Events at Carolina Conceptions
Carolina Conceptions Participates in Raleigh’s First Educational Fertility Forum
On Saturday, May 8, Carolina Conceptions participated in the Pay It Forward Fertility Foundation’s first annual educational forum held at the Marriott Crabtree Valley. More than 130 gathered to hear physicians from local fertility clinics speak on topics such as IVF, male factor infertility, PCOS, surgery, fertility preservation, PGD, recurrent miscarriage, adoption, and affording treatments. Exhibitors ranging from pharmacy and pharmaceutical companies to fertility clinics, adoption agencies, acupuncture centers, and psychologists gave attendees a comprehensive opportunity to collect as much information as possible on their journey towards building a family.
Dr. Alice Domar of the Domar Center for Mind/Body Health in Boston was the event’s keynote speaker. She gave attendees a colorful understanding of the psychological and emotional challenges they face on a daily basis and how to combat some of those stressors. Dr. Grace Couchman and Dr. John Park along with Practice Manager Sheridan Robinson contributed informative talks to attendees on IVF, PGD and affording treatments while Dr. Bill Meyer and some of the Carolina Conceptions staff supplied participants with one-on-one time to ask questions and gather information at their exhibition booth. Carolina Conceptions is proud to have been a part of the first Pay It Forward Fertility Forum and looks forward to helping educate the community at this annual event for many years to come.
