General Information on Infertility, Assisted Reproductive Technology, and Enhancing and Preserving Fertility:

• Frequently Asked Questions from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
• Conceive Magazine (conception, infertility, and adoption) Great magazine that is avaiable in all major bookstores.
• Infertility FAQ's (National Women's Health Information Center)
• Infertility FAQs (Women's Health Resources)
• How Do I Know If I Have an Infertility Problem? (Resolve: The National Infertility Association)
• Infertility (March of Dimes)
• American Fertility Association The American Fertility Association (AFA)
• Although, Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters is primarily known as a great infertility blog, the site has also morphed over the past couple of years into a great all around resource for infertility. I particularly like her Operation Heads Up, which explain all sorts of procedures, diagnoses, medication, and third party reproduction. These summaries are written by other patients and have a been-there-done-that feel which is a nice break from the usual.
• Fertile Hope Fertile Hope is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing reproductive information, support and hope to cancer patients whose medical treatments present the risk of infertility.
• RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association RESOLVE is a national consumer organization that offers support for men and women dealing with infertility. This is a wonderful source of great information and is unique in that it provides resources for advocating for infertility friendly legislation.
• Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) promotes and advances the standards for the practice of assisted reproductive technology to the benefit of patients.
• Fertility Plus Good informational resource.
• Low Tech solution that may be worth a try. This article is excepted from the The Doctors Book of Home Remedies II published by Rodale. It includes some of the more common low tech solutions such as cough syrup, egg whites, and Vitamin C.
• "Natural Solutions to Infertility " This article seems well researched and balanced without making ridiculous claims. But in my opinion, if you're under 32 and have been trying for one year or if you are over 32 and have been trying for 6 months go see a board certified reproduction endocrinologist.
• Facing Life Without Children When It Isn’t by Choice. The decision to live child-free in the New York Times.
• Patients Voices: Infertility. Audio clips of the infertility experience in the New York Times

• If you are truly stuck and need independent advice, consider an infertility consultant. Two of the best are Angie Best-Boss and Evelina Sterling, PhD. Although, not MDs, they are well versed in all things infertility and have written numerous books on the subject, including books on egg donation, PCOS, and a consumer’s guide type book on infertility treatment that will be released in Spring 2009.
