NIAW is about you—women and men struggling to resolve your infertility. You are not alone. While many people claim they don’t know someone with infertility, the fact is that 1 in 8 couples in the U.S. have the disease. There’s comfort in having someone to talk to, learn from and share with. Here’s some of what the RESOLVE community has to say about their infertility journeys:
“Our next step is IVF but insurance does not cover that procedure and we are not financially set to pay for this on our own or take out another loan to pay for this procedure! This has taken a toll on our marriage and we are both frustrated and cannot understand…”
“I went through so much pain and felt all alone until I found RESOLVE…”
“While my husband has been there through the thick and thin, family members and friends who have not experienced infertility just don't understand.”
