Struggling
with infertility is usually a surprise for women and couples. Emotions can
range from sadness to anger, confusion, frustration and hopelessness. Virginia
Center for Reproductive Medicine
(VCRM) team works with women and couples going through these obstacles
on an ongoing basis. We do our best to provide comfort, compassion,
understanding and HOPE. It’s important and refreshing (for some) to know that
while you are facing some difficult times, you are not alone! Consider these
statistics:
·
10% of all women in the United States (over 6 million women) have
difficulty getting or staying pregnant. Source: http://www.womenshealth.gov/publications/our-publications/fact-sheet/infertility.html
·
Infertility is not exclusively a woman’s problem. In fact, 35% of
infertility problems are related to the woman, 35% are related to the man, 20%
is a combined problem with a couple and 10% is unexplained. Source: http://www.resolve.org/support/for-family--friends/myths-and-facts.html

85%-90% of infertility conditions can be treated with medicine, therapy
or fertility treatment. Source: https://www.asrm.org/detail.aspx?id=2322

Within 2006-2010, 7.4 million women used an infertility service to try
to conceive. Source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/infertility.htm
Deciding
to use the assistance of a fertility center to try and conceive can be
exciting, overwhelming and maybe even difficult to accept. Again, you are not
alone. Even celebrities like Celine Dion, Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen and
Jimmy Fallon have struggled with infertility!
