It's remarkable, the things that people will do in order to Afford Fertility treatment. While it is disheartening that so few people have insurance coverage for the medical techniques that could make them parents, the creativity and resourcefulness of some patients is inspiring. Raising funds through social media is becoming more mainstream, as discussed in this ABC News piece.

Using the Internet to rally your supporters is a new take on the old concept that “it takes a Village to raise a child” – now, because of social media's ability to expedite getting in touch with others, fertility patients who need assistance to afford treatment are thinking it takes a village to have a child.

And their Twittering, Facebooking, and website-building are apparently paying off. If you find yourself in the majority who have little to no insurance coverage to help you pay for Fertility Treatment, the holidays may be the best time of year to put the word out and see what your loved ones think about helping out. And to help out further, nearly every year Houston Fertility Center offers IVF discounts – our current low price is good until the last day of 2012. Take a look at CallDrK.com for more details. We're happy to be part of your family-building village!
