Navigating Friendships During Infertility: How to Communicate Your Needs and Find Support

Feeling the unique strain of navigating friendships on the infertility journey? You're not alone. Balancing being a good friend while honoring your own feelings can be challenging when you’re trying to conceive, and the isolation can be overwhelming. If this resonates with you, today's episode is a must-listen.

We're talking about friendships during infertility. Get cozy as we discuss finding understanding and support from friends while navigating this challenging TTC journey.

I've personally experienced the struggle of being surrounded by friends immersed in pregnancies and baby talk. I know the desire for more from your friends, and the challenge of wanting support without feeling like a burden. It's possible to communicate your needs without burdening them further and to have friends who, even if they don't understand, are incredibly supportive.
Navigating friendships during infertility is a challenge, but your needs matter. Your friends are supportive, but sometimes they need to hear it from you and sometimes you need more.
