6.2 million women experience some sort of compromised fertility in the United States. Are you one of them? If you are blessed with your full fertility, chances are you know someone who struggles with or has struggled with it.
In this FertilityCare Consult episode, show number fourteen on Infertility, Dr. Thomas Hilgers talks about the major differences between the ordinary approach to treating infertility and the FertilityCare and NaProTechnology way. The ordinary way is to treat the symptoms, and if all else fails, try IVF. The NaProTechnology way is to begin learning about and charting your cycle through the Creighton Method of FertilityCare, then working with your FertilityCare Practitioner and Medical Consultant to identify and diagnose the underlying problem to the compromised fertility. Napro treats the disease, not the symptom, and with much higher success, lower cost and much less suffering.
Do you know the success rate of pregnancies achieved and carried to term with IVF? It’s in the low to mid 20 %. With the Creighton Method of FertilityCare (charting your cycle) and subsequent diagnoses and treatment, do you know what the success rate is? At the lowest, it’s around 35%, and at best 80%, depending on the underlying cause.
If you’ve been having difficulty achieving a pregnancy, or have had recurrent miscarriages, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode. You may wish to follow up by listening to the episode on Recurrent Miscarriages. So many people have amazing stories of going through the IVF process, only to find disappointment or disillusionment. But there is hope. Please pass this on to any one who might be interested or find healing in new hope for infertility, as well as insight for women’s wellness.

This hits home.. I have a friend who’s been struggling w/ infertility. Unfortunately she just found out why, and this isn’t likely to help (I’d already suggested it). Prayers are definately needed for them right now.
Will do. Do you have a first name or initial so I can put her on my list?
Does he have a homepage from which these podcasts can be accessed? How would I find a list of these shows and the description?
L, try this web site and search “Hilgers”: http://catholicipod.stblogs.com/
Would you please pray for the repose of the soul of Giselle Alderson? She is the wife of Andy Alderson, former Executive Director of CCL (The Couple to Couple League). Giselle died yesterday morning from cancer. She will be deeply missed by everyone in the CCL community, especially her 5 children who range in age from 1.5 to 18 years. Thank you.
Kimberly, thank you so much for letting me know. I knew she was sick, but hadn’t heard how her treatments were going. My heart breaks for the Aldersons. Do you know where I can send my condolences?
In a related note, today is my mother’s birthday. She passed away on the anniversary of Humanae Vitae last year, and my dad’s alone on her birthday this year. Her name is Renee.
