What not to say: when someone is trying to conceive

Season 2 · Episode 6

Wednesday, September 25, 2024 • Duration 36:00

Summary

In this episode of the Happy Hormone Hour, host Evelyn Kennedy and psychologist Melissa discuss the emotional and psychological challenges faced by individuals and couples trying to conceive. They explore the profound grief associated with fertility struggles, the impact on mental health, and the importance of support systems. Melissa shares coping strategies for managing stress and emotional turmoil, as well as advice for friends and family on how to provide meaningful support. The conversation also addresses the sensitive topic of miscarriage, emphasising the need for compassion and understanding. Finally, they discuss the therapeutic process and the importance of seeking professional help when needed.

Keywords

fertility, mental health, grief, coping strategies, miscarriage, emotional wellbeing, support, psychological help, relationships, women's health

Takeaways

Grief in fertility challenges is often disenfranchised and not recognized by society. Each month of trying to conceive can bring a sense of loss and sadness. It's important to focus on what you can control during the fertility journey. Mindfulness and grounding techniques can help manage anxiety and stress. Being open with friends and family can alleviate feelings of isolation. Support from loved ones should be compassionate and validating, not dismissive. Miscarriage is a profound loss that deserves acknowledgment and support. Therapy provides a safe space to explore feelings without judgment. Coping strategies are individualised; what works for one may not work for another. Self-compassion is crucial; it's okay to have days where you can only give 20%.
