I’ve always been a book worm. Now I’m a video-aholic. I love watching videos… on Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, HBO on Demand (it would be a sad world without True Blood). And now my latest passion is The American Fertility Association’s Video Fact Sheet series.
Granted I’m prejudiced because Attain Fertility is funding 20 of their videos, which are in various stages of production.
Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks highly of The AFA’s fine work. To date, their video on how to give an injection has been viewed nearly 1,900 times on our YouTube channel.
Other topics include endometriosis, in vitro fertilization, questions to ask at your initial consultation, PCOS.
Now why am I feeling the love so much today in particular? We’re in the midst of planning the next set of videos they will tape at our fertility centers and:
- They are timely, relevant and cover popular topics with a unique perspective that sets them apart from other videos. (Spoiler alert: topics in discussion include IVF success rates and donor sperm for the lesbian community.)
- We’re also adding topics to the queue that you’ve requested in our Facebook community. Most notably, you’ve asked for additional information on PCOS, which is now in the planning stages.
So if you’re ready for some educational viewing between episodes of Top Chef, check out the AFA videos.
And please, please keep the suggestions coming!

Shelly and the Attain team, your partnership in this educational initiative is changing lives and moving people forward. I know that together, we are helping men and women realize their fondest dream – that of becoming mommies and daddies. Without the ongoing trust and enthusiasm of your physicians, nurses, and other amazing professionals, this groundbreaking initiative would not be rippling forward. It is a joy to work with all of you. Truly. You have my gratitude, but even more, you have my friendship.

Shelly,
Thanks for helping us spread the word on all of our patient education resources! We’re working hard to keep the video coming!
Dear Shelly.
The AFA is proud to be associated with Attain Fertility. We know that what we’re producing with your generous educational grant is truly serving those trying to build their families.
With my great thanks – Ken
I’ve viewed all the videos produced so far and find them to be an invaluable resource. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series. Keep up the good work!
I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed them, Bill! Please let us know if there’s anything you’d like to learn more about. In addition to the videos, we regularly add new articles to our website and our doctors write provide educational information here on the blog.
Ken, Mary and Corey – it’s a pleasure collaborating with you and we look forward to many more in the year to come! Shelly
I work with patients at a fertility clinic, and the video on giving shots is especially popular. What an amazing way to make what could be an awkward or depressing ritual a time for a couple to connect in a loving way instead. Thanks so much!
We’re so glad to hear it, Carolyn! Thanks so much!
