coping
Infertility is one of the most stressful experiences a couple can go through. How you cope with this roller coaster of emotions will be a personal journey – after all, your personality is unique, and so are your infertility issues. Your feelings won’t necessarily match those of other people with fertility issues. For example, someone who is dealing with pregnancy loss may have different needs and coping strategies than someone going through their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. It’s important to find what works for you.
Coping with infertility requires you to test your personal strength and the strength of your relationship with your partner. It also involves knowing when to ask for help from your friends and family. You can begin to help yourself by learning as much as you can about your condition, the available infertility treatments, and the resources available to you.
This section offers advice and support for secondary infertility, pregnancy loss and general infertility. We will show you how to reach out to family, friends and professionals as well as ways to find the inner strength to help yourself get through this difficult time.
