The news was announced earlier this week — Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s surrogate gave birth to the couple’s twins. It brought surrogacy in the news, but what many people don’t realize is that having a surrogate give birth to their children isn’t just for Hollywood’s elite.
In fact, surrogacy can be an effective solution for couples struggling with infertility problems. In some cases, it greatly minimizes the stress of continuing with fertility treatments that might not be working. Consequently, surrogacy shouldn’t be ignored; it’s been and continues to be a viable way to have a baby for numerous men and women.
Our congratulations to SJP and MB!

 Tied in knots because of stress? If you’re stressed out because you’re not able to conceive, that stress may actually be contributing to your fertility issues.
So says a recent study from the University of California, Berkeley, as reported by MyFOX in Chattanooga, TN.
A recently-released abstract from the study notes that:
“The subjective experience of stress leads to reproductive dysfunction in many species, including rodents and humans. Stress effects on reproduction result from multilevel interactions between the hormonal stress response system, i.e., the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, and the hormonal reproductive system, i.e., the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis.”
Many individuals and couples who have experienced infertility are not strangers to the notion that stress that can contribute to infertility.
However, it’s important to remember that the majority of infertility issues cannot be solved by relaxation. That’s why working with a knowledgeable team of reproductive science professionals is always recommended for men and women who have been unable to conceive naturally.

 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.
