Building your family

Learn the facts about stress and infertility with America's top researcher


Listen Later

For those of you who do not work in the fertility field, or if you are new to infertility treatment, you may not be aware that this week's guest is an icon in our industry.

People often talk about the research demonstrating that fertility patients can experience the same levels of depression as those diagnosed with cancer, or that stress is a reason for many people dropping out of fertility treatment. These studies were the brainchild of Ali Domar, PhD. She is a health psychologist who has devoted decades to helping people manage their fertility-related stress so they can live better lives and stay in treatment.

Ali has published many research studies and books and has traveled the world talking about this important issue. Today, she will talk to us about what we need to know about stress and fertility, accessing the best care, and some of her upcoming projects.

If you have been up and down the fertility rollercoaster, this episode is for you. If you know someone who has struggled, forward this to them.  They will thank you.
