I saw this story about people going to NYC for a chance to touch some statues. Specifically these are people that are struggling with infertility, you see these statues have built a reputation as fertility statues. They are actually quite famous as it turns out they belong to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, you know that show. The statues originally belonged to this tribe called Baule and they live on the Ivory Coast of West Africa.
There was a lot of hopeful infertility support data released recently from studies done in Australia. According to some of their latest research the Institute of Health And Welfare’s statistics indicate a substantial rise in the number of healthy babies being born to women in their early forties. The numbers indicated a 40 percent rise in the number of healthy births from the year 2002 compared to 4 years later in 2006. This is quite a bit of hopeful news for those women looking to assisted reproductive technology to help them concieve.
