Irene Nicoll, Gina Lockwood, Raymond J. Chan, Paul Grundy, Margaret I. Fitch

Abstract


“I struggle with depression and anxiety now. After my surgery, my husband and I decided we wanted to try and have a baby, but our only option was IVF. It has caused huge financial challenges and stress on our relationship. I believe I will live with this stress for the rest of my life and wasn’t given any guidance or help  if there were other areas or programs we could reach out for help.” AB1100428
