<\/span><\/h2>\nWe know that when you experience secondary infertility, it can be a lonely, stressful and emotionally and physically draining. It helps enormously if you can confide in family and friends. As well as pre-empting those well-meant but thoughtless comments, having friends who know what you are going through really can lighten the burden. Seeking professional help in the form of counselling when you need it is also extremely important. At IVI, the psychological well-being of our patients is paramount to us. We offer an in-house counselling service to all patients that can help you through this difficult time. As part of our ongoing patient care, counselling is routinely offered at any time before, during or after treatment. Even if you feel fine, you may find it useful to talk to somebody impartial about your situation.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019d like to speak to one of our consultants about any problems you are experiencing or any other aspect of the services we offer, do get in touch. You can call us on 0800 52 00 161 from anywhere in the UK, or fill in your details using our online contact form<\/a> and we\u2019ll call you back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many of the preconceived ideas about infertility focus on images of couples without children.
