INCIID has been very successful in providing donated medical treatment for patients who have medical and financial need but who have no insurance to cover IVF (in vitro fertilization). EMD Serono has partnered with INCIID to provide donations for cycling recipients of the Scholarship.
Without EMD Serono's help and support of infertility patients this program would not be available to consumers. We thank and applaud Serono for their stepping forward to give back to patients who need them in order to conquer infertility and build their families.
Find out more about the scholarship here.
This very popular program has been funded by donations from generous doctors "with heart" and clinics as well as contributions from you the consumer. If you know someone who needs our help, there are scholarships available.

Please DONATE TODAY.

Top Questions Egg Donors Ask  
by Kathy Benardo

  Have you ever wondered about the woman who donate their eggs to other women. Kathy Benardo, Director of the Egg Donation Program at the Northeast Assisted Fertility Group, and she has written an article for recipients about the most frequently asked questions egg donors ask.What medical procedures are involved with egg donation?   Egg donation requires stimulating the ovaries with hormones to bring a number of eggs to maturity, then retrieving the eggs through a minor surgical procedure. (Read the entire article here). (Read the entire article here.)
EMBRACING CHANGE
To be born is to enter an evolutionary process of growth and change.  We all grow in physical size and emotional capacity.  We are all called upon to navigate the stages of life.  Change is inevitable and non-negotiable.

If life were utopian, we would enjoy the present moment, let go of what is over, and to adapt to what has come.  But life is neither ideal, nor easy, nor neat.  Adaptation to a new reality is met with more or less resistance within all of us, due to the comfort of sameness and the disorientation of giving up a familiar (even if unsatisfying) today in exchange for an unknown tomorrow.  Even a happily anticipated tomorrow can be railed against because going into the unknown provokes insecurity about needing skills which could be untested.
