In search of facts

So tired...I've thrown myself into some home projects for the past 2 days. I re-did all the pillows in my front room (8 total). When I made them before I did it really quick, just basically using glue and safety pins. So I finally redesigned them and actually got out the sewing machine. This of course caused and big mess, which lead me to reorganize all of my craft stuff tonight. We're talking serious reorganization- the label maker was involved. And I've had a headache all day. I must have inherited some of my mother's ability to continue moving and working even when you don't feel that great. I say that she's like a shark, if she quits moving, she'll die... because she spends all day being busy. I'm not all the way like that, but it does help distract you from pain when you are busy working on something. Anyway, I'm sort of rambling.

I've been reading up on infertility facts around the internet, but have been reluctant to post anything because some things don't match up exactly from different sources. For example, some sites say that 1 in 6 couples in the U.S. experience fertility problems, some say 1 in 7, one said 1 in 10. And its seem like they either go with the on third view ( one third attributed to female problems, one third to male, one third for both) or the 40%,40%,20% view. So I really wonder where they get these numbers anyway. I studied a little bit of statistics in college and did a student survey project so I am more interested in looking at the actual data and methods of study.

Then my cool cousin Amy send me a link to a report about Assisted Reproductive Technology. Its about the success rates of AST at U.S. fertility clinics and other great info as well. I've haven't read much of it yet but its seems really interesting. Here's the link if anyone wants to find out more about some techniques that are used and the success rates of those techniques:
