I’ve written about our journey through infertility and how we had our three miracles through IVF and I only wish we had had some less expensive and more intimate options during that time. While it might not have worked for our particular issues, it might have given us hope and a way to keep our infertility private before exploring it with doctors and paying thousands of dollars.
We are not the only ones who have prayed to be parents and been told it can never happen naturally. We are not the only ones who had to find hope during a difficult time. Both the financial and emotional struggles can be unbearable. One in six Canadians struggles with infertility, yet many feel alone because their friends and family had no problem conceiving their children. And out of the ones who do battle infertility, only 15% can afford IVF treatments and other assisted reproductive technologies. We were lucky, but emptied all our savings to have our babies through IVF. But new hope has arrived in Canada!
I’m excited about a new and innovative fertility product launching in Canada! The Stork by Rinovum Women’sHealth is an over-the-counter, at-home aid that supports a natural and intimate approach to conception.
Combining science and innovation, The Stork takes the well-established cervical cap insemination technology that health care professionals have used for decades and allows couples to perform it easily in the privacy of their homes. Imagine, just you and your partner trying this at home together with no technicians, hospital gowns or bright lights!
The Stork is an affordable option for couples trying to conceive that bridges the gap between costly clinical treatments and natural intercourse.
