Hi all had my appointment through for the IVF counselling.

Just wondering what to expect?

How long after did you start treatment?

Hi @thefishthatcouldwish
The session went really well and was more of an information session really. She was a trained psychotherapist but she said herself that calling it counselling is a bit misleading.
She basically went through the implications of using a donor like how the contact works when they turn 18 etc.
There wasn't much chat about feelings etc more an informative Q&A.
Now that we've had the session the search is really on for a donor we're really struggling!
Hope your session goes well!

Thanks for the information. That’s a load off my mind.
