“Of course HE can become a dad at any age! But for a woman, it’s different!”
How many times have we heard that phrase repeated by people who are discussing the whole parenting issue of males versus females? But it perpetuates a myth that male fertility is something that doesn’t change over time and isn’t a concern.
The truth of the matter is that between 30-40% of all fertility problems in couples is due to male infertility, not female infertility. It’s a fact that surprises a lot of men… and women.
The next time you hear someone talking about the notion that men are somehow immune to fertility issues, you might want to interject the aforementioned statistic. Hopefully, that will help educate people into realizing that fertility isn’t a one-gender concern.

If you’re tired of hearing you just need to “relax” or “take a vacation” to get pregnant, you’re not alone.
Millions of men and women throughout the United States each year deal with infertility and it’s very rarely a case of them being too “stressed out” to conceive. That’s why it’s so important for males and females struggling with fertility issues to go to a physician who’s been trained in the area of reproductive health.
Remember: If it were as easy to get pregnant as going on a trip or taking a day off to get to the spa, we’d all know it and do it. But it’s not that simple.

Rumor would have us believing that women are putting off their fertility treatments until the latest possible time in their lives, but that seems to be a myth. A recent survey of over 700 women showed that 88% were under age 35 when they first sought treatment for their fertility issues.
This shows that many women (and men) are recognizing the signs that they might need help (e.g., not conceiving naturally after trying for about a year to get pregnant, a series of ectopic pregnancies, endometriosis, STDs). It’s a good development, as it gives individuals and families more time to work with reproductive science specialists to address their fertility issues.

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.
