This week is National Infertility Awareness Week and Attain Fertility has teamed up with our friends at RESOLVE to bust some infertility myths. This week is all about educating people about the disease that is infertility and we hope that you’ll join us for some exciting events.
Take our Myth Busting Quiz
First up is a fun way to test your fertility knowledge. Take the AF Myth Busting Quiz and then pass it on to your friends and family on Facebook to see how much they know. We’ll be giving away a copy of “Taking Charge of Your Fertility”, my personal bible for knowing your and charting your fertility signs.
Change your Facebook status
You know all those insensitive comments we infertiles get? Like “When are you going to have a baby already?” and “Why don’t you just adopt?” and “Atleast a miscarriage isn’t a real baby”? Well, maybe we can change that for at least a few people. You may have seen this message around Facebook already:
***Change your status***
Infertility is a heart-wrenching, faith-questioning, relationship-testing, life-altering experience. April 24th begins National Infertility Awareness Week. Whether you, a friend, a family member, or a colleague has fought this difficult disease MILLIONS men and women face, post this as your status if you or someone you know has walked to hell and back for the chance to be a MOM or DAD!
We hope you’ll join in and help to inform your friends and family about infertility.
Add a Twibbon to Facebook or Twitter
RESOLVE: The National Infertility Organization has another great way to show your support and inform people about infertility. You can add RESOLVE’s logo to your Facebook profile photo or Twitter icon to show your support. Visit RESOLVE’s Twibbon page for more information. And be sure to follow @AttainFertility and @ResolveOrg for all the latest happenings this week.
