They also explore how crucial conversations with loved ones can impact the fertility experience, and how systemic barriers in healthcare make the process even harder for patients. Beyond his personal story, they dive into the work Joe has done since infertility, advocating for greater access to fertility care, better patient support, and a more equitable healthcare system. Listen to the full episode here: Through Grain Fertility, Joe has worked to channel his experiences into helping other patients navigate the complexities of fertility treatment—because no one should have to go through this alone.

Maintaining A Positive Mindset Is Hard, But Essential One of the hardest, but most important things you can do when working through fertility issues is maintaining a positive mindset. Fertility journey's are never linear and often come with disappointment, unexpected twists, and failure. Through it all, trying to remain positive and optimistic can be difficult. To help, here are three tricks that can quickly improve your outlook and help keep your positive fertility mindset. It can be hard to stay positive during fertility treatment. Stop Thinking of Yourself as Infertile Labels can be dangerous. They may not seem terribly important on the surface, but they can carry implication and subtext. Unfortunately, your subconscious brain is tuned into it all. Being labeled "infertile" brings implications that you are broken, your body doesn't work right, and that you never going to be able to have a child. Why would you want to carry all of that around? Do we label cancer patients or diabetics this way? Both are diseases like infertility, yet society has forced a stigma that often surrounds us throughout our journey. So, how do you change your thinking? First, a quite from Dr. Randine Lewis' book, The Infertility Cure. “There is no such thing as infertility; it is a myth! Rarely have I met a woman of childbearing age with all her reproductive organs intact who isn’t capable of bearing children. As long as the anatomical structures are present, a medical diagnosis of “infertility” is often a fallacy. Many factors can cause a woman to have difficulty conceiving, but once these factors are overcome and a woman’s body is restored to health, conception can occur naturally.” Instead of telling yourself that you are infertile, reassure yourself that you simply need help. It might take you and your doctors a few tries to figure out exactly how to help you achieve your goal, but eventually you will get there. Reframe "Trying to Conceive" or "Trying to Have a Baby" In Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strike Back, Master Yoda famously says "Do. Or do not. There is no try." Trying something means you might succeed but also means you may fail. Just like with labels, your brain subconsciously picks up on that negativity, which can create hesitancy, fear, stress, and other negative thoughts. While we know insurance and doctors often use the term "trying to conceive" and even within the infertility community, TTC is used all of the time, try to think about "working towards conceiving" or "working toward having a baby." The message your mind and body becomes that everything in your journey is a positive step in the right direction, bringing you closer to your goal. Make a Fertility Playlist This may sound silly but music is scientifically proven to impact our moods. Just Google "Happiest Songs According to Science," listen to them, and see how you feel. Odds are you know what song you want to listen to when you feel sad, or want to do an extra rep at the gym, or that tune that just makes you get up out of your seat and dance. Making a playlist, as cheesy as it sounds, can help you create a more positive fertility mindset. So, here are a few songs that science says are the happiest songs and some songs chosen by Becky Ackerman, founder of Lily & Bee Fertility Coaching: ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ – Queen ‘Dancing Queen’ – ABBA ‘Good Vibrations’ – The Beach Boys ‘Uptown Girl’ – Billie Joel ‘Eye of the Tiger’ – Survivor ‘I’m a Believer’ – The Monkees ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ – Cyndi Lauper ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ – Bon Jovi ‘I Will Survive’ – Gloria Gaynor ‘Walking on Sunshine’ – Katrina & The Waves 'Roar'—Katy Perry 'Fight Song'—Rachel Platten 'I Will Survive'—Gloria Gaynor 'Unstoppable'—Sia 'Brave'—Sara Bareilles 'This Is Me'—The Greatest Showman soundtrack You Got This. But Grain Fertility Can Help. Improving your fertility mindset can help you manage the stress and uncertainty that comes with fertility treatment. However, we know at Grain Fertility, sometimes you need a little extra help. This is where we come in. Whether it is having a fertility nurse walk you through your protocol, help with medication storage, or you just want someone to talk through it all, our Patient Empowerment Coaches are here to support you in any way we can.

