Can you imagine having over 40 embryos transferred? OR flying to do daily blood testing and ultrasounds?

The woman you’re about to hear is one of the passionate fertility advocates I know. Experiencing 7 transfers & multiple IUI’s nearly 3 1/2 decades ago, while aLSP enduring treatment both in the U.S. and in the Philippines, Sue Johnston’s story is remarkable.

You’ll learn about the impact RESOLVE has had in her life, “RESOLVE was my lifeline.” Many of us can relate to how much fertility treatments can suck the life out of us.

I hope you’re inspired by Sue’s story. May we continue to navigate life’s detours while holding onto grief and joy at the same time.

Learn more about Sue below! Connect with her at the infertilityadvocate.com.

Sue’s Bio: My name is Sue Johnston and I met my husband, a U.S. Naval Officer in 1984. We were married on May 3,1986. My husband Bob and I struggled for nearly a decade to have our one and only child, who was born on May 1, 1994. The Navy didn't make infertility treatment any easier either. We moved 14 times in the first 12 years of our marriage and Bob was frequently deployed overseas... often for 6 months at a time. We even had a 2-1/2-year tour in the Philippines in the midst of our battle with infertility.

Although I didn't choose to have infertility, I eventually turned my pain into purpose after learning how to embrace my resolution. I am passionate about supporting RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association because the people I met through this organization were my lifeline when I was in the thick of my infertility battle. Since then, I have worn almost every “volunteer hat” for RESOLVE. I have been actively involved in RESOLVE’s FederalAdvocacy Day State for 10 years in many leadership roles. I am the co-Founder of the Detroit, MI Walk of Hope and have helped extend it to a statewide event. I lead local and national RESOLVE support groups both virtually and in person. In January of 2021, I started my Pregnancy and Parenting After Infertility Support Group (PAIGES). In 2022, I created a monthly PAIGES PLAYGROUP where moms and their miracle babies can get together to socialize with each other. One of my favorite past time activities is to create custom designed nursery paintings for all members of my general infertility support group who have made it to the other side of infertility. In addition, I am a leadership board member of the Michigan Fertility Alliance and helped to create the first ever Michigan Infertility Advocacy Day (MIAD) in September of 2021. In addition, we were able to get
