You didn’t expect your life to revolve around ovulation windows, hormone shots, and clinic appointments. But here you are – scheduling your life around follicles, embryos, and two-week waits. The process of IVF or IUI can slowly eclipse everything else: your sense of self, your relationship, your joy.

If you’re going through fertility treatments, you’re not just navigating science – you’re navigating hope, heartbreak, and high stakes. You deserve care that sees you, not just your uterus.

The Silent Toll of Fertility Treatments

No one tells you that TTC (trying to conceive) through IVF or IUI can feel like a full-time job. One that demands your body, your money, your time, your peace of mind—and sometimes, your identity.

You may feel:

• Hypervigilant – tracking every symptom, googling every twinge
• Emotionally volatile – hopeful one moment, despairing the next
• Disconnected – from your partner, your friends, your own body
• Ashamed – as if needing help to conceive means you’re failing

In Indian society, where fertility is deeply tied to womanhood, this emotional burden is often intensified by unsolicited advice, “helpful” relatives, and social stigma around ART (assisted reproductive technology).

Your Body Is Not a Machine. And You Are Not Just a Patient.

When everything is measured in hormone levels, lining thickness, and embryo grades, it’s easy to start seeing your body as a project to fix. To feel like it’s failing you.

At Paloma Care, we help you shift the lens from performance to compassion. Our therapists work with women undergoing IVF, IUI, and egg retrievals to:

• Process the rollercoaster of emotions in each cycle
  
• Release internalized shame or self-blame
  
• Navigate relationship stress and sexual disconnection
  
• Create emotional boundaries with well-meaning but hurtful family/friends
  

You’re more than the outcome of a beta HCG test. You’re a whole person navigating something incredibly hard – and you deserve support that honors that.

What If You’re Considering Egg Freezing?

Maybe you’re not trying to conceive right now. Maybe you’re considering egg freezing because you’re not ready for a baby yet, but don’t want to lose options.

That decision, too, can feel isolating in a society that says you should have “settled down” by now. Our therapists help women:

• Explore fears and hopes around motherhood and timelines
  
• Feel empowered in making informed, emotionally-aligned decisions
  
• Grieve societal expectations that don’t match your life
  

Your reproductive choices are your own – and they deserve to be made from a place of clarity, not panic.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Whether you’re on your first cycle or your fourth, whether you’re injecting hormones or weighing your options—we see you. Paloma Care offers trauma-informed therapy for women navigating IVF, IUI, and egg freezing, including emotional prep before treatment and healing support after.

Book a session with us to reclaim your mental and emotional wellbeing – because fertility care should support all of you, not just your ovaries.
