For many women and families struggling to get pregnant, IVF and similar fertility treatments offer an opportunity to finally become parents. The concept may seem like a simple answer… if you can’t get pregnant, you “just do IVF”, but anyone who has experienced the complex and difficult path of fertility treatments will quickly explain that it’s significantly more complicated than that.

If you are finding yourself distracted or struggling in your professional life while navigating the complexities of IVF and fertility treatments, you are not alone.  In fact, a recent survey conducted by Carrot and Resolve showed that over 59% of individuals struggling to conceive admitted that it impacts their work performance.  Additionally, 74% of respondents shared that they spent time researching fertility treatments and family building while at the office.  This won’t come as a surprise to anyone who has experienced this sort of difficulty.  Struggling to get pregnant can be overwhelming and all consuming.  Given the physical and emotional demands for someone trying to get pregnant, the stress is bound to leak into their professional life.
