The internet has a lot to say about fertility. Some of it’s helpful. Some of it is… let’s just say, sus.
One minute you’re Googling “IVF success rates,” and the next you’re deep in a forum about pineapple cores, mystery supplements, and that one auntie’s essential oil protocol. It’s a slippery slope.
Here’s the deal:
Fertility info is everywhere, but not all of it is created equal. That’s why it’s so important to know where to look, especially when you’re trying to make decisions about your body, your care, and your future.
Solid, science-backed places to start ⬇️
American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM): Gold-standard, evidence-based info straight from the experts.
RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association : A National fertility support organization for patients offering education, awareness, advocacy, and real talk, in language that actually makes sense.
FertilityIQ : A crowdsourced, education-focused platform that gathers detailed reviews of fertility clinics and doctors from real patients. It's well-researched and trusted across the fertility space.
Your actual fertility doctor (or a second opinion from one: Not the influencer who swears by warm socks and pineapple smoothies. No shade, but... science first.
Bottom line.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to fertility. But there are trusted sources, good questions, and medical teams who take the time to walk through it all with you. So yes, be curious. Ask all the questions. Do the research.
Just don’t let Dr. Google ruin your morning coffee.
