Infertility and Fear

Facing Fear in Infertility

Infertility is filled with deep, often unspoken fears. What if it never happens? What if something's wrong with me? What if we’re alone in this forever?

These questions haunt us. They shape how we live, how we hope, and how we connect with others.

In this episode, Jesse and Doug dive into the topic of fear in infertility.

Fear, when left unspoken or unacknowledged, doesn’t just disappear. It tends to show up in other ways like stress, anxiety, catastrophizing, or even emotional numbness. When we push fear away, it doesn't leave us; it just finds a new way to take hold.

We’ll explore what it means to name our fears honestly and how doing so can open the door to greater emotional resilience and mental health. What happens when we stop avoiding the "what ifs" and start confronting them with compassion and clarity?

If infertility has ever given you the scaries, this episode is for you. Join us as we talk about how facing our fear might be one of the most courageous steps toward healing.
