For those who prefer meeting and talking with others who want to share their thoughts and experiences, our group sessions include:
Stress Management Forum
This forum is open to men, women and couples involved in any aspect of infertility treatment. The group focuses on managing stress, utilizing relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, humor and other constructive tools. The group meets once a month, for one and one-half (1 1/2) hour sessions.
Mind-Body Stress Management Forum
For women, this group focuses on managing stress with relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, humor and other constructive tools. Participation requires one individual meeting prior to eight, two-hour sessions.
Egg Donation Forum
The forum gives men and women the opportunity to discuss concerns and exchange information with others who have personal experience with egg donation, as well as those considering it for the first time. The group meets once a month for two hours, to discuss such topics as donor selection, disclosure, legal and family implications.
Special Interest Groups
Special groups for men and women are scheduled throughout the year. These sessions focus on particular areas of interest, allowing participants to discuss concerns, ask questions, seek and/or provide support on subjects such as male factor infertility, single parenting, pre-mature ovarian failure, sperm donation and stress management throughout the treatment process, including the early stages of pregnancy.
Parents’ Group
We offer this group, which meets three times a year, to parents who have children through our program. Patients find it helpful to keep in touch with other IVF parents as their child grows.
Patient Library
Our patient resource library is located to the left of the reception desk on the 5th floor of our office suite. It contains extensive, free information on infertility and reproductive health, as well as on outside resources for education, support and advocacy.
