The infertility message boards are for you to both share your story and to be inspired by the stories of others. Many of the women on these pages were told that they'd never conceive on their own. However, age, FSH levels, sperm counts, PCOS and having only 1 fallopian tube didn't stop these women from writing their own stories of success.
Please share the names of any professionals working with infertility including acupuncturists, herbalists, massage therapists, reproductive endocrinologists, counselors, chiropractors, naturopaths, homeopaths or any fertility specialists that you recommend.
The infertility message boards are for you to both share your favorite books and to learn about other books that may be helpful to you. Please feel free to review any book that has been helpful to you or one that you wished you never read. These can include everything from educational books to inspirational novels. Go to infertility book reviews to both post a review and look for that life changing book.
Please share your reviews of products ranging from OPK kits to prenatal vitamins. We would like to hear how the product worked for you and if you would buy it again. Please read the reviews of infertility products before making your next purchase.
