Having difficulty conceiving a baby and going through infertility treatment can have a tremendous impact on so many areas of your life. Now, there is a place where your experience and feelings will be heard and honoured. The infertility support group is a place where you can talk about these things in a supportive environment with others who are able to support you and share their similar experiences with you. For more information, download the Infertility Support Group pamphlet.

All are welcome to attend, regardless of clinic affiliation. This group is provided as a community service to those experiencing difficulties conceiving a child and those who are supporting them in this process. For further information contact Lois at BabyWish; 519-200-9592 or babywish@rogers.ca.
