"Fall apart. Start again. Fall apart. Start again... with or without, you are valuable, you are whole, you matter."
You have hopes and dreams about how your life will transpire… maybe it's college, or trade school, marriage or a partnership, a career you're passionate about, and for some, a family.
When these hopes and dreams become realities they are often the most joy filled moments of your life.
But when these hopes and dreams are broken or challenged it can feel impossible to overcome.
As someone who has coped with infertility personally, I know the physical, emotional and financial impact it can have both on you as an individual and on your relationships. It can be incredibly overwhelming to feel all these different emotions in the midst of trying to make informed and educated decisions about your future.
Trying, anticipating, waiting... and then disappointment… rinse and repeat.
THIS process, THIS cycle, over and over again leading to more and more disappointment.
Only to be told, keep trying, and KEEP facing disappointment for at least a year before you can do anything about it. All leaving you to question ... "How can anyone make sense of this?!" "How has NO ONE told me how HARD this process would be?! "How am I supposed to keep doing this and keep feeling this over and over again?"
A clinical diagnosis of infertility is defined as...
"trying to conceive over a 12 month period without success."
Having worked with couples who have survived that one-year, (and well beyond) who are struggling to put the pieces together and cope with even more waiting periods and potential disappointments, we want you to know this:
We get it. We see you. And you're not alone.
