Finding Fertility

Handling The Emotional Side of Infertility | The Fertility Connection


Listen Later

HELLO BEAUTIFUL! 🦩⁣ Welcome back to another episode of Finding Fertility

When it comes to infertility we are told often from a young age that we cannot show emotion, that showing emotion equals weakness.Ā  As a result of this many of us turn towards other emotions when we are going through the infertility journey.Ā  Anger, bitterness, resentment, jealousy and so much more can rise up.Ā Ā 

In this episode, we talk about not just how to deal with your emotion in a positive way in order to let yourself feel, but how to recognize your feelings and thoughts.Ā  We can lay more emotional baggage on ourselves by feeling guilty for our negative thoughts, but by recognizing that our thoughts are not who we are, that can help us on our journey of working through them.Ā Ā Ā 

We have to come to an understanding that it is okay to feel, it is okay to feel sad.Ā  We don’t have to keep everything bottled up.Ā  In fact doing so leads to even more frustration and anger.Ā  It’s our desire that in this episode we show you that infertility and the journey does not have to ruin your life, and that life can still be beautiful.

Ā 

Ā Topics Discussed:

  • How to handle your emotions and why it’s important to cry.
  • How to deal with negative thoughts.
  • How do we move forward with our thinking while we are struggling with infertility?
  • How can we identify our triggers for our anger or other emotions?
  • Ā 

    Quotes:

    • ā€œIt’s not a quick and easy journey.ā€
  • ā€œAnger is exhausting.ā€
  • ā€œObserve your thoughts, but know you are not your thoughts.ā€
  • ā€œEverything outside of your control is something you have to work on.ā€
  • ā€œWhen we get stuck in our own struggle we can’t see others’ struggle.ā€

    Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional. Product recommendations are based on what I used during my infertility journey or wish I had.
