\u201cPatients are sometimes nervous about seeing a specialist because they don\u2019t know what to expect, or they are fearful of receiving bad news,\u201d says Paul Verrastro, the center\u2019s chief operating officer. \u201cSometimes they are anxious about discussing the details of this very personal aspect of their lives with a physician. Knowing what to expect at a consultation may offer reassurance and help alleviate some of these concerns. We strive to make this a comfortable, stress-free process for all of our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr. John Nulsen<\/a>, director and lead physician, presents the first installment, \u201cFertility Facts,\u201d Friday, March 16<\/strong>, at 4 p.m. The webinars will consist of a roughly 45-minute presentation followed by 15 minutes for questions, all in real time. They will be produced by the Health Center\u2019s Video Communications Department and will be archived at www.uconnfertility.com<\/a>. Those who watch archived programs can submit questions to be answered within 48 hours.<\/p>\n Other topics scheduled this year include in vitro fertilization, egg freezing, and stress and fertility. Each webinar requires advanced registration<\/a>. Additional information also is available by calling 860-679-4850.<\/p>\n The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services, which also offers free IVF seminars<\/a> an average of two nights a month, recently revamped its website<\/a> to support the webinars.<\/p>\n Follow\u00a0the UConn Health Center<\/a> on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a> and\u00a0YouTube<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services at the UConn Health Center is launching a free series of live webinars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":111,"featured_media":56429,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[179,1],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[57,2010],"class_list":["post-56419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uconn-health","category-uncategorized"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-03 08:06:52","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/111"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56419"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88502,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56419\/revisions\/88502"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/56429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56419"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=56419"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=56419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Dr.](\"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/nulsen_origA-240x300.jpg\")
