The case studies published by assistedconception.org have been written by individuals and couples experiencing fertility problems. Writing your own case study can be a very cathartic experience and can often release inner tensions and anxieties.

We always welcome new case studies. To have yours published, or if you would like to be put in contact with any of the authors, please email gillian@assistedconception.org.
