Definitive Guide to Support Groups in the U.S.
Struggling with infertility can be hard, especially since it isn’t always easy finding people who entirely understand your experiences. Sometimes it can feel like there are very few people you can talk to, this is completely normal. In situations like this, strong support networks are very important for mental health and wellbeing. Research shows that building social connections, especially with those that can understand one another, can protect against poor mental health.
Infertility support groups can help you be a part of a group of people going through similar experiences. In these groups, everyone will understand and listen as they are all collectively joining these groups for the purpose of being supported and supporting others. There are no rules to joining an infertility support group — maybe you want some insights on doctors, information on medication side effects, or have the support that everyone needs; you can join no matter what! So here’s a list of infertility support groups we’ve covered for you:
