2. What if I miss one week of the program?
If you are unable to make a session, we will give you written materials that cover the missed session and, after you have read them, we will spend some time with you on the phone explaining the information missed.

3. Can I participate in the Mind/Body Program while I am going through medical treatment?
Yes. In fact, the Mind/Body Program can maximize the effectiveness of medical treatment.

4. What if I am not pursuing any medical treatment at this time?
You may participate in the program while taking a break from medical treatment. Also, our program is well-suited for participants who have chosen to take a more "natural" approach to resolving their infertility issues.

5. What is the age range of the women in the group?
All ages are welcome.

6. How large are the groups?
The average group is between 10-14 participants.

7. How many sessions do husbands/partners attend?
They will attend 3 out of 10 sessions.

8. What if my husband/partner cannot participate in the program?
You are encouraged to participate. Partner participation is helpful but not required.

9. I already do yoga on a weekly basis, how will this program be helpful to me?
Yoga is only one component of the Mind/Body Program. We teach many different methods of relaxation so you can find the techniques that are most compatible with you and your lifestyle.

10. I have tried yoga and I do not like it. Is this an appropriate group for me?
Definitely! (See answer to #9)

11. What if I get pregnant during the group?
Many women conceive during the course of our 10-week program. If you become pregnant, we recommend that you remain in the group as most women become very anxious about miscarrying. Pregnant women can benefit considerably from the techniques and the support offered by the Mind/Body program.

12. Does insurance pay for this program?
Yes. Many insurance companies will offer partial reimbursement for this program. We encourage you to talk with your insurance company representative and read your benefits handbook.

13. If I have insurance coverage will the Mind/Body Fertility Center bill my insurance?
No, we do not do direct billing. We will give you a statement for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. You are responsible for all payments to the M/BFC.

14. How do I sign-up for the group?
Everyone must go through an intake interview prior to acceptance to the group. The intake interview is a one-on-one meeting with the group leader and an opportunity for the leader to get to know you and your history and to answer any of your questions. At the time of the intake you will pay a non-refundable $200 deposit which goes towards the cost of the group. This deposit guarantees you a spot in the group.

15. Where are the sessions held?
Sessions are held in a conference room at a north suburban hotel that is easily accessible from the major highways.

16. Do you offer the Mind/Body program in any other locations?
No, not at this time. We will be offering the program in other Chicagoland areas in the near future.
