HB 328 is moving forward. If passed, HB 328 would include infertility treatment services as an Essential Health Benefit (EHB) in Virginia’s benchmark plan starting in 2029.
Essential Health Benefits are critical services that certain health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act must cover. Including infertility treatment services as Essential Health Benefits would provide thousands of Virginians with the chance to build their families.

If you could say one thing to someone just starting this journey, what would it be?

Share below… Your words might help someone feel a little less alone.

A big THANK YOU to our Hope Partner @ccrmfertility for investing in and supporting RESOLVE’s mission and programs. This partnership is what helps keep our community #RESOLVEStrong 🧡

Grief doesn’t follow calendars. It doesn’t reset with a new year, a new month, or a fresh start.

If you’re carrying grief, whether from infertility, loss, or another part of your journey, there’s no timeline you’re behind on. What you’re feeling is valid, exactly as it is.

You don’t have to hold it alone. RESOLVE offers support groups led by people who truly understand these experiences. Find a group that’s right for you at resolve.org.

One of the most common misunderstandings we hear is that medical necessity automatically means insurance coverage. In reality, fertility coverage is determined by insurance policies, not diagnoses, recommendations, or need alone.

That’s why two people with the same medical situation can have completely different coverage outcomes.

Understanding how coverage works can help people plan more realistically, advocate more effectively, and feel less blame or confusion when coverage is denied.

You’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone. Education is a powerful first step. Learn more through the link in our bio @resolveorg

Families built through IVF, donor conception, and surrogacy deserve legal clarity.

Nebraska’s LB1148 brings that clarity. It updates outdated laws and ensures every family is seen and protected, specifically for families using IVF, surrogacy, or donor conception. The hearing is this Friday. Lawmakers need to hear from you now.

If you are a Nebraska resident, ACT NOW.

Here is how you can help:

✔ Submit your testimony online by 8:00 AM CT on January 30
✔ Email members of the Judiciary Committee using our fast action tool
✔ Share, reshare, and repost.

Let’s show up for families and make sure everyone has the right to build theirs. Tag someone in Nebraska who needs to see this. Take action now through the 🔗 in our bio.

It’s time to get pumped.

Walk for healing, connection, and everything in between. A RESOLVE Walk of Hope lets you create something meaningful on your own terms, walking, gathering, or honoring your journey in a way that feels right to you. It’s about connection, purpose, and moving forward together.

You set the vibe. We’ve got the toolkit. Comment WALK and we’ll send it your way.

You don’t have to have the perfect words. You just have to show up. Support the next person who hears “infertility” and feels overwhelmed, heartbroken, or lost.

RESOLVE provides education, advocacy, and community so no one has to navigate this alone. Your donation helps keep that going.

Guys go through it too. The uncertainty. The waiting. The pressure. The silence. Infertility impacts men in many ways, physically, emotionally, mentally, and relationally. For some, it’s a diagnosis. For others, it’s supporting a partner while carrying their own grief, and stress.

If you’re feeling it, you’re not the only one. RESOLVE offers free support groups for men and partners navigating all parts of this journey.

Support is here when you’re ready.

Thank you for sharing this @sidneyhdavis

If advocacy feels intimidating, you’re not alone. And the good news? You’re already more capable than you think.

Advocacy doesn’t require visibility, perfection, or a public story. It just requires intention.

Every single individual can make a difference. Comment RAN, and we’ll send you the link to join the RESOLVE Advocacy Network today.

Over 800 people shared their voices. Now it’s time to bring it all together.

Starting Jan 1, 2026, SB 729 requires many large-group insurance plans to cover infertility diagnosis, IVF, and fertility preservation.

BIG NEWS FOR CALIFORNIA! As of January 1, 2026, a new California law (SB 729) requires many large-group health insurance plans to cover infertility diagnosis and treatment, including IVF and fertility preservation.

