Useful Links Section
The internet offers a wealth of information on infertility, pregnancy loss
and reproductive health issues. We recommend the following sites as a source
of good information

through IVF to information, support, and others going through the same
experiences. IVF Connections features IVF bulletin boards, IVF questions and
answers, IVF stories, and an IVF links section.
American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
is the largest organization of reproductive health specialists in the United
States. The web site for patients is full of useful publications.

of Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) is the leading
organization of Assisted Reproduction clinics in the United States. It has
an comprehensive database of IVF clinics in all 50 states and Canada.
Fertility Friend is a site that offers
useful tools such as menstrual calendars and basal body temperature charts
for ovulation testing . It has an extensive message board section for women
seeking pregnancy but this site is not necessarily devoted to infertility.

backgrounds) and have personal experience with the heartache of fertility
challenges.

operation to a national organization. RESOLVE is a non-profit organization
dedicated to providing education, support and advocacy for men and women
with infertility. The site offers numerous publications and a bulletin
board.
Fertility Lifelines is sponsored by
Serono Laboratories, Inc., a pharmaceutical manufacturer of fertility
medications. While this is a commercial site, the information is useful and
there is a free toll-free phone service directly to a nurse for infertility
treatment information. They can also check to see if you have insurance
coverage for infertility.
Fertility Journey is another commercial
site. This one is sponsored by Organon., a pharmaceutical manufacturer of
fertility medications. The information is basic but still useful and there
is a nice section on state insurance laws.

medications online and the site has good how-to information on fertility
medications.
