6.1 million women in the US have trouble getting or staying pregnant, according to the CDC. That’s about 10% of women of child-bearing age in this country who struggle with fertility challenges. And finding reliable info and resources can also be a challenge. 

So, we tapped expert Connie Stark, certified nurse and fertility coach, for some straightforward, no-BS advice you can trust. 

We asked her…

  • Can you explain the relationship between age and fertility?

  • What are the signs it’s time to see a fertility specialist?

  • What options do you have if you’re struggling to conceive?

  • What do you wish parents knew before starting their fertility journey?

Psst…wanna dig deeper? The Fertility Out Loud community is full of helpful insights from people who’ve been there. Check it out.
