Patients in midwifery consultation group were consulted and guided in three fields and six sessions, consultation and advice for patients was from 8 weeks before embryo transfer until the transfer day. The level of the knowledge and attitude of consulting group after consultation sessions has increased dramatically and significant (p<0.001). But in control group no significance is seen. From the finding of these studies it can be concluded that consultation by the people who have hands on professional infertility treatments and also know consultation techniques and support of infertile people can improve these people's knowledge and their change of attitude.
