Friday Talkback: The Emotional Dimension of Infertility

More couples are seeking treatment for infertility, but do they know enough about the emotional side of what they're facing? The chances of success of IVF diminish after 35, but are people made aware of low likelihood of a baby?
Is there too much focus on the 'miracle' babies? Join our discussion tomorrow from 9.

Thanks for the heads up Kelly

I think Life Matters is a marvelous program that normally treats issues with great sensitivity and depth. I look forward to listening to the pod cast.

This was a fabulous program. It even touched on the support some women undergoing IVF get from online communities. If you are interested you can easily download the pod cast from the ABC radio Life Matters website or stream it directly (which I think is easier for dial up).

Well worth listening to for both those undergoing IVF/AC or those without sub/infertility issues.

It touched on the emotional support (including lack of) provided to couples undergoing AC, and had a range of experts plus Australian women ringing up to tell their experiences and stories in the talk back segment.

Thanks for letting us know Kelly.
