Brooke Shields’ Daughter Rowan Says She 'Wouldn’t Be Here Without IVF': ‘I Was Frozen for 2 Years’ (Exclusive) In this week's issue of PEOPLE magazine, Brooke Shields' daughter Rowan says she "wouldn't be here without IVF."

Did you know that the first successful uterus transplant was performed in 2011? The info in this article is fascinating!

More than 70 babies have been born from uterus transplants: 'It's a complete new world' A new study found that 14 of 20 women had successful uterus transplants, and all 14 went on to have at least one baby.

There's a knowledge gap about miscarriages in the U.S., and researchers hope to close it Miscarriage's prevalence, causes, and how best to treat people who’ve experienced it are being addressed by researchers, but data quality remains poor.

Thinking of those who have faced pregnancy loss.

“Pregnancy loss is brutal because it’s so much more than just one thing. It’s the extinguishing of the future your mind begins to chart. It’s the physical pain and trauma that your body undergoes to get back to “normal.” It’s the despair of not knowing if you could have done something differently or, maybe worse, if there’s nothing you can control about it at all. And then there’s the road ahead in wondering if the next time will be different.”

To the mama experiencing pregnancy loss—give yourself space to grieve Don’t treat recovery as a weigh station on the way to happiness, but instead as a critical component to dealing with what you’ve just been through.

“IVF made motherhood possible for these Minnesotans. They want to protect it for others.”

Abortion bans made Minnesota a health care island. Could the same happen with IVF? Though the procedures are different, patients and advocates worry new restrictions could emerge.

Great resource for the infertility community 🧡

For Friends and Family | RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association Although infertility is widely acknowledged as a crisis for individuals and couples, it is less recognized as a trauma that impacts their families.

The founders of Giving Grace Foundation and Grace, our little one that the charity is named after is sporting orange today for National Infertility Awareness Week. Wishing many prayers for those struggling with infertility.

Remember to wear orange this week!

Why is orange the color for infertility awareness?

Since 1989, the color orange has been used to promote infertility awareness. Orange promotes a sense of wellness, emotional energy to be shared, compassion, passion, and warmth. Helps to recover from disappointments, a wounded heart, or a blow to one’s pride. Studies show that orange can create a heightened sense of activity, increased socialization, boost in aspiration, contentment, assurance, confidence and understanding.

The landscape around infertility is changing!

“Approximately half of those who need IVF do not receive it due to lack of insurance coverage, resulting in racial and ethnic access disparities," said Dr. April Batcheller, a fertility specialist at CCRM in Edina.

IVF, abortion and trans care coverage mandates considered by MN lawmakers In vitro fertilization (IVF), abortion, and gender-affirming care are all on track to be mandatory in Minnesota health insurance coverage.

Infertility may or may not involve pregnancy loss. Every story is different. For those women and couples pursuing fertility treatment after a loss, know that Giving Grace Foundation supports you and has hope for your journey.
