We’ve been on hold since September and recently got a call to let us know we’ve been waiting another year or two. Marian in an interview with Radio Canada. The main stakeholder realizes that he is getting old. She cannot afford to wait many more years if she wants to start a family through assisted reproduction. Faced with this problem, the couple chose to turn to a fertility clinic in Montreal. This situation is far from ideal. Having to travel to this point every appointment really complicates things. The biggest challenge was accepting the fact that we had to go to Montreal to get a fertility clinic. The fact that we drive for two hours every time we have to do the tests, we find it a bit frustrating. We could not believe that in Sherbrooke, we could not get to such care so quickly, explains Marianne Leroux. By going to OVO’s fertility clinic, not CIUSSS de l’Estrie-CHUS, expectant mothers claim to save valuable time.

Complicated and expensive process

In addition to the delays, Catherine and Marianne have to go through several stages of assisted reproduction, which includes a visit to a psychiatrist as well as fertility tests. What disappointed us was that we had to go through the same process as infertile couples. It seems we took a few steps and went straight to the vaccination process, as Catherine Veronne believes. The first six vaccination attempts are covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec. However, pre-procedure treatments such as fertility testing come at a significant cost. We did our tests at a private clinic. We had to cash out, about $1,000. » – Quote from Marianne Lero When we say private clinic, we mean that you have to pay for the tests. As it should be paid, I have the impression that people go to these Marianne Leroux clinics less. Despite the pitfalls, the couple did not lose hope. We don’t expect much either, we’ll wait to see if I’m really pregnant before we jump for joy, we’re franticSaw Catherine Verono. “We’re not too nervous, I think we’re very happy with the process we’ve gone through and we’re looking forward to seeing what happens with it. » – Quote from Marianne Lero The CIUSSS de l’Estrie-CHUS, for its part, was not available for an interview.
