As I was exploring the Internet for fertility-related news the other day, I came up with this link to a psychologist's thoughts on single women and their biological clocks.
In "Tick-tock goes your biological clock" on Examiner.com, Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman makes some insightful comments on how single women might approach their natural drive to have a baby. I was frankly surprised to see that she included egg freezing as one of the alternatives to quickly tracking down a mate. Apparently, word is really getting out beyond the infertility world that we have turned a bend in family planning.
If you're single and wondering about whether fertility treatments might be your answer to quiet a clanging clock, please feel free to inquire. Don't lose precious time simply by failing to educate yourself.

Upcoming Seminar on Fertility Preservation
On Monday, January 19th, I will be speaking to a public audience on the topic of egg freezing for fertility preservation.
Hosted by the Young Survivors Coalition, a non-profit breast cancer support and advocacy group, my primary focus will be on the potential for women who are newly diagnosed with cancer to protect their eggs from sterilizing effects of chemo or radiation therapy.
Our primary goal is to continue getting the word out there, so that pre-cancer treatment fertility preservation considerations are standard of care in the oncology field. I welcome attendance at these presentations by patients and professionals alike.
I like to present in a casual Q&A style, so please feel free to come with your questions.
The location will be one of the facilities of The Rose, an organization committed to helping all women be adequately screened for breast cancer.
When: Monday, Jan 19th, 6:30 PM
Where: The Rose, 12700
