Infertility Group in Philadelphia & on the Main Line in Pennsylvania
Uncover Hope and Healing with Our Pregnancy and Fertility Support Group
The doctor's appointments run your life. The needles and shots and the hormone roller coaster are taking you for a scary carnival ride.
You desperately want to create the family of your dreams. It feels so close, it used to feel exciting, you used to have hope and clear visions of being a parent. And it now consumes your life, your body and your relationships in all the wrong ways.
You’re angry.
You’re mad at your body, at everyone around you who is pregnant or has babies.
You wonder why it looks so easy for them and feels so impossible for you.
The chemical pregnancies, the miscarriages, the endless money that drains from you is just overwhelming and devastating. You feel alone even in your own family, your own marriage, your circle of friends.
If you don’t get support, you worry you’ll crumble further.
And all this to say that you’re told to eat well, to treat your body well, to exercise and take all the supplements and stay calm. How are you supposed to balance all this and stay calm?
You want to throw it all out the window, but you want a baby more than anything.
We know what this is like and we are here to help.
Maybe it’s not this severe for you. Maybe you just really want to maintain your privacy in your community. Maybe you’re living with frustration, failure and feelings of embarrassment and shame to be a downer. You have people who already do have families and you want to connect with others who you can share not so socially acceptable thoughts and feelings. It’s just so hard to connect and share what you’re going through with people who are pregnant or have families.
You’re more conservative in what you like to share with others and don’t want to burden your community with what you’re going through. Perhaps you’re shy or protective of your personal feelings and would prefer a circle of strangers who understand and can see you in it so your outside community doesn't need to be so let into your private space. You need a new audience and we are here for that as well.
Everyone needs community and support and you may already have it in some ways, but you could really use a circle of peers who are going through the same things.
You desperately need to find some hope, some skills, some listening ears who just get it.
You're not alone in these feelings of isolation and frustration.
If you're seeking a supportive community that offers genuine understanding and practical coping methods, our support group is here for you.
Our group is designed to provide a safe space where you can openly share your experiences with compassionate peers who are on similar paths. Together, we'll navigate the highs and lows of infertility and help hold you up so you can find your own resilience. We all have the type of empathy that specifically you need, this fosters a sense of belonging and solidarity. In our nurturing environment, we'll explore everyone’s individual stories and connect through understanding and witnessing. We offer mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and effective coping strategies specifically tailored to manage the stress, anxiety, grief, and loss that often accompany infertility. Through these tools, you'll not only learn to cope with the emotional challenges but also discover how to reclaim agency over your journey and strengthen your relationships along the way.
Most of all, we will help you find your inner parent within and support you in claiming those parts of yourself that feel lost in the sea of appointments and medical procedures.
Join us in connecting with others who share your journey, finding comfort, understanding, and practical support in a community that truly comprehends your challenges. Together, we'll rediscover hope, healing, and the strength of community as we navigate the path to parenthood with courage and determination.
