Do you know what are some of the myths surrounding Infertility? Find out here.
Infertility often creates one of the most distressing life crises that a couple has ever experienced together. Coping with the multitude of medical decisions may be difficult, but you are not alone, talk with your health care provider about this. Here are some helpful information and resources…
Quick Facts About Infertility
• Infertility is NOT an inconvenience; it is a disease of the reproductive system that impairs the body's ability to perform the basic function of reproduction.
• Infertility affects about 7.3 million women and their partners in the U.S. -- about 12% of the reproductive-age population (Source: National Survey of Family Growth, CDC 2002).
• Infertility affects men and women equally.
• Most infertility cases -- 85% to 90% -- are treated with conventional medical therapies such as medication or surgery.
• While vital for some patients, in vitro fertilization and similar treatments account for less than 3% of infertility services, and about (or approximately) seven hundredths of one percent (0.07%) of U.S. health care costs.
