If you aren’t among the lucky customers of the other 10%, there are places you can go to apply for financial assistance with your fertility treatments. Several fertility clinics offer shared cycle programs which defray the costs of using donor eggs. If you are planning to use in vitro fertilization (IVF), the International Council on Infertility Information Dissemination, Inc (INCID) offers scholarships to those in financial need.

For women (and men) who are about to undergo cancer treatment and want to look into preserving their eggs or sperm for future attempts at having a family, Fertile Hope may be able to help. For those of us who completed our treatments before cryopreservation was an option, the SAMFund for Young Adult Survivors of Cancer offers grants and scholarships every year to help cover medical and other expenses – including those related to fertility treatments.

Of course, I have an application pending.

Financial Assistance for Fertility Treatments

We have been busy at the science and health channel launching some fresh ideas! I am excited to see our channel grow and know our bloggers have so much to offer… knowledge, tips, research, diet, exercise and a whole lot of humor.

First of all, I wanted to let y’all know about our new sites . A few months back we introduced b5 media’s first “Green” blog, Daily Tomorrow. Ali is doing a great job over there, so go check her out. Scott is reporting on men’s health issues from a “manly” point of view on Health and Men . Then there is Mental Health Notes. Alicia gives you all the “411″ on anything mental health related.

Then we have our 2 newest sites. So new, their temporary templates are still up, but worth a hello. Gabrielle is writing on everything your womb would ever want to know about conceiving at Fertility Notes. Then we have our new pediatric health blog written by Grace, Kids Health Notes.

We have also had some changes. Sara took over Healthbolt. And Laura very graciously stepped in to keep Baldiness alive. And it is alive and well!

So there you have it. You are now officially up to date on everything science and health related here at b5media. And I also want to say a thanks to all of the bloggers have been around for a bit, but still keep it fresh! Have a great week all!
