Toronto ovulation induction clinics
Letrozole or Clomid — the first-line treatment for many fertility patients.
Ovulation induction with letrozole (preferred over Clomid in current practice) is the first-line treatment for many fertility patients — particularly PCOS, mild infertility, and unexplained infertility patients. It's also one of the most under-prescribed treatments in Toronto because IVF clinics make more revenue per cycle on IVF than on ovulation induction. The clinics with strong stepwise treatment philosophies will start most appropriate patients on three to six cycles of ovulation induction before moving to IVF.
Inclusion: clinic offers ovulation induction with letrozole or Clomid. Last verified May 2026.

How to pick a Toronto ovulation induction clinic
Stepwise treatment philosophy is the headline factor. A clinic that runs three to six cycles of letrozole-stimulated IUI before pushing IVF is practicing better medicine for appropriate patients.
Monitoring intensity matters. Letrozole cycles can be monitored with follicle ultrasounds or run looser with bloodwork only. More monitoring increases cost but improves timing precision.
Some clinics charge significantly more for medicated cycles than natural; others bundle. Get an itemized estimate.

- What's the cost per cycle including monitoring?
- How is the cycle monitored — ultrasound, bloodwork, or both?
- Do you combine with IUI or recommend timed intercourse?
Frequently asked questions
What is ovulation induction?
+
Medication (most commonly letrozole, sometimes Clomid) to stimulate ovulation in patients who don't ovulate regularly or to optimize timing in patients with regular cycles. First-line for PCOS and mild/unexplained infertility, particularly under 35.
How much does ovulation induction cost in Toronto?
+
$200–$500 per cycle for monitoring plus $50–$200 medication. Combined with IUI: $600–$1,300 per cycle. Not covered by OHIP or OFP.
Letrozole vs Clomid?
+
Current evidence favours letrozole for most patients, particularly PCOS — better ovulation rates and lower multiple-pregnancy risk. Most modern Toronto clinics default to letrozole.
How many cycles before IVF?
+
Three to six cycles is standard for appropriate patients under 35. Over 38, the threshold drops.
