“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow.”
– Mary Anne Radmacher

This isn’t what you had envisioned. Everyone talks about the ease of starting a family, but that’s not your reality. You may feel a deep sense of frustration, grief, or even anger as you struggle with infertility. You’re likely experiencing a range of emotions—sometimes sadness, sometimes anxiety, sometimes hopelessness. You might feel overwhelmed by the constant cycle of appointments, tests, and treatments, and it’s starting to take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being.

Maybe you’re constantly questioning what’s wrong or why this is happening to you. You might be having intrusive thoughts about never being able to have children, or that something is wrong with you. You feel disconnected from friends or family who don’t understand, and maybe even guilty for not being able to “just relax and let it happen.” You may find yourself feeling resentful of those who seem to have an easy time getting pregnant, and that only intensifies your sadness and frustration. You might feel emotionally distant from your partner, unsure of how to cope together or if you’re both on the same page. The stress is taking a toll on your relationship, leading to tension and disagreements. Or maybe you feel isolated, unsure of where to turn for help, and overwhelmed by what’s ahead.

Maybe you’re questioning why things aren’t working, feeling like you’re running out of time or options. IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) may have been recommended as a potential solution, but even the process of IVF can feel daunting, overwhelming, and emotionally draining. From the rigorous testing, hormone treatments, and the constant pressure of hoping for success, you might find yourself feeling exhausted, both physically and mentally. With each round, there can be a deep fear of disappointment, and when things don’t go as planned, the emotional impact can be crushing. You might also feel isolated, unsure of how to talk about IVF with friends or family who might not understand the complexities or emotional rollercoaster you’re experiencing. Whether you’re feeling pressure to succeed or guilt when things don’t go as expected, the emotional burden of IVF can be immense.

If you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, or despair because of infertility or IVF, you don’t have to go through it alone. There is support available to help you cope with these difficult emotions and challenges.
