No, it's a self-led, on demand program.

We plan on hosting a live cohort starting on September 7, 2023.

100%, yes! This program is not only for those struggling with infertility, but for practitioners who wish to deepen their knowledge and integrate this into their practice for their clients, too. The course includes practitioner modules

• An estimated 15% of couples will have trouble conceiving. (UCLA Health, 2020).
• Globally, 48.5 million couples experience infertility (Reproductive Biological Endocrinology, 2015).
• About 9% of men and 10% of women aged 15 to 44 reported infertility problems in the United States (CDC, 2013 and Office on Women’s Health, 2019).

Infertility and infertility complications, like miscarriages, can negatively affect a person’s overall health and quality of life. Many couples who want to start a family and are unable to conceive will experience psychological and interpersonal distress that could negatively impact their quality of life.

• Infertility is one of the primary reasons for divorce among couples (International Journal of Reproductive Biomedicine, 2020).
• Up to 60% of infertile individuals reported psychiatric symptoms with significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression than fertile individuals (Clinical Therapeutics, 2014).
• Nearly 41% of infertile women have depression (BMC Women’s Health, 2004).
• Almost 87% of infertile women have anxiety (BMC Women’s Health, 2004).
• Women who get pregnant via IVF have a higher chance of giving birth prematurely (Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2017).

Before you even get to IVF, the average cost of supplements, consultations with doctors, and blood work is over $5,000 as of the year 2022 (resource cited below).

Now let's look at IVF:

A single IVF cycle—defined as ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer—can range from $15,000 to $30,000, depending on the center and the patient’s individual medication needs. Medications can account for up to 35% of those charges.

At best, this price tag is daunting. For many of us, it sounds entirely out of reach, especially considering that many patients go through several cycles of IVF before conceiving or attempting other options.

• The average patient goes through two IVF cycles, bringing the total cost of IVF (including procedures and medications) between $40,000 and $60,000 (SingleCare, 2020).
• An estimated 85% of IVF costs are often paid out of pocket (Fertility and Sterility, 2011).
• IVF children are more frequently admitted to hospitals than non-IVF children. The post-neonatal hospital care cost of singleton IVF children was nearly two times that of singleton non-IVF children (Human Reproduction, 2007).
