## What this page said

The page said infertility can affect every part of life, from relationships and work to self-esteem and spirituality, and that the institute had helped thousands of people with it since the late 1980s. It offered a multi-week program to help women cope while, it said, enhancing their chance of conception, a two-day weekend retreat for people who could not attend weekly, individual and couples therapy, and a version customised for women undergoing alternative insemination and their partners.

A billing page said the weekly program met on Monday evenings and required that participants had seen a physician or specialist for infertility treatment in the previous six months, with referrals handled with the doctor's office. The conception claim is the institute's own and should be read with current evidence.

## Key points from the original

- Weekly program, weekend retreat and individual therapy options.
- A customised version served women using alternative insemination.
- Participants needed recent infertility care from a physician.
