Interested in Keeping Up to Date on IVF and Fertility? Here are Top 10 Twitter Feeds Just For You

It seems fitting that one of the fastest paced social media platforms – Twitter – is host to some of the top experts and interesting personalities in the world of infertility and/or fertility treatments. To save you time, we’ve compiled a list of our Top 10 “Must Follow” Twitter feeds.

1. @RRC. Why save the best for last? Seriously, though – RRC is a leading IVF clinic in the nation and we focus on Tweeting the latest and greatest fertility treatments so check us out, share our feed and please participate in the conversation!
2. @RESOLVEORG. Resolve is the Twitter account for the National Infertility Association. They are a wonderful source of information for individuals who want to learn more about infertility as well as a hub for those looking for support groups and/or certified fertility clinics in your area.
3. @FertilityChat. Sometimes, the world of fertility treatments means reading about clinical treatments and processes provided in clinical settings no matter how warm and fuzzy we try to be. Fertility treatments are a science, after all. Fertility Chat is the Twitter feed from Drew Nesbitt, an acupuncture and TCM practitioner in Toronto. It’s nice to read his natural take on things. Plus, studies have shown a correlation between certain acupuncture techniques and improved IVF success rates.
4. @PCOSA. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility – and one of the least understood and underdiagnosed of the medical conditions that cause infertility. The PCOSA is a great source of information about PCOS as well as its symptoms, treatments and up-to-date research findings.
5. @PCOSDiet. Piggybacking on that Twitter feed is PCOSDiet, the Twitter feed authored by Hilary Wright, a registered and licensed dietician. If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS – or suspect you have it – you’ll enjoy her book, The PCOS Diet Plan, from which her Tweets were born. We enjoy her no-nonsense approach to what can often seem like a very mysterious condition.
6. @Endometriosis. Here’s another common cause of infertility in women and Endometriosis.org id a global forum. While not all of their tweets are directly related to infertility, those who have endometriosis will certainly appreciate their tweets.
7. @BrokenBrownEgg. Perhaps one of the least recognized aspects of infertility is that different cultures view, treat and process the reality of infertility differently. @BrokenBrownEgg is the Twitter feed for The Broken Brown Egg Blog, written by Regina Tiye, an African-American woman who blogs and tweets to shine the light on infertility and treatments for people of color.
8. @FertilityPlanIt. This Twitter feed brings together a broad range of fertility-related information for just about anyone planning to grow their family. Their focus leans towards the more proactive things you can do to facilitate fertility and their motto is, “Get healthy. Get pregnant. Plan for the family you want.”
9. @PomegranateGurl. Here is what we love most about @PomegranateGurl; it’s a tweet written by a true survivor! Every once in a while, IVF and other reproductive technologies simply don’t work. Typically, these active bloggers drop off the map and stop writing. The same thing happens for women who become mothers via IVF or other fertility treatments; their blogs shift away from the topic of infertility and morph into child scrapbook and mothering blogs. Julie, aka PomegranateGurl, spent 12 years undergoing fertility treatments and lost eight babies. Now, her mission is to bring attention to the plight of infertile women and support them any way she can. She’s a true hero in our book.
10. @FertilityPoddy. Tired of reading? Whew! Those of us who pine for the newest information regarding fertility treatments have to do a lot of it. Instead, check out tweets from The Fertility Podcast to listen to real life stories of love, loss, inspiration and hope – from people just like you.
