Military Family Building Coalition

Did you know infertility rates differ between military branches? The Army has the highest, with 101.7 diagnoses per 10,000 people, while the Marine Corps has the lowest at 50.4 per 10,000. Whether the reason is stress, environmental factors, or something else, it's a reminder of just how important reproductive health and the support they need are to our service members. #militaryhealth #infertilityawareness

This Thanksgiving, we're filled with gratitude for the incredible community that helps us support military families in building the families they dream of. 💛 At the Military Family Building Coalition, we provide resources, education, and advocacy to help service members overcome challenges like infertility, deployment, and financial barriers to starting or growing their families. Thank you to our brave service members, their resilient families, and the donors, partners, and advocates who make this mission possible. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at MFBC! #thanksgiving #militaryfamilies #familybuilding #gratitude #thankful

Military life brings unique challenges, and one of the lesser-discussed impacts is how stress and trauma can affect fertility. The demands, deployments, and combat-related experiences of our service members can take a toll on both physical and emotional well-being, leading to fertility issues for many service members. 💔 #militaryinfertility #infertilityawareness #militarysupport #healthandwellbeing #stressandtrauma #familyplanning

We're regularly talking about the gaps in infertility coverage for our servicemen and women, but what IS currently covered by TRICARE? This resource does a great job of showing what coverage may be available to you and your family through military insurance. Take a look here. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ed52RQXy #militaryIVF #familybuilding #militaryfamilysupport #IVFawareness #militarylife #militaryfamily #militarymedical #militaryfamilylife #militaryinfertility

For couples trying to conceive a child naturally, physical separation is the worst-case scenario. This is the reality for our nation's military service members and unfortunately, there are very few widely accessible resources and support to empower their family building journeys through TRICARE and military organizations. While there are very specific circumstances where TRICARE will step in, most families are left with a massive financial burden to pursue family building through IVF, IUI, and other fertility assistance. We believe that our servicemen and women and their families deserve better. Do you agree? We'd be honored to have you follow along with us as we fight for policy change and better support for those who give their lives to serve our country.
