When you have a few minutes (because it’s pretty darn long), go check out this article at Psychology Today entitled, “Who Stole Fertility?”
Originally written for the 1996 March/April issue of Psychology Today Magazine, this article stills feels timely and relevant. I’ve had this page bookmarked for a while and have been digesting it in […]
The annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology began this Sunday in Spain and will last until Wednesday. That’s nearly a full week of professionals getting together in Barcelona to think about the thing that many of us think about all the time - how to get us pregnant.
A Reuters […]
In a good way.
I was so pleased to see this appear in the online version of today’s Wall Street Journal. The post was in response to this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine which discusses the decline of birth rates and its implications. I LOVE the title of the WSJ post:
One Way to Higher […]
BBC News reports that IVF clinics in the United Kingdom have been given a mandate to reduce the number of multiple births resulting from IVF treatments from 25% to 10% over the next three years. This means, “increasing the proportion of women who have a single embryo transferred back into their womb,” as opposed […]

But, I do find great comfort […]
It’s April 15 and accountants and taxpayers across America are either breathing a sigh of relief or scrambling to help their clients or themselves get to the post office with their completed income tax forms by midnight tonight.
I am guessing that if you are like me, and Mother Nature is not the only person you […]
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH BEING PREGNANT AND IT IS NOT HEALTHY TO BE OBSESSED WITH ANYTHING. Agreed.
I have friend’s who lost EVERYTHING because SHE wanted to be pregnant so bad….a homeless shelter is no place to raise a child and that’s almost where they were. I’m sorry to hear about your friend, […]
FYI, this is the weekend of the Penn State Dance Marathon, the largest student-run fundraiser in the world. Proceeds (now in the millions each year) go to my all time favorite charity (FertileHope is a close second), the Four Diamonds Fund:
The Four Diamonds Fund is named after a story that Christopher Millard wrote shortly […]
