Personalized Integrative Fertility Support

Realistic, evidence-based care to help you get pregnant—naturally or alongside IVF

How We Support Infertility at The Clara Clinic

Chances are if you’re here, you’ve been trying to conceive unsuccessfully for some time. If trying to get pregnant is ruling your life, you spend way too much time at your fertility clinic, you don’t understand why you’re not getting pregnant, or you keep cancelling plans because another one of your friends just had a baby while you’re still struggling, you’re in the right place. Our team is here to help you take the guesswork out of optimizing your fertility, and provide you with a customized and realistic treatment plan to help you move forward.

While many treatments focus on surface-level causes of infertility, our approach combines thorough assessments, lab testing, lifestyle guidance, advocacy, and consistent follow-up and monitoring. This integrated method ensures you feel supported at each stage of the journey. By looking deeper at your fertility, we can craft a personalized plan to help optimize your chances of success. Read on to learn about our 5-step Fertility Foundations Program and how we support you every step of the way.

What Is Infertility Anyway?

Infertility is the inability to successfully conceive after one full year of unprotected sex . In Canada, infertility impacts 1 in 6 couples. For those experiencing infertility, approximately one third is due to female factors, one third is due to male factors, and one third is a combination of both. In approximately 10% of cases, infertility is unexplained with no identifiable causes. Infertility impacts men and women equally, making it important to look at both partners when trying to get pregnant. Receiving a diagnosis of infertility and going through fertility treatments can be incredibly isolating, demoralizing, and challenging to navigate on your own.

Common Causes of Infertility We Treat

• Advanced age or ‘early menopause’ - known as Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

• Poor egg quality or poor ovarian reserve

• PCOS

• Endometriosis

• Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism

• Hormonal Imbalances

• Hypothalamic Amenorrhea

• Hyperprolactinemia 

• Toxin exposures

• Immune dysfunction including autoimmunity

• Implantation failure or Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Fertility Foundations: Our 5 Step Program

It’s time to optimize your fertility and reclaim your sense of self! This is exactly why we created the Fertility Foundations Program. This 5-step program will help you take the guesswork out of getting pregnant, so you can move forward with your future.

our 5-step program

1. Identify Barriers  - We complete extremely comprehensive intakes and lab testing to understand your general health status, your immune status, your reproductive hormone status, your nutrient status, and identify where things are going wrong. We also send you home to complete symptom monitoring and cycle tracking so we can start to pick up on your unique patterns.

2. Support Foundations – This is where your treatment begins. We ensure the foundations of reproductive health are in place so we’re optimizing your chances as quickly as possible. This includes correcting things like ovulatory function, egg quality, immune function, digestive function, food sensitivities, and environmental exposures. Often just supporting these and putting them into place can make a world of difference! We teach you how to implement foundational supports in a balanced way so you never feel restricted.

3. Customized + Targeted Supplementation – Once we receive all of your lab results and symptom diary we start targeting treatment specifically to you. This often takes the form of highly concentrated supplementation and is completely based on your unique physiology and barriers. In some cases of infertility, bioidentical hormones are also recommended.

4. Ongoing Coaching, Monitoring + Support – Once we’ve developed your personalized fertility plan, we don’t just hand it off and hope for the best. We walk alongside you, closely monitoring your progress and adjusting as needed to support your goals. Through regular coaching, we help you implement each step of your plan in a sustainable, realistic way—because consistency matters when it comes to fertility outcomes. We also conduct ongoing lab work and reassess your fertility markers regularly, so you always have a clear picture of how your body is responding. While we can’t guarantee results, we’re committed to being with you every step of the way.

5. Pregnancy Visits – Once you get pregnant, we create a new plan for you to carry forward throughout your first trimester to ensure you successfully carry to term. We meet once per trimester to ensure you are feeling your best and ready for this next chapter!
