IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Pollin physicians are unable to provide a second opinion in the following circumstances:

  • If you are in an active treatment cycle with another fertility clinic
  • If you are currently experiencing a pregnancy loss

We ask that you book your appointment either before you start, or after you complete your fertility treatment cycle, or at least 2 months post pregnancy loss to ensure enough time has passed for your hormone levels to return to baseline.

FERTILITY TESTING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to the questions our patients ask the most.

What does a fertility second opinion include?

A Pollin fertility doctor reviews your medical history, diagnosis, and previous treatment cycles, then discusses their interpretation, possible options, and recommended next steps.

Why might a second opinion be right for my case?

You may want greater clarity about a diagnosis, expert review after unsuccessful treatment, another perspective on possible options, or more confidence before making a decision.

Who provides the second opinion review at Pollin?

Each case is reviewed and presented by a Pollin fertility physician. Our fertility physicians are Royal College-trained obstetrician-gynecologists with subspecialty training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

Is a second opinion covered by OHIP at Pollin?

Yes, your second option consultation is covered by OHIP at Pollin.

Do I need a referral for fertility testing at Pollin?

Can a Pollin physician review my current cycle I’m in at another clinic?

No. Pollin cannot review treatment plans or real-time results for patients who are actively in a treatment cycle at another clinic.  You would need to review your history, diagnostics, testing results, and treatment plan prior to starting your cycle or after its completion.  

I have experienced a pregnancy loss. How long should I wait before seeking a second opinion?

We ask that you book your appointment at least 2 months post pregnancy loss to ensure enough time has passed for your hormone levels to return to baseline. 

Does Pollin need to contact my current clinic to get my previous medical and treatment history?

We can submit an ROI (Request for Information) to your current clinic on your behalf with your signed permission, or you can send us your records securely on your own by email, the choice is up to you.  It is often preferable for you to request your own records and email them to us 10 days prior to your appointment so our physicians have time to thoroughly review your case prior to meeting with you.

A member of our team will walk you through the process when you request a consultation.

Greater clarity. Better decision making.
