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 […]
One way to make fertility treatments more affordable is participating in clinical trials or research studies.
Different studies have different eligibility requirements, and I’m thinking a clinical study is not something you want to do if you don’t want more folks in white coats all up in your business. But if you are at a stage […]
Earlier this week, I asked readers where they turned to gather information and to educate themselves about fertility. I think I forgot to mention RESOLVE - The National Infertility Association. More than just a website, this group organizes advocacy efforts, plans community events and makes experts in a number of subject accessible to folks. Almost […]
Wow. That’s not really a headline, is it?

Yes, you’re right. It is a topic I cover often here - this crazy notion that your reproductive health is just as important as other (covered) aspects of your health and well-being.
But, I do find great comfort […]
May is Mental Health Month, but don’t worry. I’m not going to tell you to “just relax.” This year’s theme is “Get Connected.” Let’s talk about that.
In celebration of the event, I want to remind my readers that in addition to their online resources and forums, the National Infertility Association RESOLVE actually offers two […]
