Money Woes Keeping Many Couples from Fertility Treatments


They're foregoing expensive therapies or opting to discard stored embryos, studies show a squeeze on finances is now playing a key role in many couples' decisions about fertility treatments, including whether they will try to conceive using assisted reproductive technology or whether they will discard leftover embryos put into storage, new studies show.

Among the new findings, presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Atlanta:
  • More than half (58 percent) of couples diagnosed as infertile who opted not to pursue treatment said cost was the primary reason;
  • About 7 percent of couples who had leftover embryos in cold storage discarded the embryos from October 2008 to March 2009, a number that was almost three times higher than six months prior;
  • About 57 percent of young women who donated eggs to infertile couples in 2008 now say they planned to use the money to pay for school, up from 28 percent in 2002-2004.

Obesity May Affect Fertility in Young Women


Ability to have children is important to many who undergo weight-reduction surgery, study finds women who become obese -- a step above overweight -- by the age of 18 are more likely to become infertile and develop polycystic ovarian syndrome than others, new research suggests.

These obese young women also less likely to become pregnant than women who become obese when they're older, according to the results of a study of 1,538 patients who were undergoing bariatric surgery at clinics in the United States. The women completed surveys about their medical and sexual histories.

   SUCCESS STORIES
 

Erinn, CA

After 7 months of unsuccessfully trying to conceive. My husband & I didn't know what else to do. We tried ovulation urine test, BBT & many more but still couldn't figure out exactly when I was ovulating. A friend told me about the OV Watch. After researching the device, I decided to give it a try. It was so exciting to wear the watch and see it show you when you were ovulating. We were lucky enough to get pregnant our first month using the watch. We are so excited! Our first child is due April 28, 2010.


Margarita

My hubby and I were trying for a kid for over a year. I was using the pee-on-a-stick ovulation kits during that time with no success. I'm not sure if it just wasn't enough time or if I just couldn't read it correctly. After all the heart ache, i searched all over the internet looking for answers and I stumbled on this OV Watch. I've never heard of this before, but we decided to buy this after counting all the money we had spent on ovulation kits in the past year. This was the BEST BUY! This was a lot less stressful; I had no problems reading this. And on the 2nd month of using this... PREGNANT! I still can't believe it.


Janelle

Just wanted to say Thanks! After over 2 years of trying everything the OV Watch worked the first month! My friend recommended it because it also worked first month for her too. I recommended it everyone including my OB.
