When fertility struggles isolate couples from each other

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and the monthly cycle of hope and disappointment is starting to make us strangers to each other. We don't know how to talk about it anymore without one of us shutting down or the other trying to fix everything.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared grief is being carried in isolation, turning partners into careful strangers around their deepest longing.
