New educational campaign addresses the isolation of infertility; highlights compassionate care Inception and its providers deliver to aspiring parents every day

HOUSTON, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In observance of National Infertility Awareness Week (April 21-27, 2024), Inception Fertility™, a global leader of fertility services, and The Prelude Network®, Inception's clinical network and the largest network of fertility providers in North America, announce the launch of "We Get You, So We Got You," an educational campaign that humanizes the fertility experience by highlighting the isolation experienced by aspiring parents navigating infertility. The campaign also includes a weeklong series of webinars featuring Prelude Network Physicians from around North America to help spread awareness of infertility.

"Our patients have tried everything they can to have a baby before they even step foot inside one of our 90+ Prelude Network clinics across North America," says TJ Farnsworth, Founder and CEO of Inception Fertility. "They are emotionally, mentally, and physically burnt out, and frankly we know that they'd rather not be here, because if they could have a baby any other way, they would! We understand because we have been there, and it's from our own experiences that we have committed to improving the entire process – from improving care to expanding financial options that will help patients access that care."

Understanding firsthand that isolation – and the need to improve the patient experience – Farnsworth and his wife, Margaret, built Inception after the birth of their son, Wyatt, who was conceived with the help of in vitro fertilization (IVF) after a long, tenuous battle with infertility.

"Infertility is hard, and while one in six couples globally is affected by it, the pain and sadness can leave someone feeling like they are completely isolated," says Margaret Farnsworth, who is also the Executive Director of The Wyatt Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their dream of building a family through assisted reproductive technology (ART). "We hope that through our messaging, we can help people feel less alone, and encourage them to take the next step, because there is always hope."

Many staff and physicians within Inception and Prelude have also experienced infertility, including Lindsey Rabaut, Chief Marketing Officer at Inception. "When my husband and I were trying for our first son, it took two years, and I remember that feeling in my gut every time a friend announced their pregnancy. It was a combination of being happy for them and, at the same time, being so mad at my own body," shares Rabaut, who created this campaign with the help of creative agencies West Global and Fact & Fiction. She also shares the relatable feeling of defeat. "I had to admit defeat before I could even schedule my first appointment with a fertility specialist, and this campaign is a way to tell the more than 7 million people struggling with infertility that they aren't alone."

"We Get You, So We Got You" also aims to change the way infertility is shown in advertising. "The use of aspirational images focused on the end result, a baby, isn't always motivating to those struggling with infertility, because it denies reality," says Rabaut. "We can't promise outcomes, but what we can promise is to treat you like our family, while helping you stack all the odds in your favor so you can build your family."

To help those navigating infertility access quality reproductive services, The Prelude Network offers more than 90 clinics across the US and Canada, with 135+ physicians throughout those practices who are recognized for their achievements in advancing the field of reproductive medicine and for delivering compassionate care. This includes recognitions by Newsweek's Best Fertility Clinics in America, Castle Connolly's Top Doctors, and many others.
