Picking the Right Infertility Class for You

Infertility can devastate a couple. If you and your partner are experiencing this circumstance, you don't have to go through it alone. You can choose to enroll in an infertility class or seminar. Here you can learn about the causes of infertility, how to cope with the pain and sadness that you will inevitably feel, how to improve your relationship despite these circumstances, and other options at your disposal, such as adoption. However, you may wonder how to find the class that best fits your needs. Here are five suggestions.


  • Location – Naturally, the proximity to a class to your home matters. Some people may not have qualms about venturing out of the town or sometimes even out-of-state for these classes. Others want something local. Perform research online to figure out your options and what classes are closest to you.

  • Cost – Some classes and seminars may cost money. This price tag would vary depending on the organization offering the classes, the duration of the classes, and what you will learn. Other classes are run by nonprofits which typically don't charge. If you do decide to take an infertility class that costs money, decide if it's within your budget to do so.

  • Support – While you will learn plenty in these classes, you will also want support in this difficult time. Therefore, you should look for a class that blends the two, providing information and assistance to navigate through these tough times.

  • Readiness – Sometimes after discovering that you're infertile, you aren't ready to consider your other options quite yet. You may feel too hurt or distressed to enroll in a class. You don't have to feel ashamed about that. If you do decide to take a class, do so only when you're ready.

  • Status – As mentioned, different organizations will teach these classes and seminars. In some cases, it may be a nonprofit, while in others, it could be a fertility clinic. If status matters to you, then you will want to choose an institution that best fits your needs during this time.
