Dear Fertility Professional;
Fertility clinics throughout the United States have brought joy and fulfillment to numerous families because of the diligence of medical professionals to increase the success rate of Assisted Reproductive Technologies.
Most families are counseled at the outset of their IVF treatment about the potential for remaining embryos and the choices available for the disposition of those embryos. However, the focus of couples at that point in time is 'having a baby', not 'what will we do with our remaining embryos'. As a result, the number of embryos in storage continues to increase.
The goal of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Awareness Campaign is help these families think through the options available to them. We hope to accomplish by:
1. Helping clinics inform and educate their patients.
2. Providing clinics with practical help and understanding of the latest FDA Rules and Regulations from professionals who clearly understand them.
3. Supplying the latest fertility clinic survey data completed on behalf of the Awareness Campaign by California State University - Fullerton.
3. Maintaining an Internet web site giving potential donor families comprehensive answers to their questions and access to medical, legal and adoption resources.
As a friendly introduction we would like to invite you to watch several new videos we have created to help your patients make choices regarding their frozen embryos.
