“I feel so alone. My friends just can’t relate.”

Infertility can feel like living in a different world than everyone around you. While others are announcing pregnancies or planning baby showers, you may be quietly asking yourself, “Why am I not getting pregnant?” or feeling defeated by yet another round of tests and treatments.

The truth is, getting pregnant is hard for many people. Unexplained infertility, difficulty conceiving, and repeated disappointments take a profound toll not only on your body, but also on your mental health, relationships, and sense of self.

You don’t have to walk this path alone. Our Infertility Support Group offers a safe, validating space for emotional support, practical tools, and connection with others who truly understand.

The 12 Most Common Things We Hear from Women Navigating Infertility

Struggling with infertility can create a deep sense of shame and self-blame. You may feel like your body is betraying you, even though fertility issues are often complex and out of your control. This group helps reframe these painful thoughts and provide compassionate infertility emotional support so you don’t carry this weight alone.
Well-meaning friends may offer quick fixes or advice, but unless they’ve walked this road, they can’t grasp the depth of it. You may feel dismissed or unseen. In this space, you don’t have to explain or minimize. Everyone here gets it.
Social media feeds, family gatherings, and baby showers can become minefields of triggers. Feeling envy or sadness in these moments is normal, not a sign that you aren’t happy for others. Our group offers infertility mental health support so you can process those reactions with care instead of guilt.
With infertility, grief often goes unrecognized. You may be mourning cycles that didn’t work, imagined futures, or pregnancies that never began. This “invisible grief” is real, and our group makes space to acknowledge and heal it.
Many people on this journey spend sleepless nights searching for answers to “why am I not getting pregnant?” While it’s understandable to look for control, endless Googling usually fuels anxiety. Together we’ll explore healthier coping strategies.
From medical appointments and hormone injections to waiting for test results, treatments take an enormous toll. They can also strain relationships and finances. Our infertility counsellors provide strategies to manage stress so you don’t burn out.
Infertility can push even strong relationships to the breaking point. You may feel resentment, distance, or tension around decisions. This group helps you strengthen communication and reduce the isolation that comes from carrying these challenges alone.
When intimacy becomes scheduled and tied to ovulation charts, it can lose its joy. Many people feel disconnected from their partner and even from their own bodies. Our group offers compassionate space to talk about this without shame.
It can feel like life is speeding ahead for everyone else while you’re stuck in place. Seeing peers start families can intensify feelings of grief and failure. We help reframe these painful comparisons and remind you that you’re not alone.
Comments like these can feel invalidating, as if your pain is just about mindset. This group recognizes that difficulty conceiving is not solved by “relaxing,” but deserves real care, evidence-based strategies, and empathy.
You may love the people in your life and still feel envy, grief, or anger at their pregnancies. This is a normal human response, not a moral failing. Our group provides a safe outlet to process those emotions with infertility emotional support.
The endless cycle of hope and disappointment can lead to exhaustion and despair. It’s easy to feel like you’re running out of strength. This group is here to remind you that you don’t have to carry this alone, and that with the right support, you can rediscover resilience and even moments of peace in the journey.

These are the realities that so many carry in silence. This group was created to give voice to those experiences and help you feel less isolated.

Group Details

What is it?

Our (In)Fertility Support Group is a Therapist-led virtual support and education group for women who are navigating primary infertility. The group aims to normalize the deeply painful and challenging realities of this journey through offering real talk with other women who TRULY get it in a safe, professionally supported environment. This group aims to reduce shame, build community, and help you to build effective coping strategies to manage whatever comes next on your path forward.

How long is it and how much does it cost?

This virtual therapist-led infertility group runs for 8 weeks, meeting for 1.5 hours each week – we offer both evening and weekend group options. The cost is $600 total, paid weekly at $75/week. Most extended healthcare benefits cover group therapy when it is led by a therapist – we always recommend checking with your provider to see if they cover the services of Registered Social Workers (MSW, RSW). Our next group will run on Monday evenings from 7-8:30pm starting February 2nd.

What happens in a session?

Each week balances processing (sharing experiences, receiving support, and validation) with expert therapeutic guidance from a trained infertility counsellor. You’ll leave with both comfort and concrete tools for coping.

How many people are in a group?

The group is capped at 8 participants, small enough to feel safe and intimate, large enough to create community.

What topics are covered?

  • Week 1: Welcome & Laying the Groundwork: Safety, trust, and shared purpose
  • Week 2: The Invisible Grief of Infertility: Naming loss, honouring unseen grief
  • Week 3: Navigating Triggers & Isolation:  You’re not alone
  • Week 4: Identity, Worth & Womanhood: Reclaiming self beyond fertility
  • Week 5: Impact on Relationships & Intimacy: When love gets strained
  • Week 6: Navigating Uncertainty & Decision Fatigue: Sitting with the unknown
  • Week 7: Self-Compassion & Strength: You are more than this struggle
  • Week 8: Closure, Reflection & Carrying Connection Forward: Honouring our shared journey

Most participants actually feel less anxious, not more. Hearing both setbacks and successes provides realistic expectations and reduces the isolation of thinking “it’s just me.” You’ll gain coping tools and witness resilience in others, which can help restore hope.
Everyone’s path is unique, whether unexplained infertility, failed IVF cycles, early pregnancy loss, or difficulty conceiving naturally. What unites members is the emotional impact. Our facilitators help ensure everyone’s experience is valued, and the group remains supportive and inclusive.
