The Trying Time: A Comprehensive Guide to Infertility, Ivf, and Family Building

內容簡介

內容簡介 In 2023, The World Health Organization reported that 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility across the world, which is a staggering jump from the previous report of 1 in 8. Additionally, there has been a steady increase in the number of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles that have been performed over the past ten years, and approximately 2% of babies born each year in the United States are conceived via IVF. Despite this increase, there are limited evidence-based, easily accessible resources available to those trying to conceive or facing infertility. In particular, there is limited focus on mental health awareness surrounding infertility, and those trying to conceive are often left feeling isolated while suffering in silence. The lack of awareness surrounding IVF was further displayed in February 2024 when the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created through IVF are "unborn children" and have legal personhood rights. This controversial case has shaken the infertility community, leaving professionals and patients unsure of its future effects on IVF treatment. The Trying Time: A Comprehensive Guide to Infertility, IVF, and Family Building will combat each of these obstacles. This all-in-one guide will be filled with evidence-based, up-to-date information voluntarily contributed by health care professionals. Unlike any other IVF resource currently available, The Trying Time will combine evidence-based, professionally contributed information about IVF and infertility with a strong emphasis on mental health awareness. Further, it will incorporate personal anecdotes that readers can relate to. The goal is for this guide to resonate with each person who reads it, whether they are trying to conceive or supporting a loved one, or simply want to learn more about the process.
