What happens when trying to conceive starts affecting more than just your plans - and you realise you don’t really feel like yourself anymore?
In this episode, I talk about what can sometimes happen emotionally during a Fertility journey - when the waiting, disappointment, and ongoing uncertainty start to feel heavier than you expected, and you begin wondering if this is more than just a hard season.
I unpack five things that can help you navigate this space, from grieving the story you thought your life would follow, to noticing God’s kindness in the middle of hard days, protecting your relationships, letting go of the pressure to find the perfect fix, and knowing when it might be time to ask for support.
If you’re tracking Ovulation Symptoms, hoping for a Positive Pregnancy Test, or walking through the ups and downs of Fertility struggles, this episode is for when things feel harder than you can quite explain. Questions from the Episode:
- Are there parts of the story you imagined for your life that you’re grieving right now?
- Has infertility become the only thing you can focus on right now?
- Have you pulled away from relationships because you need space right now, or has this season made it harder to stay connected to the relationships that could actually help carry you through it?
- Has this season started affecting you more deeply than you realised?
- Do you need some extra support right now, rather than trying to carry this on your own?
