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 […]

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 […]

Spokesmodel and “Queen of the Internet” Cindy Margolis decided to pen Having a Baby…When the Old-Fashioned Way Isn’t Working: Hope and Help for Everyone Facing Infertility because she felt that there was a “lack of first person fertility literature” available to women and couples seeking alternatives and assistance getting pregnant.

Ever wonder what goes on when one of your friends tells you she is on infertility “treatment” or “medication?” Are you and your partner considering getting some help conceiving? Has someone suggested “IVF” as an option to you? What do those code words mean?
Usually, they mean a lot of shots. Some big, some small. Some […]

There are several things that can scare folks away from assisted reproduction techniques. For me, it isn’t the cost (heck, what’s a few more zeros on our credit card statements?) or the odds (better than zero, which is where we started). It is the idea of having to shoot myself with long, loooong needles filled […]
