EVERY LOSS MATTERS

Care that makes room for answers and support.

Whether this is your first early loss or you have experienced recurrent losses, Pollin brings clinical investigation, evidence-based care, and emotional support together in one personalized pathway.

EXPERIENCE

Knowledge and expertise

Royal College-certified REI fertility specialists review your history and guide your investigation.

INVESTIGATION

Comprehensive testing

Testing is selected to evaluate genetic, anatomic, immunologic, clotting, hormonal, and other relevant factors.

TREATMENT

Evidence-based options

Recommendations are tied to your findings and may include medication, supplements, surgery, IVF with genetic testing, or other care.

WHOLE-PERSON CARE

Emotional and allied support

Mental health, naturopathic, and genetic counselling support can be incorporated where appropriate.

UNDERSTANDING POSSIBLE CAUSES

Testing is guided by your history.

Sometimes a cause cannot be identified. When investigation is appropriate, your doctor may evaluate several categories rather than looking for one single explanation.

Chromosomal or genetic factors

Abnormal number of chromosomes within the embryo or rearrangement of genetic material within a chromosome originating from either the egg, sperm or both.

Anatomic obstacles

Fibroids, polyps or other uterine anomalies.

Immunology

Specific autoimmune conditions and/or alloimmune imbalances.

Lifestyle factors

Smoking, drug use, and obesity related conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to the questions our patients ask the most.

When should a pregnancy loss consultation be considered?

You may seek support after a first loss or after recurrent losses. A fertility specialist can review your history and discuss whether investigation, treatment, monitoring, or emotional support may be appropriate.

What can cause early pregnancy loss?

Possible factors include chromosomal or genetic changes, uterine anatomy, antiphospholipid syndrome, selected clotting conditions, hormonal or medical issues, and lifestyle factors. In some cases, no cause is found.

Are treatments available to reduce future risk of early pregnancy loss?

Treatment depends on investigation results and may include medication, surgery, IVF with preimplantation genetic testing, lifestyle or health optimization, and early pregnancy monitoring. A specialist will explain benefits, limitations, and alternatives.

Does Pollin offer follow-up care after a pregnancy loss?

Yes. At Pollin we are committed to supporting you both medically and emotionally through a pregnancy loss. We offer in-house surveillance and treatment options to ensure your pregnancy loss is managed efficiently and effectively. Our experienced team of mental health counsellors recognize the emotional toll a pregnancy loss can have on a couple or individual and are readily available to provide support when you need it most.

Do I need a referral to book a pregnancy loss consultation?

Yes, you do need a referral to see a fertility specialist in Ontario, however Pollin can facilitate one for you through an OHIP-covered, virtual appointment with our partner GP if you do not have your own GP.  

You can book an initial consultation directly through our website without a referral and a member of our care team will contact you before your appointment date to get you set up with one.

Is the pregnancy loss consultation covered by OHIP?

Your fertility doctor consultation, follow-ups and some testing is covered by OHIP.  Advanced testing, depending on your personal health profile may be an additional cost, and will be discussed with you prior to proceeding with any testing.
