Why More Young Women are Seeking Fertility Advice

The Wall Street Journal recently examined the social trends which result in more younger women in the US to seek fertility advice.

According to a recent "National Survery of Family Growth" found that the percentage of college graduates aged 22-29 who recieved fertility treatments doubled to 23% from 1995 to 2002.

It says that a greater proportion are seeking fertility advice earlier, despite the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defining infertility as the inability to concieve after 12 months of trying.

Also the internet with its level of information and allowing to communicate more easily has encouraged women to seek non-clinical and non-prescription approaches to the problem of infertility.
