Читать книгу Need to Know Fertility, Conception and Pregnancy - Harriet Sharkey - Страница 148

Fertility treatment can be very stressful for both of you and it can be a time-consuming and emotional process that seems to take over your every waking thought. A clinic far from your home or workplace can add to the stress. Treatment involves frequent clinic attendances for the various procedures and by their very nature, they are not always carried out at the most convenient times. So travelling a long way to a clinic can add to the strain and make fertility treatment even more difficult to cope with.

To try to ease this, some clinics have so-called satellite units, based in local hospitals or clinics, which can carry out some of the tests or treatments without the need for you to visit the main centre for all components of your treatment.
