COMING SOON – THE FERTILITY DIARIES ESSAY CONTEST 2025!
Check back during National Infertility Awareness Week (April 20 – April 26) to share your story for your chance to win!

ABOUT THE COMPETITION
Did you know that 1 in 6 couples worldwide are diagnosed with infertility*? This number represents more than a population. It represents a deeper impact that affects an individual, couples, and relationships. At The Fertility Center, we recognize that the journey through infertility can be very overwhelming. That’s why we want to take this opportunity to invite you to share your story with others who know what you’re going through and especially, those who don’t. We hope you’ll join us in our seventh round of The Fertility Diaries contest! We would love to hear from you and work together to raise awareness on behalf of the infertility community.

  Placement will be determined by number of votes. Prize money can only be used for services for yourself and is not transferable to another person.
