Counseling is very much important for you and your partner in order to conceive with the help of donors. As you are already suffering from anxiety, stress, and discomfort of infertility and then you need to mentally prepare yourself for having a baby through a donor. Counseling can help you in many ways to accept the child and your own biological child. It can help you to deal with the social norms that you will have to face after having a baby through a sperm donor. So, counseling is very much essential to handle all the mental, emotional, social and financial stress while having an IVF through the donor program.
