No Barriers to IVF
Seeking fertility treatment and information is a daunting experience, and sometimes this can be made more difficult by clinics setting specific parameters around who they will and won’t see. Many of our patients have been turned away from other clinics because of their age, weight, sexuality, BMI, relationships status or complexity of their case. At Demeter Fertility, we have no barriers to IVF.
Often this can be due to clinics paying close attention to their recorded ‘success’ rates and trying to reduce unsuccessful outcomes related to patient bases with a lower foundational chance of pregnancy. Many clinics report and advertise their success rates via the Australian government website yourivfsuccess.com.au, while this is a useful tool for many clinics and prospective patients, at small clinics with no barriers to treatment access, success rates can be very skewed above or below the ‘average’.
We’re not like that. We don’t believe in barriers to accessing treatment, guidance or information. In fact, we love helping “the hard cases” experience the joy of parenthood. Our commitment to innovation, tailored patient treatments and holistic and natural fertility care, works hand in hand with treating patients who need a little more science, a little more support and a little more time and effort to complete their journey.
At Demeter Fertility, we welcome patients from all sorts of backgrounds with all sorts of challenges. We have no cut-offs, preferences or barriers to access treatment with us.
This includes;
- No BMI or weight limits
- No Age limits or cut-offs
- Single-women
- Same-sex couples
- Donor programs
- Any fertility diagnosis or challenge
BMI & Weight
There are countless reasons we may struggle with weight gain or management, but this should not mean you don’t have the same access to treatment or help navigating your fertility journey. The doctors at Demeter can help you work through weight management, dietary changes or options, and fertility treatment protocols around this. We have no set BMI or weight you must meet before undergoing treatment.
Age (and over 40s)
The Demeter Fertility Over 40s Program is a proactive and evidence-based holistic approach to healthy fertility and IVF, aimed at maximising your chances of having a baby later in life. For women trying to get pregnant after 40, Demeter Fertility doctors’ opinion is that this is urgent, time-sensitive and an individualised treatment approach is appropriate.
We will approach each case on an individual basis and will never push you to use or consider donor eggs before you are ready. We believe there are options to consider for your own fertility and health first.
Single-women
Some women choose to pursue treatment by themselves and others end up on this journey by matter of circumstance. Regardless of how you find yourself here, we are accepting, accommodating and welcome to all patients who want or need to undergo fertility treatment.
Same-Sex Couples
Same-sex couples make up a significant portion of our patient base, due in part to the range of donor sperm options we have available but also due to how simple we make the reciprocal IVF process if you wish to pursue this.
