Infertility is a common problem for women in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 12% of women between the ages of 15 and 44 years old have difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term. During National Infertility Awareness Week, April 21-29, take this opportunity to share these resources with Veterans you know.

I put off having kids, first due to my service and then due to my recovery from service. I really appreciate that this is an option.

It's good to see the VA providing this service to help Vets start and grow their families.

I have mixed feelings on this, with all of priorities not being addressed for some our veterans.

the last thing we need right now is more children. We can't take care of all the kids we have in the US right now. Once the VA can take care of its current responsibilities, then maybe we can discuss this.

I was told that the VA does not help with reversals of tubal ligation, which is why I am scheduled to get a hysterectomy on Monday. I am very upset that they are stating that they will help with this now.

Maybe they can reimburse me for having to get a second vesectomy done in 6 months and child support for 18 years?

Although my family is grown and I am about to retire, recently had a Radical Prostatetomy due to prostate cancer. Is there any help though VA for penile implants to correct ED?

Wow, I had no idea that the VA offered infertility services. That's wonderful to read. While I fortunately do not have a need for this, it's a really valuable thing for the VA to offer to our veteran community. Awesome!
