Understand your fertility

The first step in conceiving a child is to understand your own fertility. In this section (menu at left) we consult with fertility specialists for expert advice about understanding your egg quality and quantity, how to detect ovulation, and how stress can affect your fertility.

We also define the terms and acronyms, explore the tests and treatment options, discuss alternative medicine methods, and explain the drugs that might be suggested by your doctor.

Then you're ready to move on to the "how-to" section at left to help make motherhood happen.
