National Infertility Awareness Week

RAISING AWARENESS DURING NATIONAL INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK APRIL 23-29, 2023✨
 
It comes natural for most to dream of a future with children. Because conception is a natural expectation, it becomes quite frustrating and disappointing when plans do not become reality on demand. Many couples will uniquely relay the heartaches of a lonely struggle. For most couples, attempting to conceive a child is a very intimate process that is clothed in privacy. But because of the quiet nature of this process, those who are unable to voluntarily conceive often suffer in private as well. Infertility is spoken of far too seldom in our society.
 
HOWEVER, INFERTILITY IS NOT UNCOMMON.
IN FACT, IT OCCURS IN 15% OF ALL COUPLES.
 
And infertility doesn’t discriminate. While it impacts people across gender, race and socio-economic class, access to treatment is even more difficult for those who lack insurance coverage or the economic means to pay for care out-of-pocket.
 
HOW CAN YOU HELP RAISE AWARENESS?
 
+ Share your story. Not only can this help you cope with your feelings, but this may also help others who are experiencing the same struggles.
 
+ Find a support group. Whether online or locally, this will allow you to hear of what other couples are going through or went through and will validate your emotions. It can help you feel less isolated and will empower you with knowledge.
 
+ Offer your ear (and a hug) to a friend in need. Even if you aren’t on an infertility journey of your own, chances are someone close to you is.
 
+ Advocate with your employer. While more and more employers are discovering the value of adding infertility benefits to their offerings, many don’t. Plan a time to talk with leaders within your organization about the importance and value of adding these types of benefits.
 
+ Support the work of an infertility advocacy group you trust. Advocacy groups help raise awareness, organize and advocate all year long. If you find that work valuable, lend your support by donating yourself or hosting a fundraiser.

“We had heard of FINA through a friend that had success…”

“We had been trying to get pregnant with no success. We had heard of FINA through a friend that had success getting pregnant. We quickly got an appointment and met with Dr. Davenport who looked at our medical history and started testing. We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility, and Dr. Davenport and Kendra were so optimistic and kind the entire journey!
We were blessed to have our first transfer with IVF be a success and just welcomed our miracle baby boy! We have embryos frozen and will definitely return to FINA to expand our family!!”
Thank you so much for sharing your FINA story!❤

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. This is a time when we can show support to the many families who have suffered such a tragic loss.
While child loss may be a more common occurrence than people think, there are still far too many families that face the devastating moments alone, desperate for support before, during or after the loss of a baby.
To all the families who have experienced this loss, we are so sorry. You are loved and supported, and your baby will never be forgotten.❤️

Breast Cancer Awareness Month🎗

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!🌸
This annual health campaign helps to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.
The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer and helps educate women on why early screening and testing is so very important.
If you haven’t already, don’t forget to schedule your mammogram with your primary care provider or OB/GYN!
