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.
