Mermaid🐚 making most of it in the human world

Today is International Woman's Day.

Here is a little reminder to all of those struggling that your ability to conceive does NOT make you less of a woman.

You are strong. 💪
You are resilient. 💪
You are so much more than two pink lines. 💪

My Twitter swan song:

IVF should be more accessible to all Canadians who need it.

There’s too much shame on us already.
There’s too much pain & trauma as it is.

Financial barriers shouldn’t be the worst of this.

IVF is necessary healthcare. #ivf4all

[Laura Spencer MPP, ACC @laura4fertility]

It’s world fertility day.

48 million+ people worldwide struggle with infertility.

Approx 25% of the globe have had some kind of fertility struggle.

It’s even harder when that stat is you.

Xo!

NEW | Fertility doctors had a plan to offer IVF in N.L. They don't know why it was ignored

Is Halloween a triggering time for you, seeing babies in costumes and spooky-themed birth announcements?

🧡💚 to you, if so.

"Wellon and others say the already difficult process of dealing with infertility is made harder and more expensive by the shortage of fertility treatment available in Atlantic Canada."

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

Not something we see all the time in Newfoundland and Labrador… pyrocumulous clouds! Essentially those clouds form due to the heat of the wildfire and are extremely tall relative to the clouds around them due to the fire creating local instability. #NLwx

[Fertility Action @FertilityNUK]

Happy 44th Birthday to @LouiseJoyBrown the world's first #IVF baby, born in Oldham, England on 25 July 1978. It is a day to celebrate the joy #fertility treatment has brought but also to remember the too many people whom IVF hasn't been able to help.

As well as praising fertility warriors for being resilient (we are! 💪🏼)

we need more integrated financial and emotional supports so that our fight is focussed on trying to bring home a baby 💪🏽

& not against the system that’s working against us.💪🏾

@laura4fertility Just adopt or foster

[Laura Spencer MPP, ACC @laura4fertility]

Thinking of my American sisters doing IVF or have embryos stored, and who will have a miscarriage that requires medical or surgical treatment, or an ectopic pregnancy…in the ‘wrong’ state.

All the feels this morning - not the good ones. https://t.co/BWErkvurEU

@FureyAndrew @Gerry_Byrne Yet you denied us Newfoundlanders and Labradorians access to our own IVF clinic, 1 in 6 couples are effected by infertility. That also would INCLUDE the newcomers to NL. @faces_fertility #accesstoivf #1in6

@ivf_warrior Adoption isnt easy as everyone thinks it is, I had family members who have adopted and took them years to get my beautiful cousin. Newfoundland wait time for a newborn to 24 month old is 8 years, PEI 8, Quebec 10. Plus lawyers, home visits, social workers.

[Laura Spencer MPP, ACC @laura4fertility]

Thinking of all who have a heavy heart today, from trying or having tried to get and stay pregnant and be part of the Mother Club.

I know it well.

May you mother yourself today more than ever.

@FureyAndrew @CMHA_NTL You will recognize everything else, but not ONE word on Canadian Infertility Awareness Week that was LAST week!!!!! 😡😡😡, the mental health of a person struggling with Infertility!!!! @faces_fertility

We acknowledge that not all mothers will enjoy Mother's Day. It's a painful reminder of what they've lost, what they no longer have, or what hasn't come easily.

Once a mother, always a mother.
Loss doesn't change that. #ciaw #niaw #infertility