This is a huge win for access to care, but only if people know about it. That’s where you come in. Help spread the word by sharing this video, tagging friends in the comments, and more. And we urge you to visit the RESOLVE website for a more detailed breakdown of the California mandate.

Infertility looks different for literally everyone, your medical history, timing, access to care, the support system around you... it all plays a role. Which means there’s no “right” way to navigate this, and definitely no cookie-cutter solution that works for all of us.

You deserve care and support that actually gets your story, not comparisons to someone else’s journey, weird assumptions, or pressure to do things a certain way just because it worked for them.

Big win for fertility access in California! As of January 1, 2026, a new law (SB 729) requires many fully insured large-group health plans to cover infertility diagnosis and treatment, including IVF and fertility preservation.

IVF is once again under threat in South Carolina.

On January 14, lawmakers will hear a bill (H. 3537) that could legally define a fertilized egg as a person, putting fertility care and IVF at serious risk.

Last year, thousands of South Carolinians came together to stop a similar bill. Now, we need even more voices to keep IVF legal and accessible. H. 3537 could stop doctors from safely practicing IVF. It could take away the chance for thousands of families to grow.

“This was devotion in real time.

Every morning at the same hour.
Every injection given with love, patience, and faith.

Some days he rearranged his entire schedule just to be there for me and showed at my hospital shift.

And when the waiting stretched longer than expected, the weight of it all finally surfaced.

This part of the journey taught me that hope and exhaustion can exist at the same time.

Part 15… transfer day really does happen!”

Sometimes it can feel like you’re constantly educating everyone around you, but you don’t owe anyone an explanation. You DO deserve support, understanding, and accurate information.

New year, same mission, stronger than ever.
We’re stepping into 2026 with our sights set on access, awareness, and real support for everyone navigating the family building journey.

When you donate to RESOLVE, you’re fueling:
Free peer-led support groups
Educational tools that make the journey less confusing
Advocacy that protects access to care and pushes for progress
Awareness that breaks stigma and builds community.

Looking to kick off your year with purpose?
Tap above to give, and be part of what’s next.

Our year had some serious hits, and honestly, we think our playlist had more impact. Because of you, 2025 was packed with moments that pushed conversations forward, expanded access to care, and reminded people they’re not alone.

So, ready to do it again? The work isn’t done, and we need everyone back in the band. RESOLVE is already planning what’s next, and your voice will always be the hook we keep coming back to.

Join us for what’s next. Let’s make 2026 another hit.

Everyone processes triggering moments differently. For some, the best way to support a friend is to text and give them a warning about a trigger you know will have a large affect on them. They want you to experience joy, they are so happy for you, but they’re also devastated for themselves. And they may need some space. And that’s perfectly okay.

Comment SUPPORT for some tips on how you can support someone who is living with infertility.

You helped us break through barriers, increase access, and offer support in 2025. And in 2026, there’s so much MORE to do.
Cue the clinking glasses and confetti. We did a lot together this year, and we’re just getting started. The momentum is real, and the work ahead matters.
Happy New Year from RESOLVE. Let’s keep building community, showing up for one another, and pushing for better access to care. Together, we’ve got this.

“Writing this was so cathartic.”

Real talk: There’s a lot of misinformation out there. That’s why we’re so honored to be named a Top 10 Fertility Resource of 2025 by @everydayhealth.
We’re in it with you. Check out the link in our bio @resolveorg for the full list and article.

It all starts with small steps, literally.

Supporting someone doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes the most meaningful gestures are the quietest, showing up without fixing, asking how someone really feels, or just saying “I’m here.” Little things go a long way.

Last week, when IVF coverage for military families was left out of the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), RESOLVE and our advocacy partners sent out a call to action to let Speaker Johnson understand the impact this would have. We have an update: your voices were heard.

In response to this devastating blow for our military families, Rep. Sara Jacobs and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, joined by bipartisan partners Rep. Jennifer Kiggans and Rep. Nick LaLota have introduced a new bill with the same IVF language that was in the NDAA.

