Helpful links for dealing with infertility:

The Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction in Omaha, Nebraska was founded by Dr. Thomas Hilgers and his wife Sue in 1985. It is a multi-faceted organization which dedicates its programs of research, education, ethics, and service to building strong marriages and healthy families. As the Institute pursues the development of a morally and professionally acceptable reproductive health service, it is committed to the development of a culture of life based on responsible parenthood, responsible fertility regulation, and ethical means for the treatment of infertility and related reproductive disorders.

The Pope Paul VI Institute promotes the Creighton Model Fertility Care System (CrMS), an advanced natural family planning system which links gynecologic and procreative healthcare and health maintenance. Their fertility care system is called NaProTECHNOLOGY (Natural Procreative Technology), a new women's health science that monitors and maintains a woman's reproductive and gynecological health. It provides medical and surgical treatments that cooperate completely with the reproductive system.

The American Academy of Fertility Care Professionals (AAFCP) is another resource to find pro-life fertility care help. They address all sides of infertility including the emotional aspect.

The Billings Ovulation Method is a method of natural family planning based on the observation of the woman's cervical mucus and was developed by Drs. John and Evelyn Billings. It is less complicated than the Creighton Model Fertility Care System and therefore a good way to start monitoring one's fertility.
