About
Hannam Fertility Centre (HFC) is a Toronto-based fertility clinic founded by Dr. Tom Hannam in 2006 and operating from a flagship location at Yonge & Bloor, with an Ottawa office offering in-person consultations and Ontario-wide virtual care. HFC is the exclusive Canadian partner of the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (CCRM), and its onsite embryology lab is the only fertility lab in Canada accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) — the differentiator most central to the brand. The clinic offers a full range of fertility services including IVF, IUI, egg freezing and embryo freezing, ovulation induction, PGT-A genetic testing, donor sperm and donor egg pathways, gestational carrier support, and reciprocal IVF for same-sex female couples.
Private IVF starts at $14,650 (excluding medications), and egg freezing at $10,300 (first year of storage included). HFC participates in the Ontario Fertility Program (OFP) for government-funded IVF and IUI, and currently reports no waitlist for funded cycles thanks to additional provincial funding allocations. The team includes seven REI fertility specialists and family physicians focused on a Natural Conception Program — described as Canada's largest — that prioritizes lower-intervention treatment.
Care is explicitly inclusive of single, coupled, and 2SLGBTQI+ patients, with no referral required to book a consultation. Onsite naturopathic support through A to Z Fertility and digital coordination through Venna Health round out a multidisciplinary model designed to shorten time to a healthy pregnancy.

What Makes Them Unique
Complex Cases & Specialty Programs
Site language explicitly serves patients who have switched from other clinics ('Can I switch clinics if I'm on another Clinic's Waitlist? Yes'). Dr. Robb specializes in recurrent pregnancy loss and fertility preservation. The IVF page lists 'unexplained infertility (after thorough testing)' and 'low or diminished ovarian reserve' among indications. Patient testimonials reference patients arriving after multiple failed cycles elsewhere.
Research & Affiliations
Exclusive Canadian partner of Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (CCRM) since 2014. Naturopaths Zeynep Uraz and Alan Vu are publishing a research study on diet and lifestyle education programs in collaboration with HFC. Multiple physicians hold academic appointments at U of T. HFC runs a MAINPRO+ accredited Fertility Preceptorship program for primary care providers. Outcomes reported aligned with CCRM/SART standards.
Treatments & Pricing
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI is offered through the Natural Conception Program, which uses prepared partner or donor sperm placed directly into the uterus. The procedure itself is OHIP-covered for Ontario residents (medications extra), and IUI is included in the OFP with no cycle limit.
Price
OHIP-covered procedure (Ontario residents); medications not included
IVF
Full IVF program with onsite egg retrieval, embryo culture, transfer, and freezing through the only CAP-accredited CCRM lab in Canada. Available privately or through OFP-funded cycles with no current waitlist.
Price
$14,650+ private (excludes medications and PGT). OFP-funded cycle available with no waitlist for eligible Ontario patients under 43.
Egg Freezing
Egg freezing using vitrification with onsite cryostorage at the CCRM Toronto lab. Begins with a 30-minute OHIP-covered consultation; treatment is led by a dedicated egg freezing specialist and supported by Venna Health's digital coordination platform.
Price
$10,300+ (includes first year of storage; medications extra). Elective egg freezing is not OFP-funded; medical fertility preservation is funded through OFP.

Embryo freezing using vitrification with onsite storage at the CCRM Toronto lab. Created via IVF using partner or donor sperm; embryos are typically eligible for PGT-A testing before storage.
Price
Bundled within IVF cycle pricing; FET starts at $3,950 (excludes medications)
Fertility Preservation
Fertility preservation through egg or embryo freezing for patients planning later parenthood, those uncertain about timing, or those facing medical treatments that may impact fertility. Vitrification freezing protocols and onsite cryo-storage at the CCRM lab.
Price
Egg freezing $10,300+; embryo freezing bundled with IVF cycle ($14,650+). Medical fertility preservation eligible for OFP funding.
Ovulation Induction
Ovulation induction with medication is offered through the Natural Conception Program, alongside cycle monitoring and timed intercourse or IUI. Dr. Carrie Schram, NCP Medical Director, has a clinical interest in ovulation induction.

Medications extra; cycle monitoring may be OHIP-covered
Egg Donation
Egg donor pathways are supported through Hannam's CCRM partnership, which provides access to the CCRM National Egg Donor Database for patients pursuing donor egg IVF.
Sperm Donation
Donor sperm is supported across IUI and IVF treatments. The clinic explicitly serves patients using donor sperm as part of family-building, including same-sex couples, single parents, and 2SLGBTQI+ patients.
Price
Donor sperm purchase, shipping, and storage costs are not covered by OFP funding
Surrogacy / Gestational Carrier
The clinic supports gestational carrier arrangements, with OFP funding allowing one additional IVF cycle for patients carrying a baby for someone else as a surrogate.
Reciprocal IVF
Reciprocal IVF for same-sex female couples — where one partner provides eggs and the other carries the pregnancy — is explicitly offered. Both partners must be approved together for OFP funding.
Price
Standard IVF pricing applies; OFP funding available for one cycle to the partner undergoing transfer
Genetic Testing (PGT)
PGT-A genetic testing screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities to improve pregnancy chances and reduce miscarriage risk. PGT is performed through CCRM Genetics Lab as part of the CCRM partnership.
Price
Not included in private IVF base price; not covered by OFP funding
Medical Fertility Preservation
Fertility preservation for patients facing medical treatments that may impact fertility (e.g., chemotherapy). Medical fertility preservation is eligible for OFP funding for one cycle.
Price
OFP-funded for medical reasons; otherwise standard egg/embryo freezing pricing applies
Pricing & Funding
Inclusivity & Accessibility
2SLGBTQI+ Welcoming
Explicit inclusive language throughout the site: 'safe, welcoming, respectful environment' for 'single, coupled, and 2SLGBTQI+ patients.' Reciprocal IVF is explicitly offered for same-sex female couples. Dr. Carrie Schram's bio specifically lists supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community in fertility and donor insemination as a clinical interest.
Single Parents by Choice
Site explicitly serves 'single' patients alongside coupled and 2SLGBTQI+ patients; the IVF page lists 'family planning for same-sex couples for reciprocal IVF or single parents' as a reason to consider IVF.
