10-week mind/body program

Our program is highly effective in reducing the physical symptoms of stress including insomnia, fatigue, headache, and gastrointestinal distress. It has also been shown to minimize the feelings of depression, anxiety and irritability that can accompany infertility and treatment. Research shows that women taking part in a mind/body program in addition to fertility treatment are more likely to conceive than women who opt for fertility treatment alone.

As a participant, you will meet once a week for two and a half hours. Each session combines group support, skills training and symptom monitoring. You will learn how to:

• Elicit relaxation at any time through meditation, mindfulness and visioning
• Alter lifestyle habits to improve your overall health and well-being
• Free yourself from negative thought patterns using cognitive restructuring techniques
• Support yourself and others in the process of transformation and healing

What Is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing is a breakthrough technology that allows women to freeze and store their eggs until a pregnancy is desired. At that time, the eggs are thawed, fertilized and transferred to the uterus as embryos.

Who May Benefit

Many women today are postponing childbearing because they are focused on a career, are returning to school, or because they simply haven’t met the right person. For these women, egg freezing is revolutionary, not just in its technology, but in the life choices it allows them to make.

Over 50,000 reproductive-aged women are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments typically lead to infertility by destroying the eggs. While options vary depending on age, type of cancer and cancer-treatment plan, egg freezing can provide these women the opportunity to preserve their fertility.

And finally, egg freezing can be useful for individuals with religious or moral objections to storing frozen embryos that remain following a routine IVF cycle.

Q. How long should I wait before I see a fertility specialist?

A. Generally speaking, a fertile couple has a 20% chance of pregnancy per month. This means that about 90% of women will have conceived after trying for one year. If you are under thirty years of age and find yourself in the remaining 10%, you should consult a fertility specialist. Women over the age of thirty should seek medical advice if they have not conceived after six months of trying. It is recommended that women over the age of forty consult a fertility specialist at the time they decide they would like to conceive.
