Scenario

When fertility struggles isolate couples from each other

My husband and I are trying to conceive and it's been eighteen months of negative tests and we've stopped being able to comfort each other — when I'm sad he feels helpless, when he withdraws I feel alone, and we're grieving something that doesn't exist in completely separate worlds.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared hope can become shared disappointment, and disappointment can make strangers of the people who need each other most.
