Process

Sarah Flynn who you will be speaking to through LiveChat has been involved in NISIG for over 20 years, and while not a qualified fertility counsellor, will be able to support, understand and help provide valuable information.

Please be patient with our LiveChat. If we are busy talking to someone else, please wait or try contacting us again later.
We will do our best to talk to everyone wishing to use our LiveChat in a timely fashion. If it is outside the hours that LiveChat is open, please email your questions to [email protected]

How to use LiveChat?

When you press the LiveChat button on the bottom-left corner of your screen, a new form will pop-up. Please enter your details, press send and wait for us to start the conversation. You will be able to see us typing when a bubble with three dots appears in the chat box. At the end of the conversation, you can press “Leave” to leave the chat, or simply close the page.

Terms & Conditions

Our LiveChat service is offered to provide one-to-one support. We are here to listen, support and provide information.

Abusive or threatening language will not be permitted. We reserve the right to end any conversation if we feel threatened or insulted. Any inappropriate use of our LiveChat can lead to the user being blocked by NISIG.

Please take caution as you usually would on the internet with your personal information. Our LiveChat uses end-to-end encryption for your security.

In order to better assist you, NISIG stores transcripts of LiveChat conversations for a period of 4 weeks. During the chat, you can request for us to not retain your transcript. These transcripts are deleted at the end this period.
