baby-toyThink 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.
