Canadian Infertility Awareness Week #creatingfamilies

style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One in six. Staggering really. One in six couples in Canada struggle with infertility. Until this past year,  when we took to social media in droves and started sharing our stories, few were even talking about infertility in our great country. Progress comes fast sometimes courtesy of twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and various other social media tools. Now, we are talking and tweeting and sharing stories. We are building awareness and education. So this year during Canadian Infertility Awareness Week May 19 to 26th we are encouraging people to build our messages. Make a difference. Blog for social good and help shed light on infertility as the complex health issue it is for so many. If you have a blog and you have experience with infertility, please share this post and/ or write your own. 
The Infertility Awareness Association of Canada wants everyone impacted by infertility to share a tweet, a Facebook status or a blog post. Let’s change the face of infertility and move from the shadows to the foreground.
