Infertility Explained: The Complete, Authoritative Guide to Everything You Need to Know on Your Journey to Parenthood is a two-disc DVD production providing an authoritative resource for over six-million clinically infertile couples of child-bearing age in the United States, helping them to make informed choices and achieve greater confidence in their decisions made in consultation with healthcare practitioners.

In a uniquely clear, convenient, and credible way, Infertility Explained shares the practical and professional insights of leading authorities in a compassionate exploration of infertility and related issues—in contrast to the welter of information available through the Internet and scores of books and pamphlets.

Acknowledging the potential impact of emotion and stress on fertility success, Infertility Explained also presents observations and insights from former infertility patients who share the “emotional rollercoaster” they experienced on the path to parenthood.

Infertility Explained was recognized with a 2005 National Telly Award
for Excellence in Health & Wellness Programming.

Infertility Explained is hosted by Alice D. Domar, PhD., founder and director of the Mind/Body program for Infertility at Boston IVF and author of Conquering Infertility. In each section of Infertility Explained, renowned experts in the field of fertility and adoption provide their insights. The humanistic side of infertility is presented from the patient’s viewpoint by former patients who have undergone ART, endured some failures, experienced the emotional issues and concerns that is the infertility rollercoaster, to ultimately enjoying the success of forming their families through ART and adoption.

“This DVD presentation sets a new standard for healthcare education by presenting complex information from a patient’s perspective,” stated Dr. Alice Domar, “This will be an important tool for improving the overall level of communication between a doctor and an informed patient. Ultimately, this can contribute to better outcomes for those seeking treatment options.”

• Michael Alper, MD - Medical Director of Boston IVF

“Drawing from our own experiences as former fertility patients and the guidance of many experts in the field, this production presents a broad range of options, as well as the issues, that face virtually everyone who has encountered infertility,” says Andrew Johnson, President of iMed Design, Inc. “My desire is that others who are concerned about infertility can use this information to help them achieve the reward of becoming a parent, whether they are just beginning their journey or whether they have reached a crossroads in their treatment and need to consider options.”
