Rachel Tuchman, LMHC joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about the most common emotions that people experience while on a fertility journey, when you should seek support and whether medication is safe for fertility treatments and/or pregnancy.

This time of year can feel like a transition into darkness. But the sun always rises. Look for the light ❤️ You got this. And we are here for you.

You Don’t See The Whole Story… Just a reminder that you never truly know what someone is dealing with.

Loss doesn’t have to “make you stronger. You don’t have to “grow” from the pain. With loss, all there is to do is survive and make it through each day. Don’t worry about doing it “right” because there is no “right.”

My love languages… I think it’s a pretty good list. What do you *really* want right now? What helps when you are experiencing loss and other hardships?

Whether you are struggling to get pregnant. Whether you can’t carry a pregnancy. Whether you lost your baby. Whether the world is falling apart. You may be feeling a sense of helplessness. So much is out of our control. The only thing we can control is how we respond.

This is miscarriage. This is stillbirth. This is infant loss. This is termination for medical reasons. This is molar pregnancy. This is sudden infant death syndrome. This is infertility.

I got a message tonight from a woman who has been trying to have a child for years. She has had too many miscarriages to count, but keeps pushing and keeps trying different doctors, medicines and treatment plans.

A quick reminder to take care of yourself on World Mental Health Day. You are NOT lazy. Trauma and grief are exhausting. So please be gentle with yourself.
