It’s totally normal to have lots of questions before and during fertility treatment. To make things easier, we’ve put together an FAQ page on our website with answers to common questions about appointments, referrals, tests, and more. If you’re already receiving treatment with us, you’ll also find many more FAQs specific to treatment through the patient portal under the FAQ tab.

And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, just reach out. We’re always here to help. 🤝

Along with Pride Month, June is also CMV Awareness Month!

Informed care starts long before birth. CMV is one of those topics that often goes unnoticed. But early awareness and testing can make all the difference.

A closer look at one of the most important steps in genetic testing. 🔬

In this video, our embryology team is performing an embryo biopsy—a highly specialized procedure where a small number of cells are carefully removed from the embryo's outer layer. These cells are then sent to Juno Genetics for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).

The biopsy is performed with precision and care, allowing us to gather important genetic information while preserving the embryo's potential for development.

Meet Dr. Paula Rittenberg!

Dr. Rittenberg is Royal College certified in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Gynecologic Oncology, and Palliative Medicine. She has been part of the Atlantic Fertility team since 2019 and her only gynecologic focus at this time is fertility care.

Dr. Rittenberg has a special interest in the management of PMOS and is dedicated to supporting patients through their fertility journey.

Outside of Atlantic Fertility, she also works with Hospice Halifax, continuing her commitment to compassionate care.

When she’s not working, you can find her enjoying walks and hikes, reading, watching movies and miniseries, or cheering from the sidelines at a baseball field or hockey rink. ⚾🏒

We're so lucky to have you on our team, Dr. Rittenberg!

Last week, our fellow Dr. Stepnuk presented at Department of Urology Research Day on the impact of gender-affirming hormone therapy on fertility preservation outcomes in transgender and non-binary individuals. Thank you to Dr. Jesse Ory for supervising this study!

With limited research currently available in this area, studies like this are essential to helping improve access to informed, inclusive, and evidence-based fertility care. This work is especially meaningful here in Nova Scotia, which has the highest proportion of transgender and non-binary individuals in Canada.

We are so proud to support research that helps build a more inclusive future in reproductive medicine. 🙌
