Infertility is Stressful and Isolating
Trying to start a family, not being able to and experiencing infertility is very disappointing and stressful. Infertility can cause you to become discouraged, be down on yourself, overwhelmed with negativity and questioning your ability to ever become a mom. The lack of control you may feel over your body, infertility and what it is not doing, can make you feel helpless or hopeless.
In addition you may feel alone on your infertility journey due to shame and guilt. You may not want to share with others your struggles in becoming pregnant. This can only further cause your mind to spiral with depression or anxiety symptoms.
Your relationships may also be negatively impacted as well by infertility. People may be questioning why you do not have a family, only to leave you feeling worse and empty. All the outside pressure to conceive and not to mention social media impact can make you feel lonely and without any hope of becoming a mom. Infertility can be isolating, frustrating and a very lonely journey.
All this can easily lead to depression or anxiety combined with infertility. This cycle of anxiety or depression can just keep you feeling stuck and as if you will never be the mom you know you were meant to be. This can further negatively impact your fertility by adding more stress into your already overwhelming life. Making it more difficult for you to stay positive and helping you gain a future pregnancy.
