National Infertility Awareness week

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 18:02:57 +0000

It is estimated that 1 in 6 women in the United States experience infertility, yet these women often feel alone in their experience. Resolve, The National Infertility Association, helps to provide support to couples coping with infertility. Across the US, Resolve local affiliates bring people together through free support groups and educational events. Resolve initiated National Infertility Awareness week (NIAW) starting on April 24th to help raise awareness about infertility. Reproductive Partners is a sponsor of Resolve and encourages patients to seek out their local chapter to connect with others who are also struggling with starting their families. These connections can help reduce the stress and isolation many couples feel when going through treatment.
