Infertility Support

People who have had similar experiences can be a good source of information and moral support. In this section, we provide you with Web sites that connect you with others through bulletin boards and chat rooms, as well as contact information for in-person support.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Always remember that these Web sites are public and anyone can join. Always confirm anything you hear with a medical professional, and don't post anything that is extremely personal.
  • Moderated sites are usually safer than non-moderated sites as moderators can control who can post and delete inappropriate material.
  • You may find it helpful to sign up for e-newsletters. They are usually written by professionals and women (and men) who understand what it is like to be experiencing infertility.
