Infertility: The Emotional, Physical & Relationship Toll of Fertility Treatments - Dr. Andrea Liner

Send us Fan Mail

Infertility affects one in eight couples — and the emotional devastation of that journey is something most people are completely unprepared for and profoundly undersupported through. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, sits down with Dr. Andrea Liner, reproductive psychologist, to have the honest, unflinching conversation about infertility that most clinical settings never make space for. Dr. Liner brings both her professional expertise and her own deeply personal experience with IVF to a discussion that validates the full complexity of what individuals and couples go through on the path to parenthood. Topics covered: the emotional stages of infertility and how they differ for individuals versus couples, how infertility affects identity, self-worth, and the relationship between partners, the psychological toll of IVF and fertility treatments and how to protect your mental health through the process, communication strategies for couples navigating infertility together without growing apart, coping strategies for managing grief, uncertainty, and hope simultaneously, the importance of seeking support and why so many people wait too long to ask for help, knowing when and how to seek a second opinion in your fertility care, and practical tools for maintaining emotional resilience and relational connection throughout the fertility journey.
