Hear from Kindbody patients who share their fertility journeys. In discussion with two Kindbody fertility experts, we'll dig into the raw honest truth of perusing fertility treatment.
Infertility
Prevention
National Infertility Awareness Week is a great time to talk about infertility prevention and management. Infertility is a public health problem, affecting one in every eight couples trying to conceive. Insurance doesn’t routinely cover it, and because it is a complex issue, it often doesn’t get addressed during routine doctor visits.
Supporting a
Loved One

There are many ways loved ones can support someone going through infertility. Letting loved ones know that they are not alone goes a long way in improving their social and emotional well-being.

One of the toughest parenting decisions a person can make is to try to have a child. To decide to raise a child. And to risk your heart for a child. Even if you don’t have a child in your arms yet, your decisions and your love make you deserving of celebration this Mother's Day.

Male Fertility
Male fertility can be affected by a variety of factors, some more complex than others. While men can produce sperm every day, it takes about three months for sperm to mature. The body’s environment during those three months has an impact on the overall health of sperm.
LGBTQ+ Equality Includes Equal Access to Family Building
In April my husband Wesley and I became adoptive dads to our beautiful daughter Olivia thanks to the financial support of my employer, Lyft, where I lead our global benefits program. Without the financial support of my employer, I may not have been able to have my family.
