Follow the link in our bio! Wherever your journey takes you, sending lots of love 💜 @adopttogether @you.can.adopt @adoption.uk #mrkh #warrior #adoption #journey #infertility #community #peersupport #support #mrkheducation #mrkhempowerment #raisingawareness #journey #courage #hope
✨️ Every Person ✨️ Every person should ha ✨️ Every Person ✨️ Every person should have access to accurate up to date and informative sex education that reflects the variability of our development because its not black and white and its ok there are variations, what is not ok is that we are not prepared at all for them when they happen. It is therefore essential if we want people to be fully informed about their future choices and decisions. Charlie spoke to @fertilityalliance a few months ago, and this topic came up, and it's so important we do more to address this. This is a high priority for us and something we at Connect are working towards through our collaborative work. Thank you for sharing this important clip during Fertility Week! #nfaw #infertility #mrkh #journey #diagnosis #mentalhealth #mrkhempowerment ##mrkheducation === Repost from @fertilityalliance The brilliant Director of @mrkhconnect Charlie Bishop @thischarliecan spoke to us about how limited school education about all aspects of fertility can be - and how difficult that makes it when things don't go as expected. Thanks to Charlie and the team at @mrkhconnect for supporting the aims of European Fertility Week to improve education and information! #fertilityalliance #efw #efw2025 #efw2025factsforward #fertilityeducation #periods #whatsnormal #fertilityfacts #factsforward #fertilitycharity #europeanfertilityweek #fertility #infertility
✨️ Every Community ✨️ Our mission is conn ✨️ Every Community ✨️ Our mission is connection. We love our community and see the value and importance of peer connection for all facing an MRKH diagnosis. Every 6 weeks we run our "virtual hug" community event - Connect with Friends. Join us for our next one Sunday 16th November at 7pm GMT (UK time). This is an online peer support series designed to be relaxed and informal with the chance to chat and share, or just listen, with friends old and new💛 This is a safe space with no pressure to talk just an informal peer led event and a chance to chat with others. As with all our Connect with Friends this is only for those with MRKH and all MRKHers over 16 are welcome regardless of where you are in your journey. We hope to see you there 🤍 Follow the link in our bio to events to register or find our more about MRKH and our amazing community by following the link to our webpage www.mrkhconnect.org. #connectwithfriends #EveryCommunity #NFAW #nationalfertilityawarenessweek #mrkhawareness #hope #mentalhealth #wellbeing #wellness #mindful #support #peersupport #infertility #mrkhsyndrome #mrkheducation #mrkhwarrior #mrkhempowerment #health #mrkh #inspiration #friendship #community #rokitanskysyndrome #hope #infertilitywarrior #mrkheducation #strongertogether
✨️ Every Workplace ✨️ Who has had to cons ✨️ Every Workplace ✨️ Who has had to consider or attempted to speak to an employer about time off for fertility appointments, treatments, procedures etc? How did it go? Chances are it wasn't an easy discussion, and for many people, it's not a conversation they feel comfortable to have, or when they do, they are completely unsupported and there is no infrastructure in place to support. On the flip side, maybe your experience has been great. We'd love to hear both sides! It comes down to the fact that it matters to be seen and understood and to have support during what can be a lengthy process. It matters that there are processes in place for anyone faced with a fertility journey. Things are perhaps changing (we hope so!), and the @fertilitymattersatwork team, for example, is working tirelessly on campaigns addressing this in the UK. But how do we address this globally and take into account the many different factors and nuances, including culture and geography etc, that can be factors in that discussion? No one should feel unsupported or forced to take holiday or leave a role because of insufficient understanding, education, and support from an employer. We all have work to do in this space 💜 #nfaw #everyworkplace #nationalfertilityawarenessweek #mrkh #awareness #infertility #mrkhwarrior #mentalhealth #journey #wellbeing #fertility #mrkhempowerment #mrkheducation
✨️ Every Voice Matters ✨️ It's so powerfu ✨️ Every Voice Matters ✨️ It's so powerful to hear personal stories that we can not only relate to but that can also provide comfort and support. For some of us being silent is how we have learnt to "be" with our diagnosis. Whether those reasons are because of personal, cultural circumstance or aomething else. It is true that advocacy doesn't have to be public but finding a way to communicate, to access support and know you are not alone is powerful and often vital for our path to acceptance. This blog is so powerful especially under the theme of Fertility Awareness Week #every voice #everyjourney. Thank you, Dewi Amalia for this fantastic blog 💜 ---- If you have a story to share we would love to work with you to help you share in the way most comfortable to you. Pieces can be one off, anonymous and in any form of media. We have an open submission for blogs.

Today is World Fertility Day! A day dedicated to Today is World Fertility Day! A day dedicated to raising awareness of all things fertility including to inform, educate to supporting anyone affected by or struggling with fertility. Fertility issues can affect anyone wherever they are in the world. It knows no borders and that is why it is a global challenge especially where access, and rights to access, can vary dramatically. Even here in the UK. So today we recognise all affected by fertility and stand with our fellow organisations who, like us, are trying to make positive changes for all 🧡 #worldfertilityday #fertilityrightsmatter #infertility #raiseawareness #mrkh #warrior #support #community #strongertogether #peersupport #health #mentalhealth
When life throws curve balls, it's not easy. In f When life throws curve balls, it's not easy. In fact, it can be life changing. But life does still continue, it doesn't stop, and we have to gind a way to move and live and grow around those obstacles in the best way we can. A diagnosis doesn't define us, it will simply always be a part. Maybe we have to forge a path away from our original plan. But what if that was simply taking us where we were always meant to be? 💜 🎨@powerofpositivity #mrkh #journey #mrkhawareness #mrkhempowerment #mrkheducation #mentalhealth #support #peersupport #community #infertility #diagnosis #courage
