Infertility can create waves of fluctuating emotions which include grief reactions.  Hormonal changes, uncertainty, fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, endless appointments, procedures, and loss can become all-encompassing, and have a cumulative effect.  This can take a physical and emotional toll on women and their partners.  Life Balance difficulties can also challenge our resources and contribute to confusion, as we juggle our various roles and strive for unrealistic perfection.  Self-Esteem is how we feel about ourselves, and when it is low, it leads to difficulties in setting limits, lack of self-care and self-respect, and reduced assertiveness skills.  This can lead women to sacrifice their emotional and physical well-being.  Monica Ferkin guides women to recognize their inner strength and value, as well as how to cope with the challenges that are unique to us as women.
