SickleRED

SC RED is more than an organization — it’s a bridge between patients, people, and providers. These testimonies reflect why this work matters and how creating space for honest conversations can change care, outcomes, and lives.

At SC RED, we’re addressing the challenges individuals with sickle cell disease face in reproductive and maternal health care. Through advocacy, research, and lived experiences, we empower individuals with the knowledge and support they need for their health and future. 🌟

Still processing the beauty of last night’s fireside chat. So grateful for every person who showed up, shared their truth, and created space for real, raw, and honest conversations. These stories matter. You matter. Thank you for trusting this space 🤍✨ #sicklecellawareness

Here at SC RED, we never get tired of talking about sickle cell and reproductive health — because every conversation brings us closer to awareness, access, and change. ❤️‍🩹 #SCRED #SickleCellAwareness #ReproductiveHealthMatters

💭 Living with sickle cell (or supporting someone who does) comes with so many ups and downs—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. 💜 Drop the heart that matches how you’re feeling today. #SickleCell #MentalHealth

✨ “Having sickle cell doesn’t mean you can’t have kids. 💕 It just means planning, support, and the right care are key. Talk with your hematologist + OB team early, know the risks, and make a plan for a healthy pregnancy. 🍼❤️ #SickleCellStrong #ReproductiveHealth #YouCan

💔 Did you know sickle cell can impact fertility in both men and women? From low testosterone and priapism in men, to diminished ovarian reserve and chemotherapy effects in women — warriors face unique challenges when it comes to reproductive health. 🌹 It’s more than physical.

Let’s raise our voices, spread awareness, and uplift our community. Together, we are stronger. 💪🏽❤️ #SickleCell #Awareness #SCRED

🚨Clinical Trial Update🚨 We remain committed to advocating for research that centers the needs, perspectives, and voices of the sickle cell community—and we’re deeply grateful to every participant whose involvement strengthens the future of SCD treatments. ❤️ #SickleCell
