Fertility and Other Paths
Infertility is more common than we might realize, with many women experiencing difficulties conceiving after a year of trying. Throughout this journey, women attend numerous doctor visits, engage in ovulation monitoring and timing of intercourse. They involve their partners in the process, but women often bear more responsibility and are more deeply engaged. Frequently, women endure this experience in complete isolation, as the societal taboo surrounding delayed conception remains prevalent.
When faced with challenges in conceiving, some couples opt for complex IVF procedures. This process can evoke a range of emotions, including frustration, sadness, insecurities, loneliness, isolation, blame, anxiety, and more. A therapist experienced in supporting women through this journey can have a positive impact.
