The decision to start exploring fertility options or IVF can in and of itself, be a complex and emotional decision. Working through feelings of inadequacy, lack of trust in your body, judgement or perceived judgement from those around you and your own thoughts surrounding conception can be complex. Grief for an experience of conception that you had imagined can also play a real part during this time.
Navigating these fertility challenges or IVF can become all consuming, even when surrounded by medical care and well-meaning support. Alongside appointments, procedures, and decisions, many people find themselves carrying complex emotions - anxiety, grief, exhaustion, numbness, hope or a feeling of uncertainty. There is often little space to truly express or understand these. When a person, or a couple, feels genuinely heard and supported — and is offered practical, compassionate strategies to navigate the emotional and hormonal intensity of IVF and fertility challenges — the experience can become far more manageable and less overwhelming. It is my hope that I can provide the space for you to feel heard and supported without any judgement.