We’re grateful for their leadership and for every advocate who answered our call to action. This fight for our military families is not over. No service member should have to choose between serving their country and building their family.

RESOLVE will keep pushing until military families have the care they need and deserve.

If you are a constituent of :

@RepSaraJacobs
@RepChrissyHoulahan
@RepJenKiggans
@RepLaLota

Please help us thank them for this opportunity to bring access to our military families via the Action Alert in our Linktree bio.

Tap to pause and pick a boundary! The holidays can bring a lot of emotions, and a lot of comments.

That’s where this wheel comes in, your reminder that you’ve got options.

You don’t have to explain.
You don’t have to stay.
You don’t have to answer.

You don’t owe anyone your story. Protect your peace. Choose what feels right for you.

Infertility research = real progress.

RESOLVE supports scientific and clinical studies that advance knowledge, understanding, and well-being for people navigating infertility and family building challenges. Did you know we have a whole section on our website about open infertility research studies? Link in bio or visit resolve.org to learn more.

Please note: We list research studies open to individuals as an educational and information service only. The posting of research studies on this website is not an endorsement or recommendation of such studies.

Boundaries are not rude.
They’re how we survive hard seasons.
If you checked even one square today, that counts.
If you’re still learning how, that counts too.
You don’t need permission to protect your peace.

Thank you for sharing this @journeytomomhood2025 - it is so true, and RESOLVE is here no matter where you are on your journey.

“Oof, this one hits hard. My husband and I recently discussed whether we should pursue IVF, and the answer was YES! But then I think about the financial strain and the toll it could take on my body. Should we skip IUI and go straight to IVF? Is it even worth trying another round of IUI? We’ve been on a break from fertility meds for the last two months, and it’s been so freeing, but there are days when I feel like I’m missing out. The grief hits harder than ever, and it’s frustrating and overwhelming.”

When public figures (and anyone!) speak openly about infertility and IVF, it chips away at stigma and makes someone out there feel a little less alone. Thank you, Abby Elliott, for sharing your story in Parents Magazine, and thank you to everyone who bravely opens up about their own journey. Your honesty matters more than you know.

At RESOLVE, we see the impact of that openness every day. 81% of people who join our support groups feel better equipped to handle family building challenges after just six sessions.

No one should navigate this alone, find a support group through the link in our bio.

There’s a societal expectation that infertility is “a woman’s issue”… but that just isn’t true. In fact, at least 30% of infertility cases are due to male factor.

If it’s been a year of trying with no answers, a simple sperm test can help you understand more, no pressure, no assumptions, just information that can make a difference.

The process can be low-key: a quick sample, a little privacy, and a clearer picture of what’s going on. Taking care of your health is always worth it. You’re not alone, and getting answers is a strong move forward.

The holidays can feel like a lot, and that’s okay. Plans shift, emotions hit, and some moments land heavier than expected.

Take what you need, leave the rest. And if you’re looking for support? We’re always here.

Comment HOLIDAYS below and we’ll direct you to resources, information, support, and more.

IVF coverage for military families was stripped from the defense bill, despite bipartisan support.

Military families experience higher rates of infertility, frequent moves, and deployments that make family building even harder. IVF and other fertility treatments should never be out of reach for those who serve (or anyone).

This is a setback, but not the end. RESOLVE is fighting back, and your support fuels our advocacy.

No one should have to fight twice to build a family. Tap the donate button to stand with us.

#KeepIVFinNDAA

Failing to include IVF coverage in the NDAA is a profound setback for the service members who sacrifice so much for our freedoms.

IVF coverage should never be optional.

Military families deserve access to essential medical care that helps them build their families. Despite bipartisan support and the clear calls to expand IVF access, this omission leaves military families without the care they urgently need.
You called Congressional leaders. You shared personal stories that deserved action. And while this decision is disappointing, this fight is not over.

RESOLVE will not stop advocating until every American has access to the family building care they deserve.

Stay active. Stay loud. Stand with us.
