If you are struggling to get pregnant or embarking on a fertility treatment journey, you may be considering a fertility coach. A fertility coach is a professional who will support you and offer critical guidance as you navigate the complex process of fertility treatments.
So, what is like to work with a fertility coach? Let’s look at some of the benefits of the service.
It’s Refreshing
Like many of us who have suffered with infertility, you may not have anyone to talk to who really understands what you are experiencing. It can be beautifully refreshing to find a support person who is not only knowledgeable about fertility but has likely been there themselves. A fertility coach will be educated and informed with the struggle to conceive and be able to offer you the right information, valuable advice (not ‘just relax’), and the opportunity to simple talk about your experience with someone that really gets it.

You Get To Do The Talking
When working with a fertility coach you have the opportunity to really open up about what you have been struggling with. It might be difficult at first to share some of the more difficult feelings, but it is both important and healthy to express those feelings in a safe space. One of the benefits of speaking with a coach is that they will validate your feelings and remind you that it’s okay to feel however you are feeling with compassion and without judgement.
It’s Empowering
You may be feeling as if you are blindly following you medical team’s instructions without really understanding what it happening. Working with a fertility coach can help you feel more in control by having someone who can help you understand each step you are taking in the process. They can not only guide you but work with you to create your own map and offer the tools you need to successfully complete the journey. When working with a coach you will find yourself more knowledgeable and prepared for the big decisions and steps you need to take to build your family

Tailored Guidance
Everyone’s experience is unique and different tools are effective for each of us. Allowing a coach to get to know you and identify what works for you will save a lot of time trying to figure out the best strategies to support you. They know what questions to ask and what discussions to introduce to help find the most effective methods for you to feel in control. A fertility coach can be available for individual questions in the spaces between appointments and procedures so you always feel supported.
Holistic Approach
A fertility coach with a holistic approach will address all sides of your fertility challenges. They can offer guidance with complicated logistics, provide insight for the physical struggles, and support you with the emotional and mental strain. Many fertility coaches incorporate mindset and anxiety reduction techniques to clients with stress and feeling overwhelmed.

Accountability
Consistent sessions with a fertility coach will keep you on track and motivated to reach your goals. They can offer personalized strategies to overcome obstacles along the way and inspire you to keep moving forward. Some coaches include emails between one-on-one calls to remind you of the strategies that were discussed and keep you focused on the tools you are using to manage your treatment plan.
Each fertility coach might have their own individual approach and specialties. It’s important to find a coach whose style and experience aligns with your needs and plan.
