Support Group: Moving Forward-Transitions in Fertility Treatment

Sunday, December 14th
10:00am - 12:00pm

Transitions are often difficult. When they are unwanted they are more difficult. When they are unwanted and involve our fertility they are particularly difficult. How do we make the decision when to move on to IVF, donor egg, adoption or stopping treatment? How do we balance what is best for us with medical advice? These questions will be explored in a confidential and supportive forum at our White Plains office.
