Does anybody see a therapist to help them cope/understand?

Does it help? Do you go alone or with a partner?

I seem to always be having dark days, to myself, no one else knows it's everyday I'm sad because I'm so good at being 'normal'.

Just a little lost. Thanks in advance X X

Yes I see a counsellor and find it very helpful. Your clinic should be able to refer you to a counsellor specialising in fertility. Or use this link to find a local one itsgoodtotalk.org.uk It will also help to talk to the people around you if you can. It is okay to be sad about it.

Hello! Yes I've been seeing one through my clinic and it has helped me so much, they really are excellent. Good luck xx

I also went to see a counsellor for a little while. I had to pay privately though and it cost so much that I couldn't continue. I don't feel like I want to tell my husband how down I feel because I don't want to burden him with it so I thought the counselling was really useful. This forum is also very useful, lots of people to talk to who really understand what you're going through xxxxxx

Hi, my husband and I have been on this journey for 4 years with no luck so far. After my 3rd failed IVF I went to one counselling session (was offered for free as part of the NHS funded treatment). I was very sceptical first but am glad I went. The counsellor obviously won't have any magical answers but she gave me some very helpful suggestions (for example I was always obsession over the fact that I might never have children and how awful this was etc - she said the catastrophe scenario is just not very helpful and it is more helpful for me to take one step at a time and not get so caught up in negative/depressed thinking). I haven't been back since but the one session was actually worthwhile. It sounds like you are keeping a lot of thoughts and feelings to yourself, it might help you to speak to a counsellor. All the best !
