Arsiak Vartenian: The Question I Wish Fertility Clinics Asked Women More…

Arsiak Vartenian, Founder and Host of Smart Is The New Sexy, shared on LinkedIn:

”I wish fertility clinics asked women this question more:

‘How are you actually coping with all of this?’

During infertility, we become fluent in numbers.

Those questions matter. Of course they do.

But I so wish these questions were asked more:

Do you have support outside this clinic?
Do you understand your options, or are you too overwhelmed to process them?
How much more treatment do you feel emotionally capable of doing?
What does another failed cycle mean for you emotionally?
Are you making this decision because it feels right for you, or because you’re terrified of stopping?

I went through 6 IVF cycles.

And one thing infertility taught me is that medical treatment never stays purely medical.

Every result enters your marriage.

A fertility clinic’s job is obviously to treat infertility.

But the person sitting across from the doctor is not just a reproductive system.

She is usually scared. Exhausted.

Trying to absorb enormous amounts of information while making some of the biggest decisions of her life.

I hope fertility care keeps moving toward treating the whole person.
Not only her numbers.

P.S. Did you feel emotionally supported by your fertility clinic?”
