Overcome Fertility Stress

A psychologist developed program for the hardest part of fertility treatment: the part in your head.

Q: Is this a substitute for seeing a psychologist?

No. It is structured CBT you can start immediately, without a waiting list. If you have or need individual care, the program works well alongside it, and many therapists use structured programs like this between sessions.

Q: Does my partner do it with me?

The program is designed for individual use and includes modules on relationships and communication. Many people share what they learn, and some partners choose to enrol separately.

Structured, private, self paced CBT for infertility related stress. Tested in a randomized controlled trial. No waiting list, no referral, no appointment. You can start tonight.

A short introduction to Overcome Fertility Stress.

Is this you?

You're doing everything right, and it still hurts.

→ The two week wait consumes you. You analyse every twinge and reread the same forum threads at 2am.
→ Every pregnancy announcement stings, and then you feel guilty for feeling that way.
→ You and your partner are grieving on different schedules, and it's getting harder to talk about.
→ You've stopped seeing friends. Some conversations just cost too much right now.
→ You're doing everything right, and it still isn't working.

None of this means something is wrong with you. It means you're carrying something heavy without support.

The evidence

Tested in two published trials.

Overcome Fertility Stress has been evaluated in two published trials: a 2023 feasibility study and a randomized controlled trial published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. In the trial, women using the program showed a significant reduction in infertility related stress, dropping 22.85 points on average on the Fertility Problem Inventory, while the waitlist control group showed no significant change. The pre to post effect size was large (Cohen's d = 1.70). It comes from a platform with 14 peer reviewed publications built over nearly two decades, two of them cited below.
