Women will be told to spend a few years in the bedroom before heading through the doors of a fertility clinic, under new regulation as part of Bill 20.
Under new in-vitro fertizilation laws, women who want to become mothers and who are concerned about being infertile would need to use the old tried-and-true method of sex without contraception for a fixed period of up to three years.
After that, they may they seek out a fertility clinic to obtain in-vitro fertilization.
According to information obtained by The Canadian Press on Wednesday, Health Minister Gaétan Barrette is set impose this test period on women. It will vary between one and three years, depending on their age.
Younger women will have more time to let nature take its course, according to the legislation.
Women will be taken at their word, because it would be impossible to verify whether they are being truthful about adhering to the prescribed time before receiving IVF treatment.
There is currently no set time after which women may access in-vitro fertilization treatments.
The legislation would not apply to gay couples.
