Tripod Fertility — FAQ

smart_toyAI-generated
Tripod Fertility follows the eligibility criteria of the Ontario Fertility Program, which sets the upper age limit for funded IVF cycles at 43 years old. Patients under this age with a valid OHIP card can access a single funded IVF cycle, with additional options for surrogacy or donor‑egg cycles as needed. While the program defines the age cap, Tripod’s clinicians may evaluate individual cases beyond this limit on a discretionary basis, offering personalized recommendations based on ovarian reserve, health status, and reproductive goals.
