Mail Lists Related to Infertility

Mailing lists (listservs) function a lot like newsgroups, but tend to be more targeted and with a smaller number of posters. The way they work is that indivuals send a message to a list address and it is distributed via e-mail to all the other listmembers.

This listing is divided into categories to make it easier to navigate. Within the categories, the listings are in alphabetical order and include the sign-on instructions, and the web address in some cases.

• General Infertility
• Infertility by Diagnosis
• Donor Insemination, Donnor Egg, Embryo Adoption and Surrogacy
• Miscarriage, Pregnancy and NeoNatal Loss
• Pregnancy after Infertility and Loss
• Adoption after Infertility
• Parenting after Infertility, Multiples, and Preemies
• Childless after Infertility and Loss
