About

CHARM Fertility (the Centre for Human Assisted Reproductive Medicine) is a physician-led fertility clinic with three locations across the western GTA: Etobicoke (101 Westmore Drive), Oakville (418 North Service Rd. East), and Brampton (2250 Bovaird Dr E). Founded and led by Dr. Lamiaa Migahed, a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialist, the clinic offers intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), ovulation induction, egg freezing, donor egg and donor sperm programs, ICSI, Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (CCS), sonohysterograms, semen analysis, and 3D ultrasound.

CHARM participates in the Ontario Fertility Program and promotes OHIP-funded IVF as a way to reduce the financial barrier to treatment, with cycle monitoring and protocols managed at CHARM and IVF lab procedures performed through a partner Toronto facility. The clinic explicitly welcomes single women, accepts cash, debit and Visa, and offers third-party financing through HealthSmart Financial. CHARM operates on a single-physician model, meaning one doctor oversees a patient's testing and treatment from start to finish — patients work primarily with the clinic's nursing and ultrasound teams day-to-day.

Initial consultations are by physician referral and typically scheduled within 4 to 6 weeks. With its western-GTA footprint serving Etobicoke, Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Oakville, Brampton, and surrounding communities, CHARM Fertility is a well-established option for patients seeking accessible, OHIP-supported fertility care close to home.

What Makes Them Unique

Complex Cases & Specialty Programs

Website mentions handling cases that 'failed to respond to other medical or surgical interventions' for IVF, but no specific complex-case program described

Treatments & Pricing

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

CHARM offers intrauterine insemination at all three GTA locations, with sperm preparation handled in-clinic and the procedure performed by Dr. Migahed and the nursing team.

IVF

IVF is offered with OHIP-funded cycles available. Cycle monitoring and protocols are managed at CHARM, while egg retrievals and embryo transfers are performed through a partnership with a Toronto IVF lab.

Egg Freezing

Egg freezing is listed as part of CHARM's fertility preservation services, supporting patients who want to preserve eggs for future use.

Fertility Preservation

CHARM's fertility preservation program covers blood testing, cycle monitoring, ultrasound, egg freezing and semen analysis to help patients understand and protect their reproductive options.

Ovulation Induction

Ovulation induction uses medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce regular ovulation. CHARM combines it with cycle monitoring as part of basic fertility treatment, often paired with timed intercourse or IUI.

Egg Donation

Donor egg programs are offered, and the clinic notes that patients with low ovarian reserve or persistently elevated FSH may be candidates for donor eggs.

Sperm Donation

Donor sperm is available as part of CHARM's assisted reproduction services and is used in IUI and IVF cycles for individuals and couples needing it.

Genetic Testing (PGT)

Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (CCS) is offered to test embryos for chromosomal abnormalities prior to transfer.
