When couples navigate infertility with different coping styles

My husband and I have been trying to have kids for three years and we've started handling the disappointment completely differently — he wants to keep trying naturally, I want to explore IVF, and we've both gotten so careful around each other that we barely talk about it anymore. The silence feels almost worse than the monthly grief.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared dreams can become sources of isolation when grief makes partners strangers to each other's needs.
