Scenario

When fertility struggles consume a couple's connection

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for eighteen months and it's taken over our entire relationship — every conversation somehow leads back to tracking cycles or test results or what we should try next. We've lost the ability to just be together without this weight between us, and I think we're both scared to admit how isolated we feel from each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared hope and disappointment have replaced intimacy, leaving two people lonely together.
