  • About RESOLVE

SGF supports National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW): Shady Grove Fertility recognizes National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW) by hosting free, virtual fertility events from April 19 through April 25, 2026. NIAW is a yearly initiative founded by RESOLVE: The National Infertility and Family Building Association, to encourage people to act as their own infertility advocates and to educate legislators and the public about the impact of infertility within their community. SGF partners with RESOLVE to further its mission of broadening awareness of infertility and supporting those facing infertility with compassionate support and information.

#MoreThan 

Starting Monday, April 20, and ending on Friday, April 24, RESOLVE is challenging the community to share a different photo, story, or reel every day using the following daily prompts and hashtags.

Day 1: #MoreThanMyJourney

Infertility doesn’t look one way, and neither does the community it affects. Today is about honoring the whole person behind the diagnosis.

Share a post, photo, or reel that reflects your family building journey, whether you’re trying, taking a break, exploring options, living childfree not by choice, supporting a loved one, or just beginning to ask questions. Your story matters, exactly as it is.

Day 2: #MoreThanAlone

Support can look like a partner, a friend, a provider, an online community, or simply someone who listens without trying to fix things. And for some, support is still something they’re searching for.

Today, recognize the people, spaces, or moments that have helped you feel less alone. Tag them, thank them, or share what meaningful support looks like to you. 

Day 3: #WearOrange2026

Orange represents warmth, hope, and forward movement.  And today, it represents visibility. Wear orange in any way that feels right to you and share your photo or video to help spark conversations about infertility.

Day 4: #MoreThanBarriers

We are more than the barriers we face. We are more than what holds us back. We are fighters.

Today is about advocacy. Share how you’re taking action or what change you want to see, whether that’s equitable insurance coverage, inclusive care, workplace benefits, accurate education, or state/federal legislation to increase access to care.

Day 5: #MoreThan

More Than doesn’t end when #NIAW does. This community, our message, or fight is more than a week.  It’s a commitment to how we show up for ourselves, for others, and for this community, all year long. Share how you’ll continue living the More Than message beyond this week.
