1 in 6 people are affected by infertility; this is one CT couple's story
Manage episode 424798397 series 1162310
June is Infertility Awareness Month.
According to the World Health Organization, around 1 in 6 people are now affected by infertility. A new study suggests that microplastics might be impacting male infertility.
And while technological advances offer opportunities and hope for many would-be parents, treatments like IVF are expensive, and they’re not available for everyone. Plus, they don’t always work.
Navigating infertility can be an emotional for all those seeking parenthood. Today, we'll hear one local's couple journey. And we want to hear yours too. What's your infertility story?
GUESTS:
- Dr. Maya Barsky: Lead Physician at The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services and Assistant Professor in the Department of OB/GYN at UCONN School of Medicine
- Anthony Edwards and Yaneeke Calderon: a couple living in Connecticut.
