Debunking Fertility Myths with HRC Fertility’s Tamar Knoller

Today we’re tackling a new subject for Politely Pushy: fertility and family planning. “It’s a human experience,” says Tamar Knoller when speaking about infertility. It’s not just for the LGBTQIA+ community, or for 40-year old women, and that’s a myth that HRC Fertility is fighting to debunk. Other myths: IVF is expensive and inaccessible, and infertility is just a female issue. In fact, 30% of infertility is male infertility. In the 35 years that HRC has been serving those looking for thoughtful family planning, a lot has changed--for the better. For starters, the egg survival rate has increased, the prices have decreased, there’s more precision to the process and less disruption to the patient. Given how quickly these technological advancements have changed the fertility space, we’re excited to see what’s next for HRC!
