Frequently asked questions

A non-medical support person who helps you feel less alone, more organized, and more resourced through IVF. Support works alongside your clinic, doctor, and therapist and never replaces them.

Because IVF can make ordinary life feel like it has been taken over: appointments, medication instructions, financial decisions, portal messages, hope, grief, jealousy, waiting, and questions you only think of after the appointment ends. Even with a supportive partner there is often a weight only you — and someone who has gone through it — can understand. I’ve been there, feeling a gap in care that my clinic was unable to solve for me.

If you become pregnant, we can talk through what kind of support would feel most helpful next. When appropriate, I can help you explore options for a birth doula or another warm handoff, so you continue to feel held and supported as your care needs change.
