Membership Information
You don't have to face infertility alone.......
Approximately 1 in every 12 couples in the United States experiences
infertility, the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual
intercourse or the inability to carry a pregnancy to term. That means
350,000 persons in Ohio are affected by infertility! The desire to have a
child is a strong biological drive and is a dream shared by many. Those
who have infertility often experience a multitude of feelings, including
fear, shock and sadness, at the possibility of not having their own biological
child -- something most of us take for granted.
In addition to the emotional pain and stress associated with infertility,
many who experience this medical condition have many questions.....
 | Where should I go for help? |
| What medical treatments are most successful? |
| Will my health insurance benefits cover the treatment? |
| How do I go about adopting, domestically or internationally? |
| Where can I find others to talk to who share in the struggle to build a
family? |
