Advice and treatment at Fertility Center Berlin
Our concept of fertility treatment
At the FCB you not only have the possibility to utilise all available modern forms of reproductive medicine. You also have here the option to discuss your desire to have children thoroughly, as well as its influence on your future life.
We know that unfulfilled desires to have children can present a heavy load on a relationship. The feeling of not being fertile is in many cases received as very grievous, and can be followed by self-doubt and doubts about the relationship altogether.
In order to receive additional psychological assistance, i. e. during a particular stage of your fertility treatment, or during pauses in the treatment, we will gladly make our psychologists available to you. These consultations can be paid for by the health insurance.
