FAQ

Is it normal to feel angry or numb?

Yes. Grief manifests in many ways. Anger, numbness, and sadness are all human reactions to the loss of control and the loss of a plan. Counselling provides a container to process these emotions safely.

What if sex starts to feel like a chore?

This is a very normal response to reproductive stress. We focus on protecting your relationship by creating space for intimacy that is separate from conception, allowing you to reconnect without the pressure of “performing” for a cycle.

How can I support my partner when I feel like it’s my “fault”?

The feeling of guilt is common, but rarely helpful. The best support you can offer is communication. Sharing your feelings and working through the challenge as a team—rather than internalising blame—strengthens your connection.

Does male factor infertility mean I’m not “masculine”?

Absolutely not. Infertility is a medical condition, much like a heart issue or a broken bone. It has no bearing on your strength, your character, or your masculinity. We work to separate your sense of self from the clinical numbers on a chart.
