To follow up on a topic that was touched on at last nights group I found statistics and thought I would share. Please feel free to comment. How common is infertility? About 10-15% of women (6.1 million) in the United States ages 15-44 have difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year.
Welcome to C.A.R.E., your online resource for perinatal grief in Cochise County. In situations of grief and loss, it’s easy to feel alone or unsure about where to turn. The C.A.R.E. staff at Sierra Vista Regional Health Center wants you to know that there are places to go and people to talk to while you heal and sort through the overwhelming emotions associated with loss.
