Anyone know what an information session entails?

Hello everyone I have just read on my last letter that the next communication we get will be when we are called up for an information session? Does anyone know what this is for and what happens and what should be expect from them?

Thanks

We recently had ours and were in a group with around 15 other couples. Basically, one of the fertility nurses just talked through the whole ivf procedure in detail and gave the opportunity for us to ask questions. We were given all the consent forms to read through ready for our appointment where we signed them all. And had to fill in the dates of our next 2 periods and also any dates we wouldn't be available for appointments. I think it lasted around an hour. We all then had to go for a blood test which tests for HIV etc but not sure if that bit will be the same for you xx

Have you had any appointment since the session. We have a group session coming up too x

Yes we had our consent signing session just over a week after and were given the treatment schedule. Had our meds delivered last week so now just waiting to start at the end of the month xx

I would love to know when we will start our treatment hopefully find out next week. Surely they send the letter out a month before they want you to attend the session? My husband has one last sperm analysis to do next week I think. Looking forward to starting IVF in a way but at the same time very nervous about the risks and it not working I always hear the bad stories and not the good would be nice to hear good outcomes of IVF

When we had a call to make the appointment for the group session they also scheduled our consent signing session which was just over a week after. We were told that everyone in the room would be starting within 3 months so hopefully you won't have much longer to wait.

I feel exactly the same. I'm looking forward to finally starting but anxiety is definitely starting to kick in. I've decided to start having acupuncture which I start on Monday so I'm hoping that will help calm me a bit xx
