We Are Here For You

You might be here at FertilitySmarts because you already know that getting pregnant isn’t always easy. In fact, about one in every eight couples has trouble conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term.

You’re not alone.

There are so many shared emotions and feelings being felt worldwide, but, sadly, some of us shoulder the emotional weight without seeking help. Even when it’s right at our fingertips.

Your help starts here. Welcome to FertilitySmarts.

It can be straight-up shocking to discover how not straightforward this process can be.

With a diagnosis of secondary infertility (what the heck?) and having experienced pregnancy loss (so confusing), FertilitySmarts’ founder Kelly Park headed online to fill in the blanks.

How FertilitySmarts Came to Be

Looking online didn’t lead Kelly to the kind of information she was looking for. There were small sections on baby sites (no thanks), large medical sites with brief overviews, and many others with thinly veiled attempts at selling her sketchy products. Again, no thanks.

What Kelly was looking for was an evidence-based website about fertility that broke down the information in a helpful, easy-to-digest manner.

She also wanted to hear from other people who had been there and experienced that.

Above all, Kelly wanted to be sure it was a source she could trust.

This is exactly what we hope FertilitySmarts can be for you: A place you can count on to inform, support, and keep you company through all the highs and lows.

We Don’t Work With Just Anyone

Kelly wasn’t interested in sites trying to sell her those “magic beans” while she was feeling completely vulnerable; we keep this sentiment at the core of how we approach our partnerships.
