Anna Figiel: What Happens When Fertility Treatment Ends Without the Outcome Someone Has Hoped For?

Anna Figiel, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at Irresist.io, shared on LinkedIn:

” ‘When fertility treatments fail, society has no words, only silence.’

— Le Monde, January 4, 2026

An article published in Le Monde brings attention to something we rarely talk about openly: what happens when fertility treatment ends without the outcome someone has hoped for?

We often talk about IVF through medical advances, treatment options and success rates. Much less attention is given to the people whose journeys involve repeated disappointments, loss and, eventually, the difficult decision to stop trying.

But the end of treatment does not necessarily mean the end of its emotional impact.

Trauma is not simply what happened to someone. It is also what remains within a person after difficult experiences, sometimes shaping their sense of safety, relationships and how they approach future situations, including healthcare.

These are stories that deserve to be heard and better understood.

This is the perspective I would like to explore together with Dr. Diana Kayal in our upcoming webinar, where we will discuss the relationship between trauma, infertility and the patient journey.

I hope you will join us.
