Trying To Conceive & Infertility
For the hope, the heartbreak, and everything in between
You did everything right. You waited until you felt ready, and then you started trying. And now you are in a place you never expected to be. Every month is a cycle of hope and then disappointment. The appointments, the tests, the waiting, the not knowing. It has taken over your life in a way that is hard to explain to anyone who has not been through it.
Or maybe you are just starting out and already feel the weight of what could lie ahead. The fear of not knowing how long this will take. The anxiety that comes with wanting something this much.
Either way, you are carrying something heavy.

The Silent Grief of Infertility
Infertility is a kind of grief that most people around you cannot see. You might be experiencing hope and heartbreak in the same week, sometimes in the same day. You sit through baby showers and pregnancy announcements and birthday parties, holding it together on the outside while something inside you is breaking. People say things like "just relax" or "it will happen when the time is right," and you smile and nod because what else can you do.
The grief is real. The isolation is real. And it deserves to be taken seriously.
You might be coming to therapy carrying some of these:
Guilt or shame about your body not working the way you expected
Anxiety and dread around each new cycle or treatment
Sadness that feels heavy but hard to put into words
Anger at your situation, or even at your own feelings
Feeling disconnected from your partner, your friends, or yourself
Avoiding pregnancy announcements, baby showers, or social events
Feeling stuck, hopeless, or like you have lost control of your own life
Before You Even Know What's Next
Maybe you have not started any treatments yet. Maybe you are not sure if you should. You have been trying for a while, and you are starting to wonder if something is wrong, but you are not ready to make that call yet because making that call makes it real. Or maybe you have already seen a doctor, and you are now sitting with a diagnosis or a treatment plan that feels overwhelming, and you do not know where to begin.
Should we try IUI first? Is IVF really the right step for us? What does this process actually look like emotionally, not just medically? What if we go through all of this and it still does not work?
These are not small questions. And they deserve more than a Google and ChatGPT search at midnight.
Therapy at this stage is about making sure you feel truly informed, grounded, and supported before you make decisions that feel enormous. It is a space to slow down, ask the questions you are afraid to ask, process the fear and uncertainty, and figure out what feels right for you. Not just what the next medical step is.
What Our Work Together Looks Like
Therapy offers a steady, consistent space to land during what can feel like the most uncertain time of your life. Early on we will talk about where you are in the process, what you have been carrying emotionally, and what kind of support you need most right now.
From there, our work together might include:
Making space to talk openly about the grief, anger, fear, and hope that can all show up in the same session, sometimes in the same breath
Learning concrete tools for managing the stress and anxiety that come with waiting, treatments, and not knowing
Exploring how this is affecting your sense of self, your relationships, and your identity
Processing the big decisions, whether to start treatment, continue, take a break, or consider other paths
Making sure you feel informed and supported at every stage, not just medically but emotionally
Therapy is not about finding quick answers or staying positive. It is about helping you feel less alone in what you cannot control, and more grounded in what you can.
