Fertility counselling FAQs
When should I start fertility counselling?
You can start before treatment, during IVF or after an outcome. Counselling can be helpful at any stage, especially when decisions feel overwhelming or the emotional strain is affecting you or your relationship.
Can partners attend fertility counselling together?
Yes. Fertility treatment can affect partners differently, and counselling can help you understand each other’s responses, communicate more clearly and make difficult decisions together.
Is fertility counselling only for IVF?
No. Support can include IVF, donor conception, pregnancy loss, unsuccessful cycles, uncertainty about treatment, and the wider emotional impact of fertility difficulties.
