Hey, are there any Canadian momma's out there and what's the process like? I'm about to embark on this journey and would like to know what obstacles I may incur. Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, there are three Canadian distributors: CanAm, Outreach and Repromed. The prices are fairly similar (some offer discounted storage but will charge you processing fees so it equals out) but customer service will differ. Depending on where you live, there will be shipping charged and mine were quite significant (I live in Yellowknife). I personally opted for Outreach, their customer service has been amazing so far.
The process is simple in terms of ordering, but I have not yet started the IUI process itself. I will have the vials shipped out about a week before insemination.
Let us know if you have more questions (not that I'm a pro or anything!!)
So cool!
Are you doing it through a clinic? where are you located?
whats ur plan? is it your first time? it is for me and im so worried about now timing it right!!
I'm in Yellowknife so I'm doing it at the general clinic with a general practicioner (no fertility clinics here). SO no monitoring, no Ultrasounds or blood work, nothing. SO it's sort of up in the air as to what exactly I'm doing.
Good luck!
I just wanted to join this thread. I'm looking at a donor from Fairfax, through Repromed. Anyone use any Canadian donors?? I know the list is short, but I do feel that the cost savings are significant and knowing that the donation was made without monetary gain "feels" better. But I'm undecided...
I'm turning 40 this June, no fertility issues and planning on seeing how I do with 3 vials, but don't see myself trying past 6, for financial reasons. I don't know what the stats are like either.
Good luck to everyone!
So yes I got my first two vials (donor 4723) and got the IUIs done over the weekend. Im hoping i timed it right and just crossing my fingers that I ovulated when I was "supposed" to. I live in Yellowknife (hence my avatar!) and there are no fertility clinics here. SO im pretty much on my own. Luckily, a doc was able to do the IUI, but no u/s or b/w. just fingers crossed.
I've ordered 6 vials in total. gonna do two vials every month for three months. I'm 38. After this, I think our adventure will be over. We'll see how it goes.
Keep us posted guys! this is great! Yay Canada! lol
I'm 15DPIUI. First Beta 41 was on Friday. Second Beta was 30 min ago. Will get the results by today...
fingers crossed for everyone!
Good luck! that was one of the most stressful parts (actually, there were many stressful parts!)
My Second beta was 325, i go AGAIN Thursday.
5 days isn't so bad! You can do it!!! (I shouldnt talk, i POAS at 11dPO - i could not wait!)
How are you feeling?
Kbaby, im sure you'll make the right choice. At the end of the day, the goal is a happy and healthy baby.
FIngers crossed
