This week is Infertility Awareness Week.
Last night, I had the great pleasure of delivering these two cuties, who were conceived through intrauterine insemination (IUI) due to their parents’ infertility. Seeing this amazingly sweet couple with their precious babies and hearing them say their journey was worth it is what this week is about!
Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples, with 40% of infertility being due to female causes, 40% due to male causes, and 20% unexplained.
Infertility is defined as a woman under the age of 35 that has been having timed in*******se for one year, or 35 years or older, with timed in*******se for 6 months, without successful pregnancy.
If you are struggling to become pregnant, please know that there are ways to help you become a parent. Your path may be different than others, but it does not mean that it is impossible. And unfortunately, there are many couples on this same journey with you.
For the rest of the world, please support your friends and family by not asking couples that dreaded question, “When are you going to have a baby?” Just drink your water, mind your own uterus 🙈🤪
A special thank you to for always working so hard to help my patients become parents!
