Semen deposits required
We wanted to go to Canada for fresh semen deposits
Initially, we planned to travel to Canada to do fresh sperm/semen deposits at our IVF clinic – CReATe Fertility Centre. We have spoken about this for a very long time that that was what we wanted to do.
Recently, we were advised by Hilary (from CReATe) that if we want the eggs (retrieved from the egg donor) to be fertilised fresh, we have to be there when the eggs are retrieved. Considering the egg donor takes a week or two for her medication (to stimulate more eggs growth), we can only be given notice when she starts taking the medication. It was a timeline that we couldn’t work with. To fly to Toronto at such last minute notice is not possible especially when we have all the work that we have going on, plus we will be heading to Singapore in July/August 2017. It is almost a full day of flying! We couldn’t see ourselves dropping everything to fly over for it. So we enquired to see what other ways we can go with. Hilary said we can deposit in Australia and have them frozen and shipped. So we are taking that option.