Yet, cultivating gratitude—even during this challenging time—can offer moments of calm and clarity. Research supports the idea that gratitude practices can improve emotional well-being and resilience, providing a way to shift focus from what feels missing to what still holds meaning and positivity in your life. One of the most powerful tools to nurture gratitude is journaling. A fertility journal can become a sanctuary for reflection, helping you acknowledge progress, express emotions, and find joy in unexpected places. Below are 15 thoughtfully crafted prompts to guide your journaling journey, each designed to help you cultivate gratitude amid the complexities of infertility. Journaling can help throughout your fertility journey. Fertility Journal Prompts to Help Cultivate Gratitude Gratitude might feel like an impossible task when you're facing the challenges of infertility, but it's a powerful way to support your emotional well-being. By focusing on positive aspects of your life, no matter how small, you can foster resilience, build connections, and find moments of peace. To get started, grab your fertility journal and choose from these prompts to help cultivate gratitude: What made you smile or brought you joy today? Reflect on even the smallest sources of happiness that brightened your day. What is a quality in yourself that you appreciate? Celebrate the traits that make you uniquely strong. Who are the supportive people in your life? Think about how they’ve shown care and understanding during your fertility journey. What in nature inspires you? Describe something beautiful in nature and why it resonates with you. What brings you joy in your relationship(s)? Focus on the moments of connection and comfort you share with your partner or loved ones. How have you shown resilience? Consider the strength you’ve discovered within yourself during this journey. Is there a special place you cherish? Reflect on the meaning it holds and the experiences you’ve had there. What signs of progress have you noticed? Recognize small victories and what keeps you motivated to continue. What lessons have you learned? Explore how the challenges of infertility have taught you valuable life lessons and can be applied to other aspects of your life. What creative work has impacted you? Recall a book, movie, or piece of art that has brought you comfort or inspiration. What do you appreciate about your body? Celebrate aspects of your physical health, even amidst fertility challenges. What future moments bring you joy? Picture aspects of your envisioned future that fill you with hope and gratitude. What skills or talents enrich your life? Reflect on your abilities and the role they play in your happiness. Have you received exceptional care? Think about the professionals who’ve supported you and what made their care special. What are your favorite quotes? Reflect on why they resonate and how they guide or comfort you. Each of these prompts is a step toward shifting your mindset, uncovering sources of gratitude, and embracing resilience. Whether you write for a few minutes or dive deeply into reflection, your journal can become a vital tool in navigating the emotional landscape of infertility.

Navigating fertility challenges is an emotional and complex experience, which makes finding gratitude during infertility hard. The ups and downs can feel overwhelming, leaving little room for positivity. Amid this, the concept of gratitude might seem out of reach. How can you possibly feel grateful when your journey feels so heavy? Your fertility journey can be overwhelming, physically and emotionally, making it hard to feel gratitude. The truth is, sometimes gratitude isn’t immediately accessible—and that’s okay. Taking a break from forcing positivity is perfectly valid. However, if you’re looking for a way to shift your perspective and introduce moments of lightness into your journey, practicing gratitude may offer relief. This post explores how gratitude can serve as a powerful tool during your fertility journey, offering insights into its benefits and practical ways to incorporate it into your life. What Does Gratitude Really Mean? At its core, gratitude is about recognizing and appreciating the positive aspects of life—no matter how small they might seem. While the dictionary defines it as "a kindly feeling because of a favor received," gratitude extends far beyond saying “thank you.” It’s about cultivating awareness and appreciation, even in life’s quieter moments. Why Does Gratitude Matter During Fertility Challenges? Research highlights the profound impact of gratitude on mental and emotional well-being. Here are five ways it can support you during your fertility journey: A Coping Mechanism: Fertility struggles often come with feelings of loss and disappointment. Gratitude allows you to shift focus from what’s missing to what remains meaningful in your life, creating a sense of balance. Emotional Resilience: The rollercoaster of emotions—from sadness to jealousy—can be exhausting. Gratitude helps you uncover moments of joy and connection, fostering emotional strength. Stronger Relationships: Fertility challenges can strain relationships. Expressing gratitude for the love and support from your partner, family, or friends can strengthen those bonds. Self-Compassion: It’s easy to be hard on yourself during this journey. Gratitude encourages kindness toward yourself, reminding you of your resilience and worth. Staying Present: Gratitude is a form of mindfulness that anchors you in the present moment. This practice can reduce stress and help you navigate treatments and uncertainty with greater calm. How to Cultivate Gratitude in Your Daily Life Incorporating gratitude doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Here are simple practices to get started: Gratitude Journal: Write down one or two things you’re grateful for each day. These can be small, like enjoying your favorite tea, or big, like a meaningful conversation. Gratitude Jar: Drop notes of gratitude into a jar throughout the week and revisit them during tougher moments. Three Good Things Exercise: Before bed, reflect on three positive things that happened during the day, no matter how small. Mindful Appreciation: Use daily routines, like cooking or walking, as opportunities to focus on things you appreciate in the moment. Gratitude Meditation: Find guided meditations online or create your own by focusing on aspects of life you’re thankful for. Gratitude Walk: Take a mindful walk, paying attention to nature, the weather, or simply the ability to move your body. Gratitude Apps: Download apps designed to offer prompts, quotes, and encouragement to build a gratitude habit. The key is consistency. Even dedicating just a few minutes daily can bring noticeable shifts to your mindset, reducing stress and fostering a more positive outlook. Gratitude takes many shapes and can be achieved many ways. Embracing Gratitude on Your Fertility Journey Fertility challenges test even the strongest among us, and it’s okay to acknowledge how hard it is. Gratitude doesn’t dismiss the difficulty of your journey—it complements it by providing space for appreciation alongside the struggle. At Grain Fertility, we understand the emotional toll of fertility treatment. Our Patient Empowerment Coaches are here to help you navigate the journey with empathy and support. Together, we can create a plan to help you feel empowered and connected every step of the way. Grain Fertility coaches can help support you during your fertility journey.

