Fertility Alberta Advocacy & Outreach Association conducted a patient survey from September 11 to 24, 2023. We heard from 640 Albertans who wanted to have their voices heard regarding fertility care in our province.

The survey found that most Albertans who need medical assistance to have a family are struggling to access the help they need.

Highlights include:

• 74% of people who did not proceed with needed fertility treatments identified cost as the reason
• 60% of those who did undergo treatment spent $10,000 to $50,000
• Nearly 50% of patients that proceeded with treatments required a loan to cover the cost
