Parental Hope

Did you know that, on average, women ages 26 to 25 years have a 15-20% of falling pregnant per month? Furthermore, 80% of couples will conceive naturally within 12 months of trying but…what happens when mother nature doesn’t answer the call? There are so many ways to start a family. And for those who want to experience pregnancy, embracing modern medicine through fertility treatments can be the ticket to parenthood for those who desire it and who have the means to get there. Jen and her husband David knew conceiving children without assistance was going to be tricky. A childhood illness had left David at a disadvantage in the "available swimmers" department and he knew making a baby might be difficult but never imagined the lengths he would have to go to be a dad. Listen in to today’s episode to hear Jen talk about her hard won journey into motherhood and how their experience with In Vitro Fertilization or IVF inspired them to launch the non profit, Parental Hope, a voluntary organization dedicated to helping couples battling infertility in three important ways: To help alleviate the financial burden of infertility through financial assistance, creating community and providing education and through support groups for couples battling infertility.
