Infertility Support Group
In vitro fertilization is one of the most common and utilized ways of treating conception problems. This support group is dedicated to those beginning their journey with IVF and needing support. Join the community and share your experiences, advice, and story with people going through similar challenges starting a family.
For anyone interested. I have certainly steered clear of many of these things now--especially any product with parabens or phthalates.

There is not enough information readily available to the public. It is only when we are on this quest that we learn these things. Then what I run into is people rolling their eyes at me. Which my DH did at first. Now he is on the same bandwagon as me! It's wonderful to have his support now!
RITKat, I think that's wonderful you are participating in a study about this. I hope they do a lot more research to understand just what effect these toxins have--and that they publish it more widely so people become better informed!
