Getting involved in the 25th annual National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) is super easy! Every action, no matter how small, helps to elevate awareness about infertility and unites those facing similar struggles. This NIAW, why not take a pledge to contribute in some meaningful way?
Join the Advocacy Day
For several years now, our team and community members have teamed up with RESOLVE for Advocacy Day. This exciting event gathers people coping with infertility in Washington, D.C. to discuss vital issues with Congress members. It’s a fantastic chance for your voice to be heard! RESOLVE offers training and resources for participants to ensure a successful day of empowerment. Over 100 individuals have already signed up, so register today to join us on May 7th! It’s a great opportunity to meet others who are passionate about making a difference.
Write to Your Representative
Can’t make it to D.C.? No problem! It only takes about three letters to grab the attention of an average representative. Whether you have a few minutes or can dedicate more time, writing a letter is a powerful way to make your voice count. Personal stories about your journey with infertility can resonate deeply and help lawmakers understand the need for essential legislation, such as insurance coverage through state mandates. Last year, many community members sent letters that left a significant impact. You can easily find a template to get started!
Share Your Story
We love hearing patient stories because they inspire hope. This NIAW, share your experience and strength to uplift others who might be struggling. Your narrative could be the encouragement someone else needs.
Participate in RESOLVE’s Walk of Hope
Join us for the third annual Walk of Hope in Washington, D.C. on June 21! This one-mile event celebrates diverse family-building paths. The funds raised support local RESOLVE programs, including support groups and educational initiatives. It’s a perfect way to connect with others while making a difference!
Volunteer with RESOLVE
If you’re looking to extend your involvement beyond NIAW, consider volunteering with RESOLVE. There are various roles available, such as becoming a Peer-Led Support Group Leader or Advocate. There’s something for everyone!
Spread the Word on Social Media
Did you know that 1 in 8 women and their partners experience infertility? Help combat the feeling of isolation by sharing messages on Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms. Using the message “I am 1 in 8” can really help raise awareness.

Ferring is back with their “Heart to Heart” video contest. If you’ve used BRAVELLE®, MENOPUR®, or REPRONEX®, you might just win a $10,000 educational fund! Create a short video about your journey to parenthood and provide inspiration to others.
