April is a powerful month in the fertility community, and we are honored to be part of the conversation surrounding National Infertility Awareness Week, taking place April 19 to April 25, 2026.

Led by RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, this week is dedicated to advocacy, education, and connection. It is a time to bring visibility to the one in six individuals and couples navigating infertility, while honoring that every journey looks different.

This year’s theme, More Than, reminds us that infertility cannot be defined by a single story. It is more than statistics, more than assumptions, and more than a one size fits all experience. It is a deeply personal journey shaped by diverse identities, cultures, and paths to parenthood.

Why This Week Matters

Infertility is more than a diagnosis or a moment in time. It is an experience that shapes lives, relationships, identity, and the way we see the future.

At its core, this week is about breaking the silence, reducing stigma, and creating space for real, honest conversations. It is about ensuring that every voice is heard and every story matters.

NIAW brings together individuals, families, advocates, and providers to:

• Raise awareness and educate
• Advocate for access to care and coverage
• Build a supportive and inclusive community
• Empower people to share their stories

It is also a reminder of the incredible work RESOLVE continues to do, from grassroots advocacy to providing trusted resources and support for those navigating their family building journey.

Next Week with Us

During NIAW, we are coming together as a community to ask for more. More support. More awareness. More representation. More education. And more access to care.

Each day, we are sharing meaningful, real moments on the Create A Happy Family Podcast YouTube channel in collaboration with the NIAW 5 Day Challenge. These are not just clips. They are stories, truths, and reminders that no one is alone in this journey.

Monday: #MoreThanMyJourney

We close the week with a message that reflects who we are at our core.

We are more than an agency. We are advocates, cheerleaders, and educators. We are committed to continuing this work beyond the week by supporting, guiding, and helping create families with ethical and compassionate expertise while building a strong, connected community.

How You Can Be Part of It

Whether you are sharing your story, watching along, wearing orange, or simply learning more, you are part of this movement.

Here are a few meaningful ways to get involved:

• Share your story or uplift someone else’s
• Wear orange on Wednesday to spark conversations and awareness
• Educate yourself and others about infertility
• Support organizations like RESOLVE that are driving change
• Check in on someone who may be quietly struggling

Every action, big or small, helps shift the conversation and create a more compassionate and informed world.

Stay Tuned

We are excited to continue this conversation with you.

Last year, we had the privilege of sitting down with Rebecca Flick, Chief External Affairs Officer at RESOLVE, for a powerful podcast conversation. She shared her personal journey, the heart behind RESOLVE’s mission, and why advocacy matters now more than ever. This year, we are building on that conversation.

Stay tuned for:

• Daily mini moments from the Create a Happy Family Podcast
• Insights from intended parents on our social media and reflections from our team on social media
• Our upcoming podcast episode dropping Wednesday

If you have ever felt unseen in your journey, or if you are looking for a way to be part of something bigger, this week is for you.

Because this community is more than infertility. And together, we are changing the conversation.
