    Parents who experienced fertility challenges are tasked with a unique set of mental gymnastics. Just like parents who became pregnant on their own, we feel exhausted, anxious, and sad at times. After all, parenting isn’t easy, right? But, as parents who experienced fertility challenges, we often expect parenting to bring us only joy. After all, we worked so hard and wanted so much to become parents and finally have exactly what we wanted, right? Inevitably, shame and guilt for having these (everyday parenting) feelings come rushing in, increasing our isolation. If this sounds familiar, we’d love for you to join us!

  • The Men’s Fertility Support Group provides a space for men navigating the challenges of IVF, IUI, ICSI, miscarriage, and family-building. Trying to conceive can feel unpredictable and isolating, often taking a toll on mental health and impacting relationships, especially under the added pressure of fertility treatments.

    This weekly group, facilitated by a therapist/ IVF dad, offers a supportive environment to discuss personal experiences, connect with others facing similar challenges, and find validation for the range of emotions that can arise on this journey. Together, we’ll create a space of camaraderie, understanding, and support as we move through this complex experience.

    Becoming a parent after infertility presents unique challenges to early parenthood. We may feel not only exhausted, anxious, or sad at times-- emotional hallmarks of new parenting-- but perhaps also guilty or ashamed because of how much we wanted to become parents or how hard we worked to become parents. Because of these unique emotional hallmarks of parenting after fertility challenges, we may miss out on opportunities to connect with and receive support from other parents. So let’s come together in a safe space to support each other on our unique parenting journeys. We hope you will join us! This virtual support group provides a safe space for parents after infertility to share and connect to others, learn essential coping techniques, skill-build, and integrate helpful information to inform their experiences of parenting after infertility.

FAQs

  • As a fertility and family building counseling therapy practice, we see firsthand how infertility can impact couples and their relationships. It's a challenging journey that can understandably lead to conflict and communication difficulties. It's common for shame, blame, and guilt to surface, regardless of whether the cause is attributed to one partner or both (a male factor such as azoospermia or female factor infertility such as anovulation).Difficulties in communication between partners can create a painful emotional distance when couples need each other most.

    Additionally, struggling with infertility can make it challenging to be around loved ones who are pregnant, and insensitive comments from friends or family can further exacerbate the emotional strain.

    Remember, seeking support and navigating these challenges together through couples’ counseling with a fertility therapist can strengthen your bond and help you both cope with the emotional rollercoaster of infertility.

  • In our fertility therapy sessions, we work collaboratively with individuals or couples experiencing infertility to understand their unique struggles and develop a personalized treatment plan. While acknowledging the emotional impact of infertility, therapy also addresses broader mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and even past traumatic experiences that may be resurfacing.

    A key focus is on equipping you with tools to navigate the emotional complexities that come with infertility. This includes managing the stress of the "two-week wait" before a pregnancy test, coping with the emotional fallout of failed attempts or miscarriage, and navigating the complex feelings of shame or blame that can sometimes arise.

  • Group therapy is very powerful and helps you to know firsthand that you do not have to navigate fertility challenges on your own. Talking with other women with infertility issues helps you approach yourself with more compassion and quiets the feelings of blame and shame which often accompanies these challenges. Since other members of the group have “walked a mile in your shoes” they become wise women who experienced your experiences. You are not alone.

  • As an Atlanta and Vermont infertility counseling practice, we understand there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer to how long therapy for infertility takes. The journey itself is unique for each individual or couple, and the duration of treatment reflects that. Some individuals may find it beneficial to address emotional challenges throughout the treatment process, while others might seek support even after choosing not to pursue further fertility options. Ultimately, the duration is guided by your specific needs and goals. Whether you require short-term coping strategies or desire longer-term support, therapy can be a valuable companion during this challenging time.
