Facts
- Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system that impacts men and women, alike. In the U.S., approximately one out of every eight couples of childbearing age experiences infertility.
- Premature births are more common than is the occurrence of women’s breast cancer. Watching your baby struggle to survive each day is not something any parent should have to endure. Yet, every day 1 in 8 babies are born too soon and many don’t live till their first birthday.
- Postpartum depression is being acknowledged as a disorder that occurs fairly frequently. Women who experience infertility and/or the premature birth of a child are more likely to encounter some form of depression than are women who become pregnant easily or experience healthy pregnancies.
