How will you benefit from this workshop entitled “When and How to Seek a Fertility Specialist”?
Workshop education with Q&A driven by participants’ real world situations combined with personal and focused coaching from a seasoned fertility nurse is a very effective method of teaching, inspiring and empowering. The dynamic created by workshop coaching will have a big impact on you.
| Here’s just a few ways you can benefit from this coaching workshop: |
- Learn about the different types of specialists and understand which ones are right for your situation.
Many physicians “specialize” in infertility, but that does not guarantee that they are up on the latest technology. It may only mean that they have attended specialty seminars on infertility.
|
- Understand the questions you should ask a prospective physician or clinic.
Knowing what questions to ask is one thing; knowing how the answers should impact you is another. Learn how to interview a specialist beforehand. And equally as important, know what to look for in the answers. Learn the import and implications behind the questions you ask.
|
- Understand the importance of quality and ethics in your decision.
Nobody is interested in becoming the next reproductive headline. Get comfortable with a clinic before you choose. Learn how to check that the clinic has good quality control and strong ethics.
|
- Locate the clinic that is right for you.
Typically insurance does not pay for fertility treatments so it is important that you choose the right specialist and a quality clinic. You will live the results of these choices for your entire life.
|
- Learn your limits. Limit frustration. Save money.
Once you’re on the reproductive track, it can be hard to get off. Before you talk with a specialist know something about the invasive tests and procedures that lie ahead. Learn the importance of giving consideration ahead of time to how far you are willing to take the process. It’s an emotional time ahead; learning your limits now will keep you from being talked into something you don’t want or can’t afford.
