SelfStart-IVF by Sama: Catalyzing Your Fertility Journey
Starting Your Fertility Journey? Don't Let Long Wait Times Hold You Back
I recently met a woman at an advocacy event who shared her heartfelt and frustrating journey with infertility. She had been "in treatment for infertility" with her OB/GYN for seven long years, taking Clomid because nothing seemed "wrong" with her. Despite her commitment and hope, she wasn't getting closer to her dream of starting a family. It was only after finally consulting with a fertility specialist that she began to see progress. In a matter of months, she was able to achieve her family-building goals, a stark contrast to the years she spent without specialized care.
The Challenge: Long Wait Times for Fertility Doctors
One of the primary reasons for these prolonged struggles is the lengthy wait times to see a fertility doctor. In the United States, there are only about 1,100 fertility doctors, or Reproductive Endocrinologists (REIs), serving millions of people. This scarcity leads to significant delays in scheduling appointments. Typically, the journey to fertility treatment starts with an initial anxiety inducing consultation, which can take weeks, if not months, to secure. Even after this first visit, multiple stressful follow-up appointments are often necessary before you can start planning your IVF treatment cycle.
