You can obtain a referral from any community physician, such as a family doctor or gynecologist. If you do not have a family doctor you can use a walk-in clinic or access virtual care e.g. Babylon or Access Virtual.
Referral after a baby: Once you have had a baby and want to come back again, you will need a new referral. Even if you have embryos here, you still require a new referral.
