Infertility Awareness Week at USC spotlights patient resources
During National Infertility Awareness Week, April 19-25, educational efforts will shine a spotlight on this disease that affects 1 in 8 couples in this country.

USC Fertility Research
Did you know that USC Fertility is responsible for more than 200 research studies that impact the way reproductive medicine is practiced? We encourage you to participate in a study, or ask about how the findings can influence your treatment protocols. For example, USC Fertility pioneered research into:
- Natural cycle IVF
- Donor egg IVF
- Ovarian tissue freezing for fertility rescue
- Vitamin D and fertility outcomes
Fertility Resources
Your fertility specialist is the captain of the ship, but the resources you select will help ensure smoother sailing along the course. At USC Fertility, we encourage our patients to take care of themselves, and to recognize a mind-body connection to reproductive health. Consider acupuncture, massage, meditation and a healthful diet during fertility treatment. Knowledge will make you feel more in control of the process, so set aside a few minutes each week to scan through a treatment description on our website.
