The last 24 years have been a journey. Infertility changed me in ways I never imagined. I look at myself and the world through a different lens now. In my early 20’s, I was embarking on my career path and looking for my purpose in life. I never expected to be diagnosed with endometriosis. After having my first laparoscopy and hearing a doctor say I should consider a hysterectomy, my world was turned upside down.

RESOLVE's Chief Engagement Officer, Betsy Campbell, shares with Allure Magazine , “Although infertility impacts one in six people, there’s still a stigma, and people don’t always talk about it. But more than ever, we need the infertility community to educate their state lawmakers about the challenges they face,” Campbell continues. “The Alabama decision showed a lack of knowledge about reproduction, which is really concerning.” https://lnkd.in/euaqpRgZ

📣Act Now Ask your U.S. Representative to cosponsor the HOPE with Fertility Services Act, HR 8821. Here's why... The bill would require private health insurance, offered by employers to their employees, to cover IVF and IUI as well as fertility preservation services for men and women who face medically induced infertility from treatments like chemotherapy. As well as, insurance plans provided by larger companies, referred to as self-insured plans, are not covered by any state mandate. We need Members of Congress to co-sponsor HR 8821 How?
