Things to know:
*The women come to all classes; partners are requested to attend classes 1, 4, 7, and 9.
*The woman typically comes to the screening intake alone but the couple is welcome.
*If you become pregnant before class, your costs are refunded if you give 48 hours notice.
*Participants who become pregnant during the program, continue in class.
Pregnancy after infertility is stressful.
*Class size is limited to 16 couples for quality program.
*I realize these costs add up. However, Mind/Body Program costs are a tiny fraction of
infertility treatment costs and have been shown to make significant differences.
The coping skills you learn in the Program can be used in all areas of life and hopefully
will be helpful to you the rest of your lives. The group support is priceless and some
wonderful friendships have come from the groups. The groups typically continue to
meet on their own after the ten week class.
