Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Some of the most joyous moments in life also have the potential to be the most painful. The world doesn’t seem fair when some women get pregnant just by looking at their partners, or so it would seem, while others try for months, and then begin to time their cycles, and finally start exploring other options. The infertility journey is long and confusing—full of needle pricks, doctor’s appointments and strange or inappropriate questions from friends and loved ones. And if you’re part of a queer couple, you can multiply those strange and inappropriate questions by a factor of two, or maybe three. But then it happens, you get the news: X number of healthy embryos. Yay! Except they are all boys, you really wanted a girl, but that’s okay, you just want a healthy baby. But then, your first implantation doesn’t take. So you have to try again. Success! At least at first. Miscarriages are also an all too common, intensely painful part of this process. It starts to feel like your body is betraying you. Or what if you don’t have all of the necessary parts to carry the child and you need to use a surrogate? The first one doesn’t work out, and the second one doesn’t pass psychological testing and number three, well, unfortunately after three unsuccessful tries, it’s time to look for number four. When will it end? And when will it be your turn for a healthy baby? Therapeutic support from someone who understands the process can help you feel less alone as you navigate the decisions, the ups and downs, and the journey to becoming your own self-educated endocrinologist (kidding, sort of…).

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
The path to parenthood is not always straightforward, and fertility struggles can bring profound grief, uncertainty, isolation, and strain on relationships. You may be navigating IVF, pregnancy loss, recurrent disappointment, difficult medical decisions, or the emotional complexity of wanting something deeply that feels uncertain or out of reach. These experiences often stir questions of identity, control, partnership, and hope. Therapy can offer a space to process grief, navigate difficult decisions, strengthen relationships, and make sense of the many emotions that arise along the way, including exploring alternative paths to parenthood when relevant.
