Try. Wait. Repeat.

You’re stuck in an endless cycle of hope and heartache. Ovulation sticks, pregnancy tests, and scheduled sex.  Appointments, shots, and procedures. Time is passing you by as everyone around you is moving forward with their lives. Big questions circle around in your head. “Is it me? Is it my partner? Am I trying too hard—or not trying hard enough?” You keep these questions to yourself and try to be happy for the people in your life who seem to get pregnant so effortlessly. Inside you feel frustrated and weary, wondering if you can possibly take one more disappointment. It’s so much work, and it feels like this cycle is taking over every part of you, your relationship, and your life. Sometimes it feels like you are getting lost in all of it.

You are more than your infertility struggles. 

During your fertility journey, you may experience grief, a disruption in adjustment, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other infertility-related mental health challenge. Trying to conceive can test your physical and emotional health, as well as intimacy with your partner. Working with one our infertility therapists in Newport Beach or one of our couples therapists can help you navigate your fertility journey while protecting the emotional well-being of you and your relationship.
