Well, to get it for free under the public plan, my doctor needs to sign off on it, and she's reluctant because she's an intern and doesn't want to skip steps (she goes by-the-book on everything). Also, IVF or fertility treatments are both pretty stressful, both mentally and physically, and she doesn't want to put her patients through that if she can avoid it. But I'm going to be 37 in August, and time is ticking!

I have no clue how much IVF costs here, I haven't looked it up yet. But it's not something we can afford this year anyway, between moving, needing to buy new furniture because ours is dilapidated, and having to attend two weddings out of town (which means travel and accommodation expenses)... Wow, just looked it up, between $7,750 and $12,250 CAD... which includes everything, from semen testing to the actual IVF, but OUCH!
