National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW) for 2016 is April 24 - 30.  Is is a movement that began in 1989 and was started by Resolve. The goal of NIAW is to raise awareness about the disease of infertility and encourage the public to understand their reproductive health and that 1 in 8 couples have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy.

For more information about National Infertility Awareness Week® and how you can help, please contact the Resolve organization.  For a consultation about infertility and what options that you may have to become pregnant, please click here to contact Dr. Anita Singh at Lifestart Fertility Center. 

According to a report recently released by the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found that women could keep increasing their chances of having a live birth through up to nine IVF cycles. Researchers defined an IVF cycle more expansively than experts have done in the past. Instead of considering each attempt to transfer one or more embryos into the womb as an individual cycle, the authors of the JAMA study counted each attempt to stimulate the ovaries and retrieve eggs as the beginning of a new cycle. That means each cycle may include multiple attempts to transfer embryos.

The complete research findings can be seen in the Los Angeles Times article written by Karen Kaplan by following this link:  "Women are Giving Up on In Vitro Fertilization too Soon".

For additional information about in vitro fertilization and to set up an appointment with Los Angeles infertility doctor Dr. Anita Singh, please call her at 818-889-4532.
