Ep 78 - Infertility and IVF: Marielle's Story
Manage episode 400777763 series 3381122
About 1 and 5 women struggle with infertility. If you haven’t personally struggled with infertility yourself, you likely know someone who has. Infertility can feel all consuming, stressful, and lonely.
Joining Karen on the podcast to talk about her story of infertility and IVF is Marielle Skouras. Marielle is a mom in our community, a licensed marriage and family therapist and we are so excited to announce will be leading our virtual Postpartum Support Group every Wednesday from 3 to 4 pm.
One of the reasons Marielle decided to specialize in working with people struggling with infertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period was because of her own journey walking a similar path.
Marielle shares details of her IVF journey, including:
- how long her and her husband tried before seeking fertility help
- why she shared her journey with friends and family
- the physical and emotional toll of IVF
- what the biggest surprise was in this whole journey
- what advice she would give to someone going through IVF right now
- how did the experience affect her work as a MFT
