Preparing for Treatment

Preparing for fertility treatment can involve many emotional and practical issues, including adjusting to the thought that conceiving a baby is probably not going to be a very romantic occasion for the woman and her partner, as well as how much the treatment will cost and how it will be paid for.

To help prepare for treatment, this section offers advice on:

• NHS funded treatment
• lifestyle and fertility
• an initial consultation at MFS
• MFS booklets and leaflets
• glossary of terms
• frequently asked questions (FAQs)
