I'm really glad you are sharing with Infertility patients that mental stress can result from Infertility. It is important for people to understand what they are feeling, why and understand what options are available to help. Awareness is critical!

I would like to add there is an importance for those without Infertility health insurance coverage to share this information and make others aware. This information can be extremely important for those attempting to gain access to treatment.

Mental health is seen as a significant percentage of insurance premiums. Infertility patients can utilize associated research to effectively communicate with their insurers, employers and legislators as they attempt to gain health care benefits for Infertility. We need to educate leaders of the cost savings associated with Infertility benefits including the fact there will likely be a reduction in the use of mental health benefits if individuals are able to afford treatment for the disease of Infertility. You can find the specific research (including research by Dr. Alice Domar) at http://www.fertilitywithinreach.org/resources/cost-savings/reduce-mental-health-claims/.

Thank you again!
