The infertility process and journey can be a very long, stressful, and emotional roller coaster. Due the wide variety of emotions one might experience, ranging from excitement to despair, therapy may be a great tool and resource for someone trying to navigate through this part of your life. The old saying, “there is no one size fits all” certainly applies to the feelings and reactions of coping with infertility.  Counseling offers coping strategies, understanding and a framework for some of the decision-making that accompanies the infertility journey.
