- Normalize your feelings. Know that you’re not the only one navigating this journey and trying to make sense of the complicated feelings that come along with it.
- Feel your feelings. Whatever they may be.
- Take care of yourself. Focus on what you need. Implement a self-care routine in whatever way makes the most sense for you.
- Educate yourself. The infertility world is often confusing and terrifying. Talk with a professional about your infertility options and ask as many questions as you need to.
- Seek support. Do you need an individual therapist to help you make sense of this new reality? Do you need a group of people with shared experience to better support you? Do you need to communicate your needs with your partner? Seek support in whatever way you need.
