This wasn’t what you expected.
You expected parenting to be a challenge, of course…but not the road to get there.
You feel lonely, isolated, and so deeply exhausted.
It feels like everyone around you is magically getting pregnant. It seems so easy for everyone else! Mother’s Day, baby showers, pregnancy announcements, and even seeing parents with their babies at the grocery store have all become next-level triggering.
You’re torn between blaming yourself and your partner, you have no real answers, and every doctor, friend, and Google search is giving you different advice. Your body and your heart feel empty.
Worst of all, it seems like no one actually understands how awful this feels.
The support you deserve.
Imagine finally finding a light at the end of the tunnel.
The hoping, the waiting, and the emotional ups and downs are no less painful, but you don’t have to go through them alone anymore.
You’ve found a space to share how you feel with someone who actually gets it: the pain of that baby shower invite; the confusion of feeling like a teenager from your IVF stims; and the heartbreak of a false positive.
You’ve found your fertility safe space. And you truly belong there.
Discover a space for you.
Take the time to take care of you.
Here, you’ll a safe and caring space to share about the unfiltered realities of trying to conceive: the good, the bad, the ugly.
You’ll build new skills to help you manage the tidal wave of emotions that come with TTC, from grief to rage to hope. And if you’re queer, a single parent by choice to=be, co-parenting, or any other unique family style, you’ll be welcomed into a space that validates your identity. Wherever you are in your journey to expand your family, we’ll meet you there.
As you work to bring new life into the world, let’s get your life back.
Who TTC Therapy is for:
→You’re trying to conceive or expand your family. Whether you plan to become a single parent by choice, queer family, co-parenting polycule, blended family, or are looking into options such as surrogacy or adoption—you belong here.
→ You are dealing with the stresses, strains, grief, and unpredictability that accompanies infertility. You might be searching for your perfect sperm or egg donor, nauseous and uncomfortable from IVF stims, or feeling chained to the demands of timed intercourse and cycle tracking.
→ It feels like your entire life has become about your fertility journey. You can’t walk through a store without being drawn the baby aisle, you feel an enormous sense of longing for a child, and you’re sick with jealousy when a friend announces their pregnancy (despite trying to be happy for them).
→ You’re plagued by anxiety, worry, and doubt, with “what if” questions on loop in your mind.
→ You feel like you’re sinking under the weight of uncertainty, doubt, and confusion. Every doctor tells you something different, and you’re craving a space to talk to people who actually get it.
