Aside from the significant financial investment, there is a huge amount of mental, physical and emotional investment for each cycle. Add to this the challenge of trying to fit everything that a fertility cycle demands of you on a practical level in amongst showing up as you normally would at work and in your everyday life.

Then of course, there is the dream of having your baby slip
through your fingers and heart strings.

It's no wonder that it’s so crushing when a cycle doesn’t
turn out as you’d hoped.
