Welcome to INCIID the Holidays 
(“Inside” the Holidays)
November 15, 2006 – January 15, 2007

Holidays are normally fun but for those who struggle with infertility, they can be hard. We think we can help by providing some tips, suggestions and coping strategies while at the same

Amidst celebrations and seasonal festivities, emotions are mixed and needs run high. INCIID the Holidays tries to bridge the “needs gap” and help men and women experiencing infertility and loss to come through the season with a sort of renewed strength and feelings of hope.  

We have provided a special holiday section on the website complete with recipe swapping boards, cyber bashes and special fun and games, a corner just for the holiday spirit. If you feel you could use some extra strength to or a quiet place to mourn, we are here for you? We’ll be brining some special guest chats and the  Support-a-thon Forum for Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays.

We kick off the two month long INCIID the Holidays Program with a Chat on Wed. November 15 with Third Party Reproduction Expert Joel Batzofin, M.D. Dr. Batzofin practices in New York City. Dr. B has a warm and funny spirit and can answer all your questions should you be thinking of using  a surrogate or using donor eggs.

We’ll also be scheduling some phone interaction with Helen Adrienne – stay tuned for details.
