What is infertility coaching?
First, let’s talk about what an infertility coach does. Infertility coaching is a specialized form of coaching that focuses on supporting individuals and couples facing fertility challenges. It aims to provide emotional support, guidance, and practical advice throughout the infertility journey. Whether you're just starting to explore fertility treatments or have been trying to conceive for a while, an infertility coach can offer valuable insights and help you navigate the complex world of infertility.
So, what does an infertility coach do?
An infertility coach works closely with you to understand your unique situation, concerns, and goals. They provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to express your emotions and fears. They offer guidance on various aspects of infertility, such as understanding treatment options, managing medications, making informed decisions, and coping with the emotional roller coaster that often accompanies the journey.
Would an infertility coach be beneficial for me?
When you receive an infertility diagnosis, there are countless questions that can surface:
Is IVF the right choice for me? How do I choose a reputable clinic? What are all these tests? What is a reasonable timeline for IVF and transfer? How do I manage the medications? Can I exercise? Take supplements? What do these numbers mean? What are my next steps?
These are the types of questions an infertility coach can help answer. And, the right coach will take your unique infertility journey into consideration as they guide you through the process. They’ll be able to answer questions based on your situation:
How do I decide between inseminations and IVF? What testing should I do? How do you choose a good provider? Should I work with my local OB/gyn or go to a fertility clinic?
What should I be looking for when choosing a coach?
Choosing the right infertility coach to be part of your health care team is an important decision. You need someone whose experience you trust and who is compassionate and understanding of your unique situation.
