Removing the financial burden of infertility by providing family-building grants. As a result, 85% of infertility patients are self-pay.
Infertility affects 13.5% of all married, childless women and 1 out of 6 couples. Those individuals battling infertility not only face not only an emotional journey, but a financial journey as well. Unfortunately, only 11 states (not including Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana) have an insurance mandate that requires employers to include IVF coverage in their health plans. Parental Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established to raise infertility awareness and provide financial assistance to those battling infertility. Parental Hope has an exclusive partnership with the Institute for Reproductive Health in Cincinnati, Ohio (IRH) to support its mission to alleviate the financial burden of IVF by awarding the Parental Hope Family Grant. Parental Hope is a 100% voluntary organization (no salaries!) to ensure as much money raised and contributed to Parental Hope is given to those individuals who need it the most.

🌸 October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month 🌸
At Parental Hope, we know that infertility and loss are part of many family-building journeys. One in four pregnancies ends in loss, yet too often these stories are carried in silence.
This month, we honor the babies gone too soon 💜, we hold space for the grieving parents, and we remind every family touched by loss: you are not alone. Your baby matters. Your story matters.
Together, let’s break the silence, support one another, and bring hope and healing to those who need it most. ✨

💚 September is PCOS Awareness Month 💚
What is PCOS?
Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and is one of the most common causes of infertility.
Common symptoms include:
⚡ Irregular or absent periods
⚡ Difficulty getting pregnant
⚡ Weight fluctuations
⚡ Acne, excess hair growth, or thinning hair
⚡ Ovarian cysts
While PCOS can make family-building more difficult, treatments such as lifestyle changes, medication, and assisted reproductive technologies (like IVF) can help many women achieve their dream of becoming parents.
At Parental Hope, we stand with those battling PCOS and are committed to offering financial assistance and support along the journey to parenthood. 💙
💡 This month, help spread awareness: share facts, support loved ones, and remind those struggling that they are not alone.

With one in eight couples suffering from infertility and 7.3 million women requiring infertility treatment during their reproductive years—according to the National Survey of Family Growth—infertility has become a pervasive and silent tormentor, often shrouded in secrecy and shame. Impacting men and women alike, infertility does not discriminate and can have devastating long-term effects, physically, emotionally, and financially.
For those struggling with infertility the battle can be all consuming. In addition to the toll it can take on a woman’s body and the emotional dejection of multiple failed cycles, the financial burden placed on couples battling infertility cannot be overstated. The average cost of one-round of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in the United States is $12,500 not including medication costs, which can range from $1,000-$5,000 per round of IVF. And, because IVF is not guaranteed to result in pregnancy, many couples may require multiple rounds to become pregnant.
The burdens imposed on a couple battling infertility are enormous. Because infertility is a little-known and often misunderstood disease, those diagnosed with infertility can feel isolated and alone. Parental Hope’s mission is to raise infertility awareness and provide emotional and financial support to hopeful couples battling infertility. We do that in the following ways:
1. Through the Parental Hope Family Grants, we help alleviate the financial burden of infertility.
2. Through various events and public outreach, Parental Hope advocates for those struggling with infertility by raising awareness and educating the public.
3. Through quarterly peer-led support, Parental Hope helps alleviate the emotional burden of couples battling infertility.
Parental Hope is an organization operated by individuals who have personally battled and overcome infertility. The working board, none of whom receive a salary from Parental Hope, are dedicated to supporting those battling infertility, and raising awareness in the community.
