It was just a matter of time - I'm just sorry I didn't think of it first. Fertility consultants. According to a story in the Washington Times today, it's the hot (fairly) new profession that "helps couples navigate the maze" of fertility. Not everyone's thrilled with the idea, least of all fertility doctors, but I think it's brilliant. Someone saw the need and filled it.
The story explains that a fertility consultant is "part researcher, part consumer advocate and part sympathetic ear, among other things." It also acknowledges that couples who are just visiting the local fertility doctor probably don't need the services of a consultant, but those who are grappling with the intricacies of fertility law and surrogacy, for example, could benefit greatly from a third party.
Again, brilliant. And just one more thing to file away as a good option - career option, that is...
