National Infertility Awareness Week

RAISING AWARENESS DURING NATIONAL INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK APRIL 24-30, 2022✨
 
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.

National Donate Life Month

National Donate Life Month (NDLM) was established by Donate Life America and its partnering organizations in 2003. Donate Life Month features an entire month of local, regional and national activities to help encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to celebrate those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.

Donate Life America was inspired by bicycles🚲 and the phrase “Life is a beautiful ride.” Like the donation and transplantation journey, a bicycle serves as a symbol of progress and renewal.

To show your support, you can wear blue and green on Friday, April 22, for National Donate Life Month Blue and Green Day.💙💚 To learn more, visit https://www.donatelife.net/ndlm/

Endometriosis Awareness Month

Did you know that endometriosis affects about 176 million women (or 10%) worldwide? 24 to 50% of women who experience infertility have endometriosis.
This fertility health issue happens when cells or tissues similar to the tissues that form the uterine lining relocate and begin to grow outside the uterus. Endometriosis can grow in and on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, and other organs of the pelvic cavity.
It takes on average 7.5 years from when #endometriosis symptoms start to get a proper diagnosis. This is why awareness is so important.💕

Another patient’s FINA story…

We are so thankful to this thoughtful patient for sharing her story, even 2 years later! Experiences like this make us so happy!
“It’s been almost 2 years since seeing Dr. Davenport but never too late to give a review. Dr. Davenport is heaven sent and so is the staff. Coming from trying numerous years to get pregnant, I am thankful for this office. We looked everywhere for answers as to why we could not get pregnant.
After seeing Dr. Davenport, he informed us there was no issue and with a little bit of assistance, we got our miracle baby. I found out I was pregnant August 2019 with our beautiful daughter.
After finding out, I hugged Dr. Davenport and replied, “you did it”. He instantly replied back, “no, God did it”.
This is how you know you are in great hands! I speak highly of this clinic and refer everyone who ever felt like they had any issues. If I could give 10 stars, I wouldn’t hesitate.” ❤

A precious miracle…

After trying for 2 1/2 years to get pregnant, our sweet patient came to us for help and had a successful pregnancy within 4 months.
She sent us this pic to tell us how thankful she is for us, but truly we are so thankful as well…for our patients, for each pregnancy in which we are privileged to assist, and for these sweet little miracles.💕

The meaning behind FINA

In Hebrew, the name FINA means “He shall add”. That is exactly what we are about at Fertility Institute of North Alabama (FINA).
Dr. Davenport and his staff will use the most current resources, scientific knowledge, and technology available to make sure that you optimize your chances of a successful pregnancy.
Ultimately we believe that it is God that will add to any family, and can confidently give thanks for every pregnancy in which we are privileged to assist.

Another FINA story…💕

Hearing patient experiences like this make us so incredibly happy. We love what we do!❤
“The whole staff at FINA is amazing! Tarryn, Abby, Bree, Kendra, and Dr. D are the best combination of people to work with.
Dr. D tailored our treatments toward what worked best for us as a couple after going through 4 early miscarriages. Kendra was primarily over our treatment plan after a positive pregnancy test, and her and Tarryn were just as excited as we were when we finally got to graduate from FINA!
We will forever be grateful to this amazing fertility family, and FINA will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
