"Egg donation, as all other forms of assisted reproductive technologies, is here to stay. If we turn the procedure itself into the "evil" that does nothing but harm, we lose the opportunity to affect change in this contentious area of reproductive medicine," says Fertile Heart™ founder, author Julia Indichova, who will be facilitating the two chats.
The first Egg Donation without Exploitation chat will feature Dr. Frederick Licciardi, director of NYU Fertility Center's Donor Program, one of the country's largest and most successful centers. Board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, and reproductive endocrinology, Dr. Licciardi is experienced in all aspects of infertility therapy and surgery. Widely recognized as a thought leader in his field, he is an associate professor at the New York University School of Medicine and a recipient of numerous industry awards.
"I'm honored to offer the women and couples considering egg donation, the opportunity to engage in conversation with someone who has made such a significant contribution to the building of families," says Indichova.
"I'm also grateful to the parents who will be joining us for the second session on March 5th to share their experience of using the Fertile Heart™ OVUM Program and tools during their egg donation journey. (Video: Julia Indichova's Introduction to the Fertile Heart™ Program)
Indichova is the author of Inconceivable and The Fertile Female: How the Power of Longing for a Child Can Save Your Life and Change the World. She founded FertileHeart.com, a sponsorship free, patient driven community, in 1997, three years after the birth of her "inconceivable" daughter.
The Fertile Heart OVUM Work, an original mind body program emerged through Julia Indichova's commitment to pass on the lessons of her journey through research, counseling and teaching. The program has been successfully used as an adjunct to assisted reproductive technologies such as egg donation, as well as an independent holistic treatment option.

"I know that getting pregnant through egg donation can become a source of healing for both the mom-to-be and the young woman who chooses to participate in the process. The case histories of my former clients are a testament to the potential to use this path to parenthood as a life-affirming journey for everyone involved. (Case histories of Moms who conceived through egg donation)
"What is also true, is that egg donation is the most costly, thus most profitable and the most contentious of all reproductive choices. With The Egg Donation without Exploitation chat we hope to contribute to a more open dialogue about donor conception as both an instrument of healing and a potentially victimizing form of treatment."
