Mental Health & Support
Resources and guidance for your emotional wellbeing during your fertility journey
"The emotional journey of fertility treatment can be as challenging as the physical one. Finding support is not just helpful—it's essential."
— Dr. Sarah Johnson, Fertility Psychologist
The Emotional Experience
The fertility journey can bring up a range of emotions—from hope and excitement to anxiety, grief, and frustration. These feelings are normal and valid.
Many people experience emotional ups and downs during fertility treatments. Hormonal medications can also affect your mood, making emotional support even more important.
Remember that taking care of your mental health is just as important as the medical aspects of your fertility journey.
