Trigger Warning: Discussion of Infertility and Pregnancy Loss

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Molly Burrets, a clinical psychologist and fertility expert, to discuss reproductive grief and the emotional challenges of infertility. We explore the concept of reproductive grief, its impact on individuals and relationships, and strategies for coping with fertility struggles. Dr. Burrets shares her personal journey with secondary infertility, IVF, and the complexities of navigating pregnancy after loss. We discuss the importance of setting boundaries, finding joy amidst grief, and how to support loved ones experiencing fertility challenges. This conversation offers insights for anyone touched by infertility or reproductive loss, and provides a compassionate perspective on an often misunderstood and deeply personal journey.

Key Takeaway / Points:

  • Defining reproductive grief and its impact
  • Dr. Burrets’s personal journey with secondary infertility and IVF
  • The emotional toll of canceled IVF cycles and pregnancy loss
  • Strategies for coping with fertility struggles and finding joy
  • How to support friends experiencing infertility or loss
  • The importance of setting boundaries during fertility treatments
  • Navigating pregnancy after loss and managing anxiety
  • The complexities of grief even after successful pregnancy
  • Finding ways to fill your cup and prioritize self-care during fertility struggles
