About Fertility Planit

Fertility Planit (FP) is an early stage start-up. We’re the social network for people worldwide wanting to have children -- and for all the services that support them.

Users search by location and topic to connect with friends, resources, reviews, discussions and deals to suit their individual needs. Our community brings consumers and providers together -- reducing the pain of infertility by offering information, support and inspiration to people as they explore all options for having children. We’re an infinitely social tool for fertility and family building. We invite people and brands from across the fertility, adoption, health and wellness sectors to join us.

Fertility Planit is currently in beta. Go to www.fertilityplanit.com to take a look. Our public launch will happen at our first annual consumer convention in Los Angeles in 2012 -- tentatively titled The Fertility Planit Show.
