Scenario

When couples cope with fertility struggles in completely different ways

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and we've started handling the disappointment completely differently - I want to talk about it and research next steps while they shut down and need space after each negative test. We're starting to feel like we're going through this alone even though we're supposed to be in it together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The same loss is driving you toward opposite responses, creating isolation in what should be shared grief.
