Links

Here are various links to other web sites that provide support and useful information regarding infertility.

American Society for Reproductive Medicine: The parent body for healthcare workers involved in treating infertility. There are many excellent resources for patients available here.

Fertile Thoughts: A good site for general fertility information, resources, and chat.

Resolve: The national infertility advocacy group which also has chapters in most states. Excellent patient information is available here.

International Federation of Fertility Societies: This is mostly technical data, but there are a few good links on Assisted Reproductive Technologies and tubal factor infertility.

World Wide Fertility Network: Contains many excellent resources and links for couples dealing with infertility.

OBGYN.Net Infertility Section: This is a network for healthcare providers and patients alike and is updated regularly with timely news and information.

American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology: Use the information listed to determine if your physician is board certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, not General Obstetrics and Gynecology. Obviously, a subspecialty board certified specialist is highly recommended.

Center for Disease Control and Prevention: IVF Pregnancy rates for all reporting programs are listed here by state. Please see listing under "University of Tennessee Fertility Center" for relevant statistics. Our success rates have improved even further since then! Compare them to other programs in the state and the southeast. Check to see if the program you're considering has reported! In general, large programs can easily afford to report their statistics, and if they do not, one should be very careful about having this complex and expensive procedure performed at such a center.
