Fertility Support Group
Coping with Christmas – 11th December 2024
Are you dreading Christmas? All those family gatherings, the focus on children, the awkward questions…. you are not alone. The December Fertility Support Group will focus on sharing coping strategies and will be led by Jackie Stewart , an independent fertility counsellor.
Sharing experiences
The Bourn Hall Fertility Support Group is open to everyone on a fertility journey. It is held virtually each month and is led by our independent fertility counsellor, Jackie Stewart, and members of our Bourn Hall family.
Joining this group gives you the opportunity to talk to other people experiencing infertility, with members supporting each other on what can be an emotional journey. The aim is to create a safe and confidential space to talk freely.
To achieve this, we ask that you join the meeting with your camera on so that you’re visible to the whole group and can talk and support each other, also that you participate from a private location. Do take a couple of minutes to read the group’s helpful information and ground rules here.
Held monthly using Zoom, for approximately an hour and a half, we invite experts to speak on a range of topics that reflect the needs of individual members.
The group offers:
● Free attendance for all experiencing infertility – Bourn Hall patients and non-patients
● Guest speakers
● Facilitated meetings with Question & Answer sessions
● Caring, supportive staff
● Opportunity to meet other people who empathise
● Helpful information

Patient reviews you can trust
Genuine experiences from real patients. See why so many trust us with their fertility care.
“We went to an open evening at Bourn Hall Wickford and came away feeling really positive about the place. The staff were really friendly and the presentation was clear about the statistics regarding success rates and live birth rates; their data was very transparent. We came away feeling like we would really be looked after.”

“We chose to make an appointment at Bourn Hall Wickford because of the favourable reviews. When we got there and met the staff they were just so lovely, making us feel welcome and explaining to us what tests would need to be done and what our options were; we just thought ‘yes, let’s get the ball rolling!”
