Hello,
i'm new to the ivf world and website.
i live in montreal and i am presently at the Montreal Reproductive Center.
I also have an appointment soon at the McGill Reproductive Center.
So far i had the initial consultation, baseline echo and blood tes and my husband the blood tests and spermogramme.
We have a chromosomal problem and therefore wish to avoid further miscarriages and passing on the unbalanced version of our translocation which leads to severe congenital problems and serious deseases. (describing it in a simple way)
as a couple with a genetics issue , we are covered by the RAMQ, (regime assurance medicaments quebec),for 3 cycles of IVF treatments.......
what i found surprising is that i was quoted to have to dish out also out of pocket about 8000.00$$
since in order to analyse the translocation and all chromosomes to avoid any trisomy and any other chromosomes problems,the Clinic has to order probes, he recommended the array CGH probe......
i was wondering if anyone knows about costs of probes?
if anyone ever did pre implantation genetics?
and overall advise about this clinic?
thanks so much in advance,
Shaval.
