Great segment! This is such an important topic for African American women. Thank you for sharing the story of these brave women. I would love to see the entire segment. Will it air on television or it is available online. Also, is there a system in place to offer donations?

Great segment on an issue that affects African American women in the greater Boston community! Can you please air the entire segment and will there be additional segments that follow these women as they face challenges or see triumphs during their journey to conceive. It would be nice to do some follow up for your viewers in greater Boston!

This episode was very interesting. When will the entire show be available on the website? Will there be a follow up segment on the women? Thank you for airing this episode, it helped black women feel they are not alone on their IVF journey.

Thank you for sharing this I found it to be very touching and informative. I would like to know if there will be a followup on these three women. Also, is there a way to dontate to Althea Drews cause? My prayers go out to these brave women and I wish them the best of luck on their journey.

Cultural pressures have made in vitro fertilization in the black community an uncomfortable option. Three African-American women share their different experiences with IVF with WGBH contributor Donna Gittens.
