672                    <strong>If you are someone who is currently seeking or receiving fertility treatment, we want to hear from YOU!</strong> <br /><br />Our survey for the Relationship Impacts on Treatment study based at George Mason University School of Nursing takes less than 20 minutes to complete. Please note there is no compensation for participation but your responses support infertility research - a deeply understudied topic.<br /><br />Eligible participants must be currently seeking or receiving fertility treatment, assigned female at birth, aged 18-45, able to read and understand English, and be a U.S. resident.

1005                                <p>I spent seven years navigating infertility, which was tumultuous but also a period of tremendous personal growth in hindsight. We were eager to start a family after marrying; we became pregnant naturally and miscarried twice.&nbsp; I was distraught and proactively sought out a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist (REI). &nbsp;Diagnostic testing revealed that I had diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), the medical term for a low egg count. We proceeded with in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic testing with aneuploidy screening since our losses were likely due to chromosomal abnormalities.&nbsp;</p>
