MEET OUR PARTNERS:

MICHIGAN CENTER FOR FERTILITY & WOMEN’S HEALTH

Michigan Center for Fertility and Women’s Health (MCFWH) specializes in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. We recognize that infertility takes an emotional and physical toll on couples and thus are dedicated to treating the whole person–body, mind, and spirit–in a sensitive, caring, and private environment.

We have an on-site andrology lab for semen analysis, insemination preparation, and semen cryopreservation. Our endocrinology lab is available for blood hormone testing. Our CAP-certified embryology lab provides assisted reproductive technologies along with Oocyte and embryo cryopreservation. We also offer ultrasounds for diagnosis and treatment of infertility.

Infertility & Loss Support Group

Navigating through life amidst infertility or following experiences like miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, infant loss, or TFMR can be an isolating and profoundly challenging journey. Our team comprises women who have faced similar struggles and are eager to extend support to you now.

The primary objectives of our support group are to provide a secure environment for you to express your emotions, facilitate connections with individuals undergoing similar circumstances, and alleviate the sense of isolation by fostering a deeper understanding.

As a peer-led and volunteer-driven support group, we firmly believe that no one should endure such challenges in solitude. We are passionate about offering our support as you navigate through your unique journey.

  • Emily Nelson
    Emily Nelson is an advertising guru momma working full-time in Detroit who leads a vegetarian lifestyle. Her and her husband met in high school and now live in Northville, with their sons Asher & Milo, and rescue pup Monk. Their lives took a tragic turn when they lost their first child, Veda. With the outpouring of support from family, friends and a community of other women sharing similar devastation, she was able to piece things together and begin healing. She hopes to create a safe place to help others since learning first-hand the positive impact that can have. In her free time, she loves to enjoy the outdoors and the little moments in life.
  • Steffanie Marshall Writer
    Steffanie Marshall is a wife, Detroit Mom writer, and fellow infertility and loss survivor.  After a year of taking various supplements, charting temperatures, and peeing on ovulation sticks she was finally diagnosed with infertility. The next three years were filled with numerous medicated cycles, an ectopic pregnancy, five rounds of IVF, and four miscarriages before being blessed with three rainbow babies - Jonathan, Nicholas & Lucas. Throughout her four years of infertility, she felt extremely isolated. She turned to support groups to help cope with her feelings of grief and hopelessness. Steffanie is passionate about paying it forward by building a community to support our local infertility warriors and loss mamas. No one should struggle alone.
