Counselling

Specific treatment options will be discussed on an individual basis. Further counselling sessions are available to all couples at all stages of treatment. Counsellors are available and their services can be utilized for various reasons like if you have difficulty making a decision about treatment, have an unsuccessful treatment, are concerned about the impact of treatment on your relationship or simply want to talk over what you are experiencing. Counselling provides the opportunity to discuss your infertility treatment on a more personal level. It allows patients to raise issues that are more private, such as individual concerns, relationship difficulties, problems in adjusting to infertility, or current life situations that may affect the couple’s experience of treatment. For certain treatments, however, such as those involving donor embryos or gametes, pre-treatment counselling is compulsory.

One should also focus on the patient’s psychosocial and emotional needs by

• Understanding Childlessness
• Giving information and ensuring it is processed
• Implications Counselling
• Support Counselling
• Therapeutic Counselling

Healthy Mind Body programme

Traditional medicine has focused on the IVF process with regard to improving outcomes by improvements in ovarian stimulation protocols, techniques of egg retrieval or embryo transfer and improving embryo culture systems. We believe that including holistic and traditional treatments and approaches to this procedure greatly improves the likelihood of a successful outcome:

• Psychological well being
• Reduced Stress levels
• Nutrition, exercise and physical well being

A large part of “complimentary treatment” in IVF, centers around stress reduction or improving a couples’ ability to understand and cope with the stresses associated with infertility.

We at Omega Fertility & Test Tube baby Centre have taken this approach a step further than many other IVF units, by identifying the need for this type of programme and carrying out the treatment during a “low stress / relaxed time” in a holiday environment.
