“It was great to finally have a place to go to
vent as well as get support and understanding from others that are dealing with
the pain of infertility. I felt as if a huge load had been lifted off my shoulders
and am ready to try some new coping skills to help me through our situation.
I was a little nervous before going to our first meeting but Lynn does such a
fantastic job with putting people at ease--my husband and I are both looking
forward to the next meeting.” |

Exploring Series: Strengthening
Your Relationship |
Women and men often react to the stress of infertility with
different coping styles that can cause couples to feel on opposing sides. Feeling
inadequate or lonely, misunderstood, or not sure of how to give and receive support
is not uncommon. Yet these very strains in the relationship can provide
great opportunities for growth. Understand why relationships are impacted
by fertility challenges and how difficult dynamics and issues can be transformative
and strengthening.

and start from a place of calm
- Learn active listening
- Improve communication
- Develop problem-solving techniques
- Compliment your different coping styles
- Restore balance to your relationship and
within yourself
- Reclaim intimacy and revitalize connection
