Dark side of IVF stories are few and far between, but we’re helping to change that. We made history of our own recently. Our #UnmaskingIVF stories were heard, acknowledged and included in the #IVFis40th narrative thanks in large part to STAT, a Boston Globe Media health reporting website.
The editors chose to include ‘our’ perspective and experience in First Opinion, a STAT section of opinion on medicine, biotechnology, and the life sciences. The article is titled: As the dark side of IVF slowly comes into focus, even more transparency is needed.

This has been a week of saccharine tributes to the #IVF industry. And while it has 8 million reasons to pat itself on the back, there’s still room for growth, esp when it comes to helping patients become truly educated consumers. @PamelaJeanne https://t.co/C2qO4x5Gdl
