Why seek support from the start of your fertility treatment?
Fertility treatments open the door to parenthood for individuals and families who cannot conceive naturally — whether for medical or personal reasons. But what most people imagine as an intimate milestone becomes a medical process involving multiple professionals, and results do not always come as quickly as everyone hopes. On top of that, many patients and couples carry an emotional history that deserves attention. Fertility counseling from the very beginning helps make the journey calmer and more fulfilling:
- Setting realistic expectations for the process.
- Creating a safe space to express your emotions.
- Working through any grief that may arise, so you can face each new step with greater peace of mind.
- Managing stress and anxiety symptoms.
- Providing effective support for couples.
- Preparing for the two-week wait (TWW).
- Building communication tools for conversations with family and friends.
Our experience shows that the emotional strain and psychological stress patients and their partners may experience is significantly eased when they have the right information about the process and receive appropriate emotional guidance from the start and throughout treatment, working as a team with their clinical professionals. That is why at Love Fertility Clinic we consider it essential to offer a dedicated fertility counseling service led by Marta Villarreal, a specialist with extensive experience.
Fertility counseling services included in your treatment
- Initial psychological orientation session with our psychologist from your very first appointment. What it gives you:
- The ability to recognise and normalise mixed feelings towards the treatment, your situation, your partner, and more.
- Practical tools to manage the process in a more positive way.
- Better expectation management.
- Emotional support sessions when there is a change of treatment plan, repeated implantation failure, or pregnancy loss.
- Additional sessions whenever your doctor recommends it or you feel the need.
- Workshops for different patient profiles and family types — egg-donation journeys, same-sex female couples, single mothers by choice — covering topics such as the role of gamete donors, and when or how to talk to children about their origins. These workshops are organised in partnership with Colorful Families, an association with a team of psychologists specialising in children, adolescents, families, diversity, assisted reproduction, and origin disclosure, with over 9 years of experience.
You are not alone in this process. The Love Fertility team will give you the strength and support you need to complete the journey successfully and welcome your baby home with the least emotional burden possible. Together, we will make it happen!
Additional support for special circumstances: Therapy
In cases where symptoms become persistent and cause significant psychological distress, therapy may be initiated — either prescribed by the clinic’s psychologist or requested by the patient.
At the Centro de psicología y psicoterapia Argensola, a centre that collaborates with Love Fertility Clinic, our patients can be seen by highly qualified professionals with extensive experience and benefit from special rates.
