infertility, specifically in vitro fertilization (IVF), on

The free programs are led by reproductive endocrinology experts:
Claudio Benadiva, M.D., John Nulsen, M.D., and Donald Maier, M.D. The
physicians present an informational session, typically once or twice
each month, for couples who are interested in learning more about IVF.

process and discuss some of the emotional issues surrounding IVF.
Options for financial planning are also discussed.

techniques to help patients achieve successful pregnancies. UConn was

southern Connecticut.
