FAQ - Support and Emotional

The first question you may have after trying to conceive for any amount of time is: “Why is this happening to me (us)?”  Infertility is a tricky condition. There are a variety of emotions associated with it, and the stigma in our culture is that pregnancy should be “easy” and “natural.” These phrases can cause couples to feel inadequate and frustrated with their situation. The truth is that 8 to10% of all women, and 10 to15% of all men are infertile.  Infertility is a disease and should be given the same emotional support as other diseases are given and be free of that stigma. 

You will likely experience sadness and pain, but we recommend finding comfort in your partner and offering that same comfort to your partner as well. The journey of infertility can be long, with highs and lows. Knowing that it’s you and your partner against the world will help you during this time.

At CNY, we understand the emotional toll that treatment can take on you.  We offer several free emotional support options such as support groups, one-on-one support consultations, and monthly support webinars where you can process your feelings and receive support without judgement during your fertility journey.
