COUPLES STRUGGLE WITH INFERTILITY
Infertility is a medical condition that inhibits an individual from conceiving a child.
Couples with infertility struggle month after month with immense feelings of loss, disappointment, and grief. Their hearts ache to hold a child of their own.
​
What most people don't realize is that infertility treatments are rarely covered by insurance, making care next to impossible. Couples may give up on having a child due to the financial and emotional toll.
The cost of infertility treatments vary depending on the underlying cause of infertility.
Treatment options range from medications to corrective surgery to in vitro fertilization.
​
The Nebraska Infertility Foundation not only wants to help with the financial burden of infertility, we also want to help advocate, educate, and inform couples struggling as well as their support system for a better understanding.
​
We encourage you to visit the following websites for more information about infertility:
