Faces Of Fertility

Advocate for the lack of access to fertility services in Newfoundland and Labrador.

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

Hey @theJagmeetSingh , if you're still in St. John's I would love to meet and speak about the inequality of fertility treatment access/affordability across the country, especially within Newfoundland and Labrador.

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

Yet another way the government is showing that they don't value the mental health of fertility patients. Some people have not told anyone about having to do IVF, and now it is out there without their concent. This is not okay. They need to do better.

which one's only chance for a child are fertility treatments that they can't afford or who has been on an adoption wait list for way too many years.

Think before you post tomorrow.
Pregnancy is NOT an April fools joke. 2/2

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

Pregnancy is not an April fools joke.

It's not funny.
It's insensitive and cruel and can ruin someone's day.

You might not know which of your friends is mourning the loss of their pregnancy, which one has been crying every month when their period shows up, 1/2

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. 💪

"To promise an IVF clinic in our province — a promise that means so much to so many people — and to not move on that promise, which is basically moving away from that promise?" he said. "I mean, it's unconscionable."

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

"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."

@aaronhoyland My girl is 11 months and I still cry at the littlest mundane things because I honestly thought for years that I wouldn't get to experience being a Mom.

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

@asprzybysz @kerriclaireneil We have doctors here who are skilled and trained in IVF without a facility to practice in.
Allowing them to use skills they spent years learning would be ensuring they stay.
It's fine to try and get new ones with money but keeping the amazing ones we have is also necessary.

@daroberts709 This is honestly terrifying for the women of the US, and around the world.

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

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

Today is Bereaved Mother's Day.

If you didn't know this day existed, you might be one of the lucky ones. If you did know this day existed, please know that you're not alone.

Today is the day we honor all of the Mothers who have heavy hearts.

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

❤️We honor those still waiting.
❤️We honor those who have had failed treatments.
❤️We honor those who have lost embryos
❤️We honor those who have had a pregnancy end too soon
❤️We honor those who have suffered a stillbirth
❤️We honor those who have lost their babies and children

More companies need to be like this.
Huge thanks to @EASTCOASTLIFEST for this incredibly kind gesture. #Infertilityawarenessweek #ciaw #NIAW2022

[Danielle Surette @dartmouthdandan]

@EASTCOASTLIFEST this is the most aware loving email I’ve ever received from a retailer. Mother’s Day isn’t a day of celebration for everyone, myself included. Thank-you for your thoughtfulness.

@jphillyard She said PCR but someone reached out to her, so she can travel now.

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

There's a woman in St.John's area who needs a covid test to travel to the US for IVF.
She is leaving tomorrow morning and needs it TODAY.

She only has to travel because we still have no clinic in province.

Does anyone know somewhere/someone who can prove a covid test today?

[Faces Of Fertility @faces_fertility]

@ChristineSA822 I "relaxed and stopped trying" for over a year between treatments. Didn't get pregnant in that year. Guess I did it wrong.🤷🏻‍♀️

Despite a subsidy announced on Wednesday which aims to make it more accessible, “it’s definitely still out of reach for so many families,” @faces_fertility told @juanitamercer_
