We love these beautiful words from @wordsbyabbie b We love these beautiful words from @wordsbyabbie because they resonate. Until we find the right support, in whatever form that is for us, it can feel like this is happening. The thought that we need to protect ourselves or others from the burden of our pain, that no one will get it or that we might be dismissed and unable to be ourselves. The relief we feel when we realise that's not the case because we have found that support is beyond words. You are not alone 💜 #mrkh #warrior #infertility #journey #support #peersupport #mentalhealth #health #womenshealth #mrkhawareness #mrkheducation #mrkhempowerment

✨️ NEW BLOG ✨️ We all know doctors' appoi ✨️ NEW BLOG ✨️ We all know doctors' appointments can be hard, and having to explain again and again what MRKH is is upsetting for many of us. But there are different ways we can approach this, and we asked the lovely Emma-Mai if she would share her approach, which is such an empowering way to approach what can be a super stressful situation. We are our biggest advocates at the end of the day, and being prepared ensures we get the most out of the support we need from our doctors and specialists. We also know how much we wish for better knowledge from doctors on MRKH, but this is also hard and not as easily achievable as we all would wish. Whilst things are perhaps improving in some areas, experiences vary drastically, so there is still a long long way to go. In the meantime, becoming the "mighty warrior that just slayed her first dragon" is an excellent way to start. Thank you, Emma-Mai, 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.

Think of shame, like the neglected kid in the scho Think of shame, like the neglected kid in the schoolyard, wanting to be accepted. Only, they can’t. They’ve ridiculed, bullied, isolated, and hurt so many of their peers - when powerful, which they are no longer — find themselves desperate to rekindle, reunite, and say “sorry” to those they’ve hurt. Shame, like a wave, has a life-span: fast and strong, or, subtle and slow. The thing about shame is, MRKH isn’t the wave, it’s the force around us. It’s not part of us, but it works with us. We can find our way to ride the wave without crashing, or move above it until it becomes nothing than a mere drip. Let’s ride the wave: not weakened by it, scared of it, uncertain of its outcome. Shame relies on how we move the surfboard - so our advice - surf like MRKH is under your control and not the other way around. Because the truth is, you’ll make your way back to shore. 💜 #wellness #mindful #support #journey #peersupport #infertility #mrkhsyndrome #mrkheducation #mrkhwarrior #mrkhempowerment #health #mrkh #inspiration #friendship #community #rokitanskysyndrome #hope #infertilitywarrior #mrkheducation #strongertogether
“One of the most important turning points in my “One of the most important turning points in my journey was discovering MRKH Connect, a UK based charity that offers support, advocacy, and community for people living with MRKH. MRKH Connect has become a lifeline for many of us — providing not just medical information, but emotional safety, lived experience, and the message we all need to hear: You are not alone. Whether you’re navigating early diagnosis or supporting a child or partner with MRKH, this space reminds us that our stories matter — and that solidarity can be healing.” - MRKH Connect community member We’re in this together. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, adjusting to MRKH later in life, navigating how to support a person with MRKH, or you simply need to observe the path to healing and acceptance, MRKH Connect is here. 💜 #wellness #mindful #support #journey #peersupport #infertility #mrkhsyndrome #mrkheducation #mrkhwarrior #mrkhempowerment #health #mrkh #inspiration #friendship #community #rokitanskysyndrome #hope #infertilitywarrior #mrkheducation #strongertogether
The weight of shame, expectations, social norms an The weight of shame, expectations, social norms and … well, so much, can fast become so heavy and exhausting.

We started Connect with Friends in 2020 when we we We started Connect with Friends in 2020 when we were all rallying for any form of connection during the pandemic. 5 years later, we still run it every 6 weeks as a way to connect across the world. It's a space created where there is no pressure to chat or share. A space to come for comfort, reassurance or simply just to listen. Whilst we might all sometimes need a little prompt to get started, sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, but mostly we feel the warm hug of making connection with people who truly get it. Peer support is so powerful, and it's a pleasure to be part of it and still hold this space. Whether you are a regular or come when you can or have never been before, all are welcome. Join us in November for the next one! ~Charlie 💜 #mrkh #peersupport #warrior #mrkhwarrior #infertility #community #journey #mentalhealth #mrkhempowerment #mrkheducation #support #connectwithfriends
