Show Support for Infertility Awareness This Week!

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Did you know that April 24-May 1, 2010 is National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW)?

If you want to show your support for this condition that affects millions of men and women in the United States alone, why not start by doing one or more of the following things?

  1. Blog about your infertility journey.  Many bloggers have found great release and relief in (typically anonymously) blogging about their experiences.
  2. Learn all you can about infertility.  There are many myths and misconceptions out there.  Education is the key to sorting through all the hype.
  3. Be a good friend to a person or couple dealing with infertility.  You don’t have to say anything to your friend(s), of course.  Just be there.  Infertility can make someone feel very alone.  Make sure your loved one knows you’re there for support.

How will you observe National Infertility Awareness Week?

  • RSI… helping miracles happen.

    Men Uncomfortable about Fertility Issues

    Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

    Recent survey results released by Fertility LifeLines(TM) reveals some interesting facts regarding male infertility.

    Some of the highlights of the survey include the following stats, many of which may help explain why men sometimes take a very low-key approach to fertility:

    28% of the males who participated in the survey said they felt “embarrassed” when dealing with fertility issues;

    39% of the males who participated in the survey felt sad or depressed when dealing with fertility issues.

    45% of the surveyed men said they would wait more than a year before they would seek medical attention for fertility issues.

    The upshot of these findings? 

    It’s apparent that our society needs to do a better job of educating young men on the facts regarding conception and fertility.  And slowly but surely, we’re heading in the right direction.
