FAQ: Secondary Infertility Therapy With a Therapist for Women
What is secondary infertility and when should I seek therapy?
Secondary infertility is the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after previously having a child. It may involve difficulty getting pregnant, recurrent pregnancy loss, or needing fertility treatment such as IVF after conceiving without assistance before.
If you’re experiencing guilt, anxiety, jealousy, treatment fatigue, or decision paralysis, secondary infertility therapy can help you process the emotional weight — not just the medical logistics.
Is it normal to feel guilty during secondary infertility?
Yes. Very normal.
Many women feel ashamed for wanting another child when they already have one. You might question whether you’re being selfish or ungrateful.
A therapist for women who specializes in infertility understands that gratitude and grief can coexist. Therapy helps separate shame from longing so you can respond to yourself with compassion instead of criticism.
Can therapy help while I’m doing IVF for secondary infertility?
Absolutely.
Secondary infertility during IVF often means juggling injections, appointments, and emotional ups and downs while actively parenting. It can feel relentless.
Therapy can help you:
Manage anxiety during treatment cycles
Cope with pregnancy announcements
Reduce comparison with friends growing their families
Protect your partnership
Stay present with the child you have
You deserve support during IVF — not just endurance.
How do I know when to stop trying for another baby?
This is one of the most painful questions in secondary infertility.
Therapy doesn’t push you toward continuing treatment or stopping. Instead, it helps you make a values-aligned decision so that whatever path you choose feels intentional — not reactive or pressured.
Working with a therapist for women during this crossroads can help you move forward with steadiness rather than regret.
Is secondary infertility therapy only for women?
While much of this work centers on women’s emotional experiences, couples therapy is also available. Secondary infertility affects partnerships, parenting dynamics, and family systems — not just one person.
