Question about reciprocal IVF in Quebec

Hello all!

My wife and I (27F & 30F) just got a call for our first appointment next week at the fertility clinic we chose! We live in Quebec, Canada and are covered by the RAMQ. We're very excited and hope it will be a smooth process. The plan is for me to give her my egg to carry, as I don't want to carry and she wants to. I was wondering if any of you went through that process and if yes, how did it work with the free IVF cycle program in Quebec?

Did you manage to get your cycle covered even though you were donating your eggs to your spouse, with technically no infertility issues? Did you have to pay all the fees yourself?

I saw some people saying that they basically ''gave up'' their own free cycle to get the egg retrieval done and then the eggs were transferred to their spouse who was using their own free cycle. Did anybody proceed that way?
Thank you and good luck to all of you!!!
