The Emotional Cost of Infertility
Chicago Women, We See Your Struggle
Every month brings hope and heartbreak. Another negative test. Another friend's pregnancy announcement. Another well-meaning "just relax" comment.
If you're going through fertility treatment in Chicago, you're likely experiencing:
- •Anxiety during the two-week wait
- •Grief from failed cycles or loss
- •Relationship strain from treatment stress
- •Financial pressure from treatment costs
- •Isolation from friends who don't understand
- •Anger at your body for "failing" you
