Scenario

When fertility struggles isolate couples from their community

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and all our friends are having babies and we keep showing up to baby showers and kids' birthday parties and pretending to be happy but we're both dying inside and we don't know how to ask for what we need. Everyone assumes we just don't want children.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The silence around reproductive loss is compounding the grief by forcing a performance of normalcy that prevents authentic connection.
