The unseen load of parenthood can begin well before pregnancy, even back to trying to conceive. The mental and emotional load can be heavy when there is a struggle to conceive.

Here are just a few of the unseen loads' couples can find themselves carrying when trying to conceive

💙Sadness when you get your period
💙All the medications and their side effects
💙Keeping track of all the appointments
💙Unsolicited comments and advice
💙Feeling worried and always overthinking
💙Experiencing miscarriages
💙Being intimate Feeling like a chore
💙Tracking ovulation
💙Being happy for other pregnancies but being sad for you too
💙The financial burden
💙 Feeling as if your body is failing you
💙The uncertainty of it all

It can be tough to cope with this unseen load, to try to find acceptance and not to blame yourself when conception doesn't happen as quickly as you would like.

We want to remind you; you're not facing it alone. You are seen and heard, and we are here to help navigate the complicated feelings around conceiving. If you need help, please reach out at any time.

It’s okay if you found that pregnancy announcement devastating, heavy and upsetting.
It’s not that you’re not happy for them, you’re just sad for you. And those feelings are very valid, and in case no one’s told you today, it’s okay to feel all of them. 💙

Parenting can come in many different forms. Surrogates carry a baby for the intended parent(s).

People can use surrogates for different reasons. Whatever the reason, we are thankful for the surrogates out there who have volunteered their body to support a family.

Surrogates are not paid in Canada but are reimbursed for fees associated with the process.

It can be an emotional process for everyone, with many ups and downs. You don't have to do it alone. We are here!

!Trigger Warning!
Cancer and its treatment can impact an individual's reproductive health. Some types of cancer affect the reproductive organs.
If someone is diagnosed with cancer, fertility preservation may be worth exploring; this refers to when eggs, s***m or tissues are protected so that a person can use them to try and conceive.

Some ways of Fertility preservation may occur:
* Freezing embryos
* Ovarian transposition
* Other types of medical interventions

Other choices may include:
* Donor Eggs
* Donor Embryo
* Surrogagys
* Adoption
* Living child-free or not adding to your family

Navigating a cancer diagnosis and reproductive health is a challenging and emotional time. There are so many layers of grief and unknowns.

We are fortunate to have fertility options for those who may qualify. One reality is that the is no guaranteed outcome when it comes to fertility treatment. Someone can take these steps in hopes of conceiving, which may or may not happen.

The truth is fertility treatment is expensive and can be time-consuming. Some people may be unable to delay cancer treatment or afford fertility preservation.
These are some of the unseen fertility decisions someone with cancer may face.

When we talk about fertility, there are many things that people do not realize about the fertility process. Let's talk about medication.

Most employers do not provide extended benefits that cover the cost of medications. According to Fertility Matters, "The ones that do typically only cover drugs and have an average lifetime coverage of $3,250. Considering the high costs of fertility treatment, this is not nearly enough." The average cost of ONE IVF is $20,000.

If you are an employer and want to support reproductive wellness, invest in benefits that cover the costs.
