2) Great Expectations and first consultations.

What to expect in that first fertility consultation and how to make your choice of hospital for IVF Treatment. Working through the pricing, your budget and choices, it's not easy! Most importantly how you and your partner are going to get through this together. Oh and why no one was interested in my super-fertile 75 year old grandfather when the Doctor took my medical history.

  • Your role as a partner in the consultation.
  • Some practical tips on how to get the best out of the IVF consultation
  • First introduction to Dr Alison Taylor who saw us successfully through our fertility treatment over the next four years
