INFERTILITY
Websites for information and guidance when navigating a fertility journey:
Resolve: https://www.resolve.org
SART: https://www.sart.org
ASRM: https://www.asrm.org
Facebook support groups: These have been tremendously helpful for navigating infertility and other work-life balance issues. However, some of them are not searchable. The name of the one searchable infertility group for physicians is Women Physician Infertility Group (IVF/IUI). I’m sure these exist for other professions as well; do a little research and reach out to women in your Facebook network to find them.
Also, you can find a variety of active groups for the general population by going to the Groups tab and searching a keyword such as “infertility.” For example, typing this word into the search bar brings up several groups with various focuses, containing anywhere from 300 to 81,000 members. Enjoy the support, but always take the advice with a grain of salt.
