Emotional health and fertility go hand-in-hand, so stay mindful of your mental health during your fertility journey
While your fertility journey can be exciting, it can also be unpredictable for you and those close to you.
As many as 60% of people say their fertility diagnosis and treatment challenged their mental health.
You also may be struggling, and that is common—you are not alone. It may be helpful to have an ally by your side. Research suggests that participating in support groups or behavioral therapy can ease stress.
If you are struggling with your
mental health, you should always seek professional help.
