Key Takeaways
  • World Infertility Awareness Month, observed in June, brings attention to the emotional, physical, and financial struggles of infertility.

Infertility is more common than many realize—yet it’s often misunderstood and surrounded by silence. World Infertility Awareness Month, observed each June, is an opportunity to change that.

At Reproductive Partners Fertility Center in San Diego, we believe in not only providing advanced fertility treatments but also breaking down the stigma around infertility. This month is a time to acknowledge the emotional and medical complexities of infertility—and to stand in solidarity with those on the path to parenthood.
Why Infertility Awareness Month Matters

Infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples in the United States. Despite how common it is, many individuals and families face it in silence, feeling isolated or misunderstood.

World Infertility Awareness Month:
  • Raises public understanding of infertility causes and treatments
  • Encourages open conversations and shared experiences
  • Reduces stigma and promotes mental health support
  • Improves access to reproductive care and resources
  • Celebrates diverse paths to parenthood, including IVF, IUI, surrogacy, and third-party reproduction

At RPSD, we see every day how powerful it is to feel heard, seen, and supported.
