The Best Tips for Surviving Infertility with guest Dr. Deborah Simmons

Dr. Deborah Simmons provides specialized counseling for infertility-related trauma and pregnancy loss. She works with clinics around the country.

She is passionate about helping fertility patients (she calls them "pre-parents") as they work through the journey of becoming a parent, whether that be through IUI, IVF, donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos, or surrogacy.
She shares so many great insights about how to handle the mental-wellness side of things when you're going through fertility treatment.
Here are few key items she shares:
For yourself: Find compassion for yourself throughout treatment
If partnered: Looking to your partner and acknowledging their feelings about the journey
With friends: Let them know what you need while also honoring what you need
With Co-workers: Let them know you're having "medical problems" and don't feel you have to share everything.
