SGF is excited to offer a series of free virtual events and Instagram Live Q&As from November 1–5, 2021 to help information seekers make progress toward their goal of building a family.
Rockville, MD – Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) proudly hosts its second annual Fall Fertility Week from November 1–5, complete with 10 free, virtual patient education events. Over the course of five days, SGF physicians and team leads will host events featuring topics like preconception health, fertility treatments, menstrual cycles, open enrollment, fertility health, and family-building for minority groups. Each event concludes with a live question-and-answer session where attendees will have the opportunity to have their questions answered live by SGF physician hosts.
Interested attendees are welcome to join as many Fall Fertility Week events as they desire, even if they cannot attend the live presentation. SGF will email all registrants a recording of each event for people to view at their convenience.
“Infertility can feel like an uphill battle from a physical, emotional, and psychological standpoint, but the reality is that 1 in 8 people from all races and backgrounds will be faced with infertility,” says Selma Amrane, M.D., who treats patients at SGF’s Towson, MD, office, and who will kick off Fall Fertility Week with the Fertility 101 webinar on November 1 at 12 p.m. EST. “Fall Fertility Week is intended to alleviate the fear of seeking help and provide attendees with the information they need to feel confident in taking that first step toward growing their families.”
In addition to Fall Fertility Week, SGF proudly partners with the Cade Foundation and Circle Surrogacy to support the trying to conceive community. And for the first time ever, all three SGF urologists representing SGF’s Center for Male Fertility will host an IG Live discussing male fertility. November marks Men’s Health Awareness Month and serves as an important time to spread awareness about cancers specific to male patients as well as mental health for men.
While SGF fertility webinars are complimentary, interested parties must register to attend by visiting the SGF calendar of events.
