When infertility occurs it can be a very painful experience for women or couples that really want a child. Globally, couples are waiting longer to start a family, which has meant a steady rise in infertility rates. In addition to heterosexual couples, there are same-sex couples and single women who need fertility services to create their families. After a fertility test, women might consider preserving their fertility through egg freezing, or pursuing fertility treatment with a partner or donor. In fertility treatment, we use drugs to stimulate those immature eggs and help them mature.
