News, news and more news.
Reproductive Medicine Associates of CT (RMACT) has extended NIAW (National Infertility Awareness Week) into May by offering seminars, classes, peer groups and more. Why?

We're doing this to educate, advocate and support men and women experiencing infertility struggles.

RESOLVE: National Infertility Awareness Week
Next week is NIAW. National Infertility Awareness Week.
Started by RESOLVE: The National Infertility Awareness Association. RESOLVE, as an organization, began in 1974, with Barbara Eck Menning. Barbara founded RESOLVE, at least in part, as a response to her own infertility and her awareness that men and women experiencing this disease needed three things. Education, support and advocacy.
And that’s what RESOLVE has done for almost 40 years.
I started volunteering with RESOLVE shortly after the organization began NIAW. I remember participating in some of the earliest versions of NIAW as a director of RESOLVE of NYC. I remember the excitement that I felt, the awe, of shining the light on a problem that so severely affected me. The understanding that it might impact someone else facing similar challenges and uncertainty.
To echo RESOLVE’s words. I am. I want. I support.
I am. I want. I support.
I am someone who experienced the daily stress and medical, emotional and spiritual issues of infertility.
I want all people to be able to have the ability to understand infertility, have access to medical help, know where to turn for emotional support and know that infertility is a disease and should be recognized and treated as such.
I support RESOLVE and men and women experiencing infertility by continuing to write about important, pertinent issues, by working with RMACT and helping bring peer support groups (Ladies Night In), teaching Fertile Yoga and continuing the dialogue about this disease which impacts so many men and women.
