I am 1 in 6. My husband and I have been trying to start our family for 16 years now. We are having a difficult enough time trying to save up the money for injectables combined with IUI, there is no way we will be able to afford IFV if my IUI’s fail. This NEEDS to be publicly funded. It is a medical condition, we did not choose to be infertile and not many people can afford the thousands of dollars needed for treatment. I don’t think I can bare to be childless for the rest of my life. I hope some day (SOON!) it will be funded!

Someone shouldn’t have to pay thousands of dollars to get pregnant. That money is need to pay for things AFTER they get pregnant!

Wonderful to spread the message
