The journey to conception is a long, difficult road...
Infertility has become taboo. Often referred to as a silent disorder, it is rarely discussed. An
increasing number of celebrities are stepping forward and talking about their battles with infertility.
The issue of infertility is being portrayed in the media more and more. For some reason, people are
more sympathetic when celebrities are having trouble because it's in the news. This gives us a
window of opportunity to inform the public of our plight. Many people do not think there should be
an infertility mandate because they do not know the pain that childlessness could cause. However,
people sympathize more for people that come into their homes every week and for people that they
idolize. Sometimes the best advocacy is simple exposure.
Meet our unofficial Infertility Spokespersons. Those in the public spotlight who are brave
enough to talk about their struggles with infertility.
Boston Red Sox first baseman, Kevin Millar and his wife, Jeana had twins, a boy and a girl on April
27, 2005. The twins were conceived through IVF. Thanks Sara!
Olympic ice skater, Nancy Kerrigan suffered from secondary infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss
for eight years. She finally gave birth to her son, Brian Solomon on April 14, 2005 after enduring six
miscarriages.
Despite being in the best shape of her life, Olympic swimmer, Dara Torres was unable to conceive
after two rounds of IVF and artificial insemination. She now speaks out on the problem for the
American Infertility Association.
Jerry Bailey, a two-time Kentucky Derby winner just released a book about his struggles with
alcoholism and infertility.
Infertility is not a woman's disease. They're just more up front about it. Lance Armstrong became
infertile after having testicular cancer. He and ex-wife were able to conceive through IVF.

The stars have done it. But they can afford it. How can the rest of us pay to get pregnant?
