Fertility & Infertility Therapy FAQs
-
Fertility therapy is mental health counseling that supports the emotional and relational challenges that can come with infertility, fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, and the journey toward building a family.
At Metro Counseling and Wellness, fertility therapy provides a supportive space to process anxiety, grief, uncertainty, relationship stress, medical experiences, and the many emotions that can come with trying to conceive or navigating fertility treatment. Therapy is individualized to your experience and can complement the medical care you receive from your fertility specialist, OB-GYN, or other healthcare providers.
-
Infertility can affect much more than your plans for having a baby. It can affect your mood, relationships, sense of identity, body image, work, friendships, and ability to feel present in everyday life.
Therapy can help you navigate fertility-related anxiety, grief, uncertainty, treatment stress, difficult decisions, relationship strain, and the emotional impact of repeated disappointments or unsuccessful treatment cycles. It can also provide a place to reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel overshadowed by fertility treatment.
-
Yes. Fertility treatment can involve frequent appointments, procedures, medications, waiting periods, financial decisions, and uncertainty about what comes next. The cycle of hope, anticipation, waiting, and disappointment can become emotionally exhausting.
Therapy can help you manage anxiety and intrusive thoughts, cope with uncertainty, prepare for difficult appointments or procedures, and find ways to stay connected to your life outside of fertility treatment.
-
Yes. Infertility and pregnancy loss can overlap in complicated ways. You may be grieving a pregnancy while also worrying about whether you will become pregnant again.
Therapy can provide space to process grief, fear, anger, guilt, anxiety, and the uncertainty that can follow pregnancy loss. We can also work through the emotional impact of trying to conceive again or navigating fertility treatment after a loss.
-
Yes. Infertility and fertility treatment can affect partners differently. One person may want to continue treatment while the other needs a break. One partner may want to talk about the experience while the other copes by focusing on practical decisions.
Therapy can help couples communicate more openly, understand each other's experiences, navigate difficult fertility decisions, and maintain connection and intimacy during a stressful season.
You can also begin individual therapy if your partner does not want to participate.
-
You don't need a mental health diagnosis—or even a formal infertility diagnosis—to seek therapy.
Some people reach out because they feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in uncertainty while trying to conceive. Others are coping with fertility testing, unexplained infertility, treatment decisions, or the emotional impact of waiting.
Therapy can provide support even when you don't have a clear answer about what comes next.
-
Yes. Deciding whether to continue fertility treatment can be one of the most difficult parts of the fertility journey.
You may experience grief, uncertainty, relief, guilt, fear, or conflicting feelings about what comes next. Therapy provides a space to slow down, explore what matters to you, process what you are grieving, and navigate difficult decisions without judgment or pressure.
-
Fertility testing and treatment can change the way you experience your body. Monitoring cycles, procedures, medications, symptoms, and repeated attention to reproductive outcomes can leave you feeling disconnected from or frustrated with your body.
Therapy can help you explore body image, self-compassion, identity, and the emotional impact of feeling as though your body has become part of a medical process.
-
Yes. Becoming pregnant after infertility or pregnancy loss does not always mean the fear goes away. Pregnancy can bring hope while also bringing anxiety, hypervigilance, grief, or fear that something will go wrong.
Therapy can help you process those emotions and develop ways to navigate pregnancy after infertility or loss while staying connected to the present moment.
-
No. Metro Counseling and Wellness provides psychotherapy and emotional support rather than medical fertility treatment.
Your fertility specialist, OB-GYN, or other medical provider remains responsible for evaluating and treating medical fertility concerns. Therapy can complement that care by addressing the emotional, psychological, and relational aspects of the fertility journey.
