1 in 6 women in Canada experience infertility and this is the story of Anna’s journey navigating the health system, IVF and relationships! She recognizes that the end outcome is not the same for everyone so please listen with care as this message is meant to be supportive to everyone who listens.

Anna Almojuela and her husband struggled with infertility from 2018 to 2022, with the darkest periods taking place during the pandemic. After dedicating 2022 to IVF, she is now facing new challenges as a first time mom, to her rainbow baby, Elyanna Amavi. Although the many years of struggles paid off for her family, she is very aware that a baby isn’t a guaranteed outcome for many others who face infertility.

In September of 2023, Anna began her fertility advocacy and created an Instagram page called @RainbowBabyEly as a safe platform to share their story, help educate and spread awareness.

Drawing from her own journey and experience, Anna strives to use her voice to combat stigma and provide comfort to those navigating similar challenges - aiming to foster a community where individuals feel supported, understood, and safe.

Thank you so much, Anna, for being so generous with your time and your story, in an effort to share your advocacy so that women and families no longer feel alone in their journey.
