Why Fertility Therapy Matters on the Conception Journey

Problems with fertility don't just hurt the body; they also have a big effect on relationships, self-esteem, and mental health.  It can be very hard on your emotions whether you are going through IVF, losing babies over and over, or thinking about donor conception or surrogacy.

Here’s why fertility-focused psychotherapy can be so helpful:

·         Helps people stay strong emotionally during treatments or waiting periods

·         Helps deal with grief, anger, fear, or frustration over infertility

·         Helps partners talk to each other better during stressful times

·         Gives ways to deal with doubt, guilt, or social pressure

·         Gives you support in a safe, non-judgmental space

·         Helps people be clear when they're making important decisions about fertility

·         Connecting with a therapist who really gets it can help you feel less alone.

·         Therapy makes sure you're not going through this alone, which is something that should be a part of every fertility plan.
