Support group for people struggling with infertility

Infertility is rarely a single event – it usually means several years of life lived to the rhythm of tests, appointments, procedures and waiting for results, with hope and disappointment alternating every few weeks. The people around you, with the best of intentions, offer “don’t stress”, “maybe adoption”, “my friend…”, and every pregnancy announcement in the family or on Instagram costs more than you can say out loud.

In the group you don’t have to explain everything from the beginning. You meet people who know the language of procedures and samples, who have also counted the days and have also had a day when they couldn’t bring themselves to go to a christening. The group offers two things that even the kindest people around you cannot: understanding without explanations, and the experience of others at different stages of the same journey.

The sessions are led by a psychologist – we look after confidentiality, equal time for everyone and making sure the sessions don’t turn into an exchange of medical advice. We do not replace treatment or consultations at the clinic; we focus on what is happening with you, your relationship and your life alongside treatment. We also talk about topics there is no room for in a doctor’s office: stopping treatment, life without a child, adoption, guilt and anger.