With her permission, we’re thrilled to share her insights with you. Navigating fertility treatment can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster. A fertility vision board offers a creative, empowering way to gain clarity, set actionable goals, and nurture positivity during your journey. Sometimes, we don't know where our journey takes us but we should take in the beauty around us. The Benefits of a Fertility Vision Board Turning Intentions into Actionable Steps While your ultimate goal might be to have a baby, a fertility vision board helps break that aspiration into smaller, actionable steps that you can control. This clarity can provide direction and a renewed sense of purpose. Empowering Your Mindset By focusing on achievable goals and positive imagery, vision boards reinforce a sense of agency and optimism, essential for emotional well-being during fertility treatments. Promoting Relaxation and Stress Relief The act of creating your vision board can be meditative, offering a much- needed respite from the challenges of infertility. Encouraging Positive Thinking Surrounding yourself with affirming images and words helps shift your mindset toward gratitude, hope, and a focus on what’s within your control. How to Create Your Fertility Vision Board Gather Your Supplies You’ll need a poster board, magazines, scissors, glue, and any optional decorations like markers or stickers. Gather your supplies and a take a moment to think through your vision board. Reflect and Plan Spend some time thinking about your goals and values. Becky suggests asking questions such as: What steps can I take to feel good about myself during this journey? What activities bring me joy or relaxation? How can I optimize my fertility naturally? Find and Collect Inspiring Images and Words Search for visuals and phrases that resonate with your reflections. You can cut these from magazines, print them, or write them out yourself. Design Your Board Arrange your materials on the board in a way that feels meaningful and inspiring. Once you’re happy with the layout, glue everything down. Display Your Vision Board Place your finished vision board somewhere visible as a daily reminder of your intentions and the steps you’re taking toward your goals. Your vision board doesn't have to be literal, but reflect your larger goals and desires. Sometimes posting pictures of babies can actually be harmful rather than focusing on the mindfulness of the board. Remember, your fertility vision board is uniquely yours—there’s no right or wrong way to create it. Whether it’s a reflection of self-care, actionable goals, or activities that bring you joy, the process of crafting your vision board can help you find clarity, peace, and empowerment. Creating a fertility vision board is a powerful step toward finding clarity and reducing stress during your journey. To complement this mindfulness approach, Grain Fertility offers Patient Empowerment Coaching, designed to provide the personalized support and guidance you need. Our coaches are trained fertility experts who are here to help you navigate every aspect of your treatment journey—whether it's setting actionable goals, managing stress, or answering your questions.

