Elizabeth Grill NIAW RESOLVE Chair

NIAW-Double Episode Week!

As we enter National Infertility Awareness week, we are grateful to share the wisdom of two wonderful guests, Elizabeth Grill, PsyD who is incoming Chair of RESOLVE, the national infertility organization, and Barb Collura, RESOLVE’s President and CEO.

In this episode (1 of 2), we meet with Elizabeth Grill, PsyD. She is the Director of Psychological Services at the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine and is Associate Professor of Psychology in the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Reproductive Medicine, and Psychiatry at Weill Medical College of Cornell University. She is experienced as a counseling psychologist and medical researcher with a special focus on the emotional aspects of infertility, IVF treatment, third party reproduction, oncofertility, fertility preservation, sexual dysfunction, and stress and infertility. She is the President for the Society for Sex Therapy and Research and Secretary and Chair for RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association. Dr. Grill is also the co-owner of FertiCalm and FertiStrong, the first digital apps developed to treat the daily stressors faced by individuals and couples experiencing infertility, using research proven modalities.

In this episode, Dr. Grill and I discuss the transition from infertility to donor conception, the shame faced by so many who use donor conception, the differences between men and women using donor conception, isolation and how to treat it and more. We address many of the issues that are at the heart of what can make using donor conception to build your family so stressful.

Take these words of wisdom to heart, replay when you need a reminder you are not alone and join RESOLVE, if you haven’t already.

And…tune in for our second episode in two days. See you there!
