National Infertility Awareness Week
How much do you know about infertility, who it affects, and what treatment options are available? There is so much to learn and several places where you can learn as much as you want to about infertility. There is the Introduction to Infertility course available through Suite University, which introduces the student to infertility, needed testing, and low-tech treatment options among other things.

Another place to find information about infertility is this topic's articles. Some of the previous articles here have covered testing, emotions, myths and facts, and so much more. There is another place that you can go to and learn about infertility - RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association.






This week, September 14th through the 20th, is the National Infertility Awareness Week. RESOLVE is hosting several events throughout the United States and online activities to raise awareness of infertility. The theme of this year's awareness week is "Secrecy and Infertility: How it Affects Relationships, Treatment and Legislation."

Some of the online events that are being hosted this year include RESOLVE's 2nd Annual Online Infertility Conference in collaboration with WebMD. On September 17th, from 1 to 6 pm EST five separate topics will be hosted.

  • 1pm - Medical Causes of Miscarriage with Dr. Arthur Wisot
  • 2pm - Treating Male Factor Infertility with Dr. Robert Oats
  • 3pm - Donor Related Family Building Options with Linda Applegarth, EdD
  • 4pm - Infertility Treatment with Dr. Eric Surrey
  • 5pm - Age and Fertility with Dr. Amos Grubeman
If you are interested in joining one or all of these topics, go to http://www.resolve.webmd.com You can go there before the conference and ask your questions, then log in during the conference and see if your questions have been answered.

RESOLVE will be hosting a variety of online chats, and you can see what is scheduled, as well as reading transcripts of past chats, here.

RESOLVE also has local chapters throughout the United States. These chapters will be hosting local educational events, and you can find out what is happening in your area by going here and looking for your local chapter.

If you are not a member of RESOLVE, now is a great time to consider membership. RESOLVE does so much for so many, and you can learn more about this national non-profit group through their website.

Help raise awareness of infertility and how it affects a person's life and relationships. Spread the word, join a chat, become a member, and take the course. Through awareness, education, and mutual support, we can help each other understand and overcome the diagnosis of infertility.
