RMA of Connecticut Teams Up with PCOS Challenge to Offer One IVF Cycle Grant


NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RMA of Connecticut, a leading fertility practice whose exceptional quality and care helps couples and individuals grow their family, has teamed up with The PCOS Challenge Family Building Grant to help patients with infertility caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) build their families, and includes a free IVF cycle. RMA of Connecticut is one of only four fertility clinics across the country participating in The PCOS Challenge Family Building Grant. The deadline to apply is November 16th. Grant recipients will be announced December 15th. Grants are awarded once per year.

RMA of Connecticut continues to bring awareness to PCOS sufferers. Last year, during PCOS month in September, RMA of Connecticut created special programming via social media, geared toward college-aged students, and they teamed up with PCOS influencers to spread the word about how to manage symptoms associated with PCOS. Dr. Ilana Ressler, a reproductive endocrinologist with RMA of Connecticut will conduct an Instagram Live this Thursday, October 22nd to help spread the word about The PCOS Challenge.

Dr. Ressler adds, "We are so excited to offer one free IVF cycle to a woman with PCOS through The PCOS Challenge Family Building Grant. PCOS affects up to 15% of women and can be the culprit of many symptoms, not least of which is irregular periods, or no periods at all. Because of this, women with PCOS may have difficulty conceiving and end up suffering from infertility. However, with the help of IVF, we can give these women a much greater chance at building their families. Many women with PCOS go on to have healthy babies, and we are so happy to assist in that."

Grant submissions should be carefully reviewed to meet the criteria prior to applying. Applicants must include a personal statement (400 ? 500 words) and all supporting materials in order to complete the grant application. Applications will?NOT?be considered if they do not contain the requested supporting materials below:
