Coping

Infertility is perhaps one of the most stressful experiences a couple can go through. How you cope with this roller coaster of emotions depends very much on your personality and your situation – since every person is different and every infertility issue is unique. For example, someone who is dealing with pregnancy loss may have different needs and coping strategies than someone going through their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.

Coping with infertility always involves finding the strength within yourself and within your relationship to get through this difficult period. It also involves asking for help when you need it and learning as much as you can about your condition, the available infertility treatments, and the resources available to you.

This area offers advice and support for secondary infertility, pregnancy loss or general infertility. You’ll learn how to reach out to family, friends and professionals as well as how to find that inner strength to help yourself get through this difficult time.
