Counseling for Fertility Challenges in Palm Desert

Maternal Mental Health in Palm Desert, CA

Addressing Fertility Challenges

You feel so deflated and disappointed. You keep doing everything right in order to start a family, reading all the books and blogs, eating all the right foods, taking care of your health and trying all the advice you get from social media and your friends who have also struggled with fertility challenges. You have seen so many specialists and they all have different opinions so it’s hard to trust what path you should follow.

The Goalposts Keep Moving

 It seems like every few months there is a roadblock that throws your particular plan into reverse and it becomes harder and harder each time to find your sense of balance as you proceed forward. You are so tired of waiting, you want to be holding a baby in your arms. You bristle anytime another friend or family member announces a pregnancy, and you begin calculating how old your baby would be if you had been able to carry to term.

You Worked Hard to Make Good Choices in Life

You find yourself always comparing yourself to those pregnant women in your life; you did so much to get yourself set up before jumping into a pregnancy: you went to school, got married, created a home, invested in your career, and you find yourself looking at other women who got pregnant easier, faster and with less planning. You notice you aren’t responding to invitations with pregnant friends or friends in general because you just don’t want the conversation to turn to what’s happening in your life. It’s all too painful. You are losing trust in your body and you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
