Fertility Treatment Psychological Support in Melbourne

What Fertility Challenges Feel Like

Facing fertility struggles can become an emotional rollercoaster, filled with hope and disappointment,and sometimes grief, often leading to stress and strain on both interpersonal and intimate relationships. There are many decisions to be made and sometimes people can feel that they struggle emotionally to make sense of their options and reactions. 

When to Seek Help

If the emotional weight of fertility treatments is becoming too much for you and your relationship, or if you're feeling alone in your journey, professional psychological support can provide relief and renewed strength.

You Are Not Alone

Our team at Hawksburn Therapy Centre is here to support you emotionally through your fertility journey, providing a space to discuss and manage the feelings that arise during this challenging time.

Signs and Symptoms of Fertility Treatment Stress

The stress of fertility treatments can manifest as:

  • Physical: Changes in sleep patterns, headaches, and fatigue, hormonal changes, adjustment to medications and medical procedures.
  • Mental: Anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking about fertility and the desire to have a child.
  • Relationship stress due to the ongoing challenges and demands of receiving  fertility treatments
  • Behavioural: Avoidance of social situations, tension in relationships, and mood swings.
