ONLINE Therapy in ca & ga for Your Fertility Journey

You never thought getting pregnant would be so hard. Maybe you spent years trying not to get pregnant, only to now feel like your body is betraying you. You may find yourself questioning what’s wrong with you, replaying past choices, or wondering if you somehow caused this. Infertility can feel deeply personal, leading to feelings of failure, inadequacy, and even a loss of identity. The weight of these emotions can be isolating, especially when it can feel like others seem to conceive easily.

Infertility can bring about a range of complicated emotions; from feelings of guilt, envy, shame and then self judgement for natural emotions that you feel you “shouldn’t” be feeling. The fertility journey can be emotionally isolating, making you feel distant from friends and loved ones. It's tough to feel happy for friends who are pregnant when each announcement feels like a punch in the gut. Events like baby showers and social media posts can trigger painful emotions—guilt for being envious, sadness for what you lack, and frustration over others' lack of understanding. You may feel stuck in a cycle of emotions that feel overwhelming and confusing.

Infertility is a unique kind of grief—one that’s hard to put into words. It’s the loss of a dream, of the imagined pregnancy, of the experience you thought you’d have. But it’s a loss that’s rarely acknowledged, leaving you to carry it quietly, without the space to fully process or grieve.You might have once imagined an effortless, joyful path to pregnancy. Instead, you’re navigating a world of appointments, medical interventions, and uncertainty. There’s grief in losing the dream of how it “should have” happened—grief over what your body is going through, grief over the connection you longed to share with others on this journey, and grief for the lost sense of ease in your life.

Struggling to stay present in a life that feels paused. Infertility can make it feel like your life is on hold. Everything revolves around cycles, treatments, and next steps. Every appointment, every test, every two-week wait brings a rollercoaster of emotions. The hope, the letdown, and the fear of “what if this never happens” can feel relentless. It’s exhausting to hold onto hope while protecting yourself from disappointment. Some days, it feels like too much to bear.
