know what pharmacy to send the prescription to
  • Please refer to our Sonohysterogram Patient Handout in the Pollin App > Library for more information on this test
    

Ordered Testing for your partner:

The doctor has ordered some blood work and a semen analysis with a DNA Fragmentation Index (non-OHIP, $200). These tests can be booked on the same day/visit as long as the schedule permits and based on your availability.

• Please ensure you input your OHIP number prior to booking these appointments to avoid paying for OHIP covered testing. 
• Please ensure you abstain from ejaculation for 2-7 days prior to this appointment. You can follow the instructions on our Semen Collection Instructions which you can view in the Library tab of the Pollin app

Follow-up Appointment:

Lastly, please let us know via the app or by calling us once you have both completed your tests so we can schedule your follow-up appointment to discuss the results. After this follow-up appointment has occurred, we can then release the results to you in the app for your viewing.
