Scenario

When couples stop communicating about ongoing fertility struggles

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and we've stopped talking about it directly but it's present in every conversation we don't have, every social event we decline, every time one of us gets quiet, and I don't know how to break through this silence we've built around our shared disappointment.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The weight of repeated hope and disappointment has created a protective silence that is now isolating two people who most need each other.
