If you are reading this, it is highly likely you’ve made it to motherhood. However, that does not mean the road there was easy, or that it continues to be easy if you are trying for a second, or third, time. In fact it is with a full appreciation for the gift of being a mother that we recognize how physically, emotionally and financially challenging it can be when conceiving is difficult — which is the case for over 7.3 million Americans. As such, we are impressed by a brand new site devoted to the topic.
Fertility Authority is a web portal exclusively dedicated to the subject of fertility…
And it is clear that it takes the authority part seriously, just as fertility itself has become serious business (worth over $3 billion as an industry). Founded by entrepreneur Gina Bartasi, who was inspired by her own fertility struggles, the site is helmed by a 20-year editorial veteran along with journalists with a specialty in health care and reproductive health, and it is vetted by accredited Reproductive Endocrinologists. Among the key content areas are diagnosis, treatment, tests and medications, emotional issues and “family building options,” along with other relevant features like financial planning and a spotlight on noteworthy physicians.
At the same time, it’s clear Fertility Authority recognizes the importance of creating a community around this charged topic; launched less than a month ago, the boards have yet to gain traction, but we would imagine that will soon snowball. Already appealing are the testimonial videos (including a welcome video featuring self-styled fertility posterchild Alexis Stewart) and several good bloggers.
Our wish is that you never have a strong need for a resource like this; but until that’s the case, we welcome the opportunity for this sort of credible one-stop information shopping.

Our Latest Blog Post
Read our latest post: “How Public Should Your Public Persona Be?” Reflections on the blurring lines between our public and private, personal and professional personas when it comes to participating online. As Executive Moms, we might even think of holding ourselves to a higher standard of managing this with sensitivity and balance. Have you thought about the point at which sharing turns to oversharing?
