Fertility Answers

Our Gift of Hope IVF Grant application period is in full swing and we'd like to share one of our recent Gift of Hope success stories!

Meet Sarah and Daniel, one of our Gift of Hope IVF Grant winners from 2023!

Sarah and Daniel struggled to get pregnant for several years. Then they learned that Sarah had Lean PCOS and insulin resistance which causes her not to ovulate. The Baton Rouge couple exhausted their savings on other fertility treatments and knew that IVF was their only hope.

Then they won the 2023 Gift of Hope IVF Grant 😍 Their identical twin girls Eloise and Audrey just turned two!

Gift of Hope IVF Grant 2026 applications are now available!

Did you know that 1 in 6 couples struggle with infertility each year? Yet, most insurance companies still treat infertility as a non-medically necessary disease, but as something that is elective. That needs to change.

Since 2006, Fertility Answers has been awarding IVF cycles to those in our community in need. While more and more insurance policies are covering fertility treatment, there are still many who cannot pursue treatment options to build a family because it is out of their reach financially. We feel strongly that couples, no matter their financial limitations or lack of infertility insurance coverage, should have HOPE to build their families.

Hope was our very first Gift of Hope baby and her parents Laura and Terry were our very first Gift of Hope IVF Grant recipients way back when the program started in 2006! And, of course, we were completely honored when Laura and Terry named their baby Hope when she was born in 2007.

Now Hope is 19 years old...hard to believe we have been providing this unique gift of hope for over 20 years. 😍

Finally! A name change that reflects the full spectrum of what we used to call Polycystic O***y Syndrome, or PCOS.

After years of deliberation, the medical community is finally giving PCOS the makeover that it deserves. We've long known that it was more than just multiple ovarian cysts on the ovaries. Now, its new name Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or PMOS, reflects that this condition ties in many different systems of the body: endocrine (hormones), metabolic (how our body processes what we eat and drink), and ovaries (how it all affects female reproduction).

Why the name change? By making this more than just a female reproduction issue, we hope that the syndrome will get more attention and more research dollars. This will lead to better treatment options and hopefully one day a cure!
