It's devastating to want something so much and not know how to make it happen.
It can feel overwhelming to find the right doctor, the right treatment. You're consulting with EVMS, New Hope Center, Procreate, Facebook groups, and even adoption agencies. You're open to anything and anyone who might help you to become a mother or father. You may feel guilt, anger, jealousy, shame, or worthlessness. You may also feel you've lost a sense of control, privacy, independence, sexuality, or self.
It can feel daunting and lonely, and sometimes you can't bring yourself to call a close family member or friend because you worry that they'll grow tired of hearing about your fears and plans. Maybe they don't understand, maybe they have babies or children of their own and it's just too painful to hear about their lives...the life you desperately want. Or maybe you're more private and don't want others to know everything that you're going through.
You are not alone. Approximately 1 in 8 couples experience infertility.
Sometimes talking with a professional is easier. Someone to listen and to help process the roller coaster of feelings that seem to change day to day.
I CAN HELP!
No matter where you are in your fertility journey, I can help you to organize your thoughts, process your emotions, make informed decisions, and navigate this difficult road you never thought you'd be on. I get where you are, I've been down this road, too, and I encourage you to make an appointment to talk with me and find out if I'm the right therapist for you.
