MRKH Connect is a charity with a mission to connect those with MRKH all over the world. No one should feel alone, we are 1 in 5000 #mrkhempowerment ❤️

Each one of us can make a difference but together Each one of us can make a difference but together we make change.

As we approach the end of the year we stand by this statement and what it means. 

Whether you are public with your diagnosis or privately processing there is so much that we can do together to make a change for ourselves and for all with MRKH or battling fertility issues.

Here’s to the MRKH Community and a new year of opportunities 💜

This time of year can be a time for reflection as This time of year can be a time for reflection as much as it can be for joy and as much as it can also be the hardest time for others.

Take time to simply be amongst the chaos and spend time with people and doing things that bring you happiness...always

A message of hope from our Director Charlie 💜 "A A message of hope from our Director Charlie 💜 

"A conversation I recently had sparked this blog.  Something that we don't talk about enough.  How we process the grief of diagnosis. 

The idea, or fear, of being stuck with this feeling can be overwhelming and quite frankly debilitating at times.  But it does get better, it can feel easier. 

With time.

Thinking of everyone struggling and I want you to know, we as a community want you to know, that you are not alone."

This time of year can be overwhelming. It can fee This time of year can be overwhelming.  It can feel like there is a lot of pressure to feel a certain way, to be happy and present at a time that maybe we aren't feeling it. 

It's ok to feel like it's too much. 

Equally it's ok to find joy in other ways this Christmas and to not be afraid to say no to things we aren't ready for or that don't bring us comfort.

Maybe we prefer to curl up on Christmas day in pjs watching movies and building Lego or making time to journal or blog or perhaps its making memories with all our important people around us. 

It doesn't matter what it is or where we find it but finding that little bit of time for us in the often chaos of Christmas can be a welcome moment of peace whatever it is we choose to do with it 💜

On 6th December 22 MRKHers came together to meet, On 6th December 22 MRKHers came together to meet, chat and support each other. 

In doing so we also kept our hands busy with some creativity by making mood boards using pictures, magazine cuttings, text or photos etc we brought with us. 

It could be about our journey, looking ahead or anything we wanted.  It wasn't something most of us had ever done before but it was a great way to get together and do something different as we chatted. 

We love this example from Tracey who not only added some of her own photos to the board but we were also touched she added our logo too 💜

Thank you for letting us share it.

The hardest part of any journey is taking the firs The hardest part of any journey is taking the first step and being ok with the fact that not every step will always be forward.

But every step will be important. 

Every step will be something we learn from. 

The community is here in whatever way you need on your journey. 

You are not alone.

We know thinking about how MRKH makes you feel is We know thinking about how MRKH makes you feel is hard.  It's also a mix of emotions and depends where you are in your journey as well. 

We want to thank you to all who contributed to this discussion and shared your feelings with us🤗

We have collated the feedback across socials and made a word cloud highlighting how many times a word was raised - the larger the writing the more often that word came up. 

We also wanted to add that some used the opportunity for phrases rather than just simply words - "Never Give Up", "I have Answers" and "Just Another Challenge" were ones that specifically stuck out and that reflect not only the challenge but what feelings of empowerment MRKH has given that perhaps was unexpected.

You are not alone, whatever age or stage of your journey you are 💜
