The ‘RIGHT TO IVF ACT’ did NOT PASS today, June 13, 2024, in the US Senate. Never did I think we’d be here. We all should be protected in our human right to build a family with the assistance of medical intervention, affordable care, and necessary treatment. In the words of Sojourner TRUTH, we have the power to turn our world right side up again. Protect women’s rights… protect reproductive rights… protect human rights. #ivf #infertility #infertilitysupport #humanrights Photo by @damu_malik_photo Hand Model @joeldamanysteingold
Psalm 37:4 HE will give you the desires of your heart. 🙏🏽 People constantly ask me, “Why don’t you start your family on your own?” My answer… “No.” Plain and simple. Here’s why… 1. That’s not what God said to me. 2. See answer 1. My take away lesson… I’m the biggest cheerleader for single parents by choice and often wish I had the courage to do it. Nevertheless, I don’t. I KNOW MYSELF. I’ve spent years of therapy learning all about me. So I know when something is my calling and when it is not. You have to know WHO YOU ARE and what’s right for you as you walk life’s pathway. Unfortunately that doesn’t always line up with your timeline or what society defines for you. At the end of my journey it won’t matter WHAT my present circumstance looks like to others. Their opinions will not decide my fate. What WILL matter is whether or not I followed the voice inside my heart… the SAME voice that told me to freeze my eggs. My voice says, 🗣️”Don’t look at my circumstances! Look at MY God!” Whew!! Now, ain’t she a fierce fighter voice within!! ❤️🙌🏾 I faithfully obey her because I submit to a POWER FAR GREATER than me. So no matter what my circumstances look like now I have faith that all will be ok. My regrets will be my own. My victories will be my own. And my journey, though I openly share, is still… my own. 📸 @damu_malik_photo #fertilityjourney #fertility #infertility #infertilityjourney #eggfreezingjourney #eggfreezing #journeytoparenthood #womenshealth #ivf #ivfjourney
And your PRECIOUS LIVES are God’s best work! I’m praying for you to survive… 🖤🙏🏽 💔

The greatest lesson Mama Stew ever taught me was, “Don’t wait for life to be perfect to go after what you want.” She made it clear that life will never be perfect, but because I’m incredibly stubborn, it has taken me many decades to get off her lap to do it! On this day, I honor the LEGEND that is my untouchable MOTHER! She is my rock, my best friend, my greatest supporter, and the sole inspiration for absolutely everything I am and everything I do!! Thank you mommy for your endless love and dedication. Thank you for raising me with an honest tongue and a nonjudgmental heart. Thank you for believing in me and in everyone lucky enough to encounter your awesome spirit! You are the greatest GIFT I’ll ever receive and I’m honored to be forever yours! Happy Mother’s Day Mommy!!! 💕💕💕💕 I love you more… #happymothersday
PROTECT IVF!!! Today marks another day in #reproductiverights history where Senate Democrats are bringing the Right To IVF Act to a vote, protecting the right to receive, provide, and cover access in-vitro fertilization. The hard right is challenging our rights to contraception and our right to use medical assistance to build our families, preserve our fertility for personal and/or medical reasons, and our overall fundamental freedoms to make decisions regarding our OWN BODIES. The Senate MUST PASS this bill and we must continue to VOTE for our own self interests. As someone who has gone through #ivf and has advocated for the miracles that our fertility specialists and infertility organizations have provided and protected for decades, it’s imperative that I urge you to stay informed and VOTE in our upcoming elections!! Our bodies depend on it…
We’ll be popping bottles together FOREVER on my Bestie’s BIRTHDAY! Cheers to another year Sharon Newport!! May IMMEDIATE blessings come right darn now!!! Get ready for a great new year friend! You are loved in abundance and I’m so very honored to call you MY BESTIE…with my territorial ass!!😜😍💃🏽🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️

😂🍆 I SAID WHAT I SAID!! 🍆😂 We had a laugh, cause that’s what we do😜, but I said what I said. PAINFUL (different from uncomfortable) intercourse can be a sign of an underlying condition such as adenomyosis, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, trauma, rough sex (no no), negative feelings about a partner and more! If you experience this and have concerns please see a doctor. Thank you to @kymwhitley @sherrieshepherd and @twofunnymamas for having me during #fibroidsawareness month!! Repost @twofunnymamas
🗣️PENCILS DOWN‼️ I’m a proud member of the #WGA and we deserve a fair contract. This is about minimum compensation and increased residuals, abuse of mini-rooms, protection of writing credits, regulating artificial intelligence, pay equity and so much more. My pencils are down and my sneakers are on as we walk in solidarity for the change we deserve. #wgastrong
SINGLE MOM BY CHOICE LIVE! “My ovaries were like a third wheel on a date!” – Lydia When I tell y’all you MUST watch this INCREDIBLE LIVE with #singlemombychoice @lydia_and_laydi !!! This is my first conversation with a single parent by choice and it is absolutely AMAZING! From telling us how freezing her eggs was a form of self care, to dating WHILE on her journey to parenthood, Lydia normalizes owning her choice of “wanting to become a mother at a time when she happened to be single.” It’s just as simple and amazing as that!! Two rounds of IUI and one round of #ivf made Lydia the mother of sweet LAYDI! Lydia shares her journey online from beginning to now, so make sure you follow and get all the inspiration she so beautifully deposits into the fertility community!! Thanks for coming and using your voice @lydia_and_laydi!! YOU truly are a gem! #fertility #ivfjourney #iui #ivfsuccess #ivfcommunity #ivfwarrior #infertility #womensupportingwomen #baby #babygirl
