It’s always interesting when a famous individual speaks out on a topic related to fertility, as it offers us an opportunity to have a dialogue.
This week, Sarah Jessica Parker (”Sex in the City”) talked candidly about surrogacy. (She and husband Matthew Broderick became parents in June thanks to the help of a surrogate who gave birth to the couple’s twins.)
We recommend that you look over the article because it contains some very honest thoughts on the topic of surrogacy. It also dispels the myth that Parker was somehow looking to a surrogate to avoid changing her body shape (as would occur in a natural pregnancy.)
If, after you read the piece, you’re still filled with more questions than answers, feel free to contact our offices for a consultation. That way, you can learn more about how surrogacy might work in your situation.

 Think fertility issues are only a North American concern? Guess again.
Throughout the world, more and more men and women are becoming interested in the subject of infertility; they are also becoming more apt to seek out assistance to help overcome their fertility issues.
In a recent article, “Global Rates of Reproduction Climb”, the author notes that:
“…in the two year period since the previous report was published, the number of people who sought ART treatment globally increased by 25 percent, while the number of babies born as a result of ART procedures rose from 219,000 in 2000 to 246,000 in 2002.”
The article goes on to explain that the number of live births corresponds with the expected increase in multiples, a reality for many recipients of in vitro fertilization methods.

 During the past twenty years, the subject of infertility has absolutely become less taboo in American culture, yet it’s still one that’s fraught with misunderstandings and misinformation.
As a launching-point for the RSI Infertility blog, we’ve accumulated some of the most up-to-date information on infertility available, including some facts and figures that may surprise you.
- 7.3 million women between the ages of 15 and 44 have impaired fecundity. This translates to 11.8% of that population who will likely experience infertility issues.
- A female’s chances of conceiving and carrying a baby drop every year after she turns 30.
- About 10-15% of couples are considered infertile.
- In about 50% of the cases of couples with infertility, male infertility plays a significant role.
- Approximately 67% of all couples who are treated for infertility are able to have children.
