Summer Greetings from INCIID,
I hope every is keeping COOL in the recent heat waves sweeping much of the USA. While the summer is a more easy-going time, INCIID continues to heat up with new information and opportunities for those struggling with infertility. We could also use your support in the way of a tax deductible donation securely online, through the mail or by faxing your information to (703) 379-1593.
In this issue of INCIID Insights meet Cristina and Mike, from Las Vegas , and Eric and Katie from IL. Please help INCIID help the many couples struggling to raise awareness about the lack of equity in covering procedures like IVF. Infertility is no one's national emergency until it becomes personal. Read the personal stories about couples who are making a difference by raising awareness and contributions for the only organization with a national IVF scholarship!
If you want to grab a good book for some summer reading - please by all means check out A Baby at Last!, written by Zev Rosenwaks, MD, Marc Goldstein, MD, and health and medical writer Mark L. Fuerst. If this book is anything like their last fertility blockbuster - you absolutely will want to have a copy for your home library!

 Almost a quarter of a million babies are born each year through assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, and nearly 4 million babies have been born worldwide using a remarkable technique that combines sperm and eggs outside the body, known as in vitro fertilization (IVF). This ART procedure retrieves multiple eggs, mixes them with sperm in the laboratory, and the embryos that grow in a special culture media are then implanted into the uterus.
