Infertility Support Resources
The following is a list of nationwide groups that bring together women or couples dealing with different types of fertility problems. We have included information about how to join or subscribe. These groups are extremely helpful for many couples. If you are looking for a local infertility support group, please ask a member of our staff. We will be happy to recommend an organization in your area.
ONNA (Oh No, Not Again)
ONNA is a mailing list for women who are trying to get pregnant. Some have been trying for years, others for months. The list is a great source of information on methods of conceiving ranging from herbalism to the ultra-high-tech. More than that, though, the group is an amazingly warm infertility support network. To be unsuccessful at getting pregnant for any length of time can result in a roller coaster of emotions. ONNA brings women (and sometimes their partners, too) together to share their fears, hopes, rages, and joys.
