Renewed calls for equal access to fertility care, improved benefits for all Canadians

Support is essential, Getz pointed out, for those experiencing infertility because, while the struggle is common, it can also feel “isolating and lonely.” “If you know somebody that is going through something like this, people tend to think that they’re walking on eggshells, like, ‘I don’t want to message them’, ‘I don’t want to check in with them because I don’t want to upset them,’ acknowledging that they are going through this is the best way to find support,” she added.Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is an annual day of remembrance observed on Oct. 15 to commemorate pregnancy loss, miscarriage and newborn death.
Despite this, there exist disparities in access to fertility care across the country which create an additional barrier for many individuals. “Many people would be happier at work if they knew that their reproductive care could be covered partially by their employers and we know that many, many companies are looking at this as a benefit. But there’s no question that when we meet patients at the beginning of their journey, certainly midway and near the end of their journey, the financial exhaustion is as much there, unfortunately, as the medical exhaustion and the emotional exhaustion,” he said.