The Comparison Trap In a world where we are constantly exposed to others' lives—whether through social media, family gatherings, or conversations with friends—it’s easy to fall into the habit of comparison. For those navigating fertility treatment, this can be especially challenging and emotionally draining. But here's the truth: your fertility journey is unique, and it deserves to be honored as such. In this post, we’ll explore why comparison happens, why it’s harmful during your fertility journey, and how you can embrace your own path with confidence and grace. We often find ourselves asking why can't we have what others have? Why Do We Compare Ourselves to Others? It’s human nature to compare—it’s how we gauge progress and find connection. However, the reasons behind comparison often stem from societal pressures, fears, or insecurities, including: The Fear of Being Left Behind: Watching friends or family members grow their families can make you feel isolated, as if you're missing out on milestones others are effortlessly achieving. Societal Expectations: Cultural norms often impose arbitrary timelines or ideals, amplifying the sense of urgency around fertility and family-building. Fear of Judgment: Concerns about what others think can lead you to measure your progress against their perceived successes, even when those comparisons are unhelpful. The Social Media Effect: Platforms like Instagram and Facebook often showcase only the highlights of people’s lives. Comparing your reality to someone else’s carefully curated moments can make your journey feel inadequate. Why Comparison Can Harm Your Fertility Journey When you constantly compare yourself to others, it can create unnecessary stress, anxiety, and even feelings of failure. This emotional weight can distract you from your goals and lead to decision paralysis as you try to align your choices with external expectations. Fertility is not a race or a competition—it’s a deeply personal experience that evolves in its own time and way. How to Break Free from the Comparison Trap If you’ve been caught in the cycle of comparison, take heart: there are tangible ways to refocus and reclaim your journey. Let Go of External Expectations: Recognize that societal norms or family opinions don’t define your path. Focus on what matters most to you and your partner. Pro Tip: Open communication with loved ones can set healthy boundaries and create a more supportive environment. Reassess Your Social Media Habits: Take control of what you consume online. Follow accounts that inspire and uplift you, and consider stepping away from platforms that trigger negative feelings. Pro Tip: Replace screen time with activities that bring you joy, like reading, crafting, or spending time in nature. We have all doomed scrolled before. But it can be harmful to our mental health. Focus Inward: Celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Acknowledge the strength and resilience you bring to your journey. Pro Tip: Journaling or mindfulness exercises can help you stay grounded and appreciate your own growth. Embrace Your Unique Journey Breaking free from comparison isn’t easy, but it’s worth the effort. By focusing inward and silencing the external noise, you can create a journey that reflects your truth and values. Remember, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. At Grain Fertility, our Patient Empowerment Coaches are here to support you every step of the way. With personalized guidance and compassionate care, we’ll help you manage challenges, reduce stress, and stay centered on what truly matters: your unique path to parenthood.

Beyond the physical and emotional toll, the financial burden can be staggering. With U.S. IVF cycles costing $15,000–$30,000, and up to 35% of that for medications, unaffordable costs can delay or deny dreams of parenthood. IVF Medications can cost patients thousands of dollars and are one of the most overwhelming parts of the journey. What is ILMEDS ILMEDS , an Israeli-based international pharmacy was born from a profound recognition; everyone should have the right, rather than privilege, to access affordable medication.

These savings can be the difference between continuing treatment or putting dreams on hold. This isn’t just about money—it’s about hope. Is Ordering Through ILMEDS Safe? Absolutely! All ILMEDS medications come from reputable manufacturers and meet strict international safety standards. ILMEDS also complies with FDA guidelines, providing a maximum three-month supply per order. Thanks to Israel’s strict pharmaceutical pricing regulations and status as a Tier 1 (a designation shared by the US, Canada, Germany, and others), ILMEDS offers the same brand-name fertility medications at much lower costs.

Expert Guidance: Your Patient Empowerment Coach—a trained fertility nurse—can review your treatment plan with you, explain next steps, and answer questions in plain language. This support helps remove confusion and builds confidence in your decisions. Emotional Support: Our coaches understand the emotional toll of fertility treatments. They’re here to listen, provide reassurance, and offer strategies for coping with the ups and downs of the process. The combination of Grain Fertility’s intuitive app and personalized coaching transforms how patients approach fertility care. Grain Fertility's coaches can help support you on your fertility journey. For instance, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by paperwork or unsure what records are most important, your coach can help you prioritize what to gather and how to organize it within the app. Together, you’ll create a system that works for you, giving you more time and energy to focus on what matters most. Fertility treatments are challenging, but you don’t have to face them alone. Grain Fertility’s blend of technology and human connection is here to empower you, simplify your journey, and provide the support you deserve.
