10 to 15% of couples experience infertility each year.  Research shows that the diagnosis of infertility is comparable to that of a life-threatening medical illness, such as cancer, in terms of the emotional impact it has.  It's not surprising that many women, even those who have coped well through past adversities, find themselves feeling overwhelmed.

Before you became a mother, you may have had some friends who already were mothers or other friends who were planning on starting a family soon.  Isn’t it funny how now that you have a baby, no one is around ever?  Ok maybe not ever, but it can feel that way when you’re sitting at home with your newborn, staring at the same 4 walls in your home again.
