If you feel unsafe right now
Go to your nearest emergency room, or call 911.
Fertility distress is a real medical issue and emergency staff are trained to take it seriously. You do not need to justify being there.
Fertility journeys are some of the hardest emotional experiences a person can live through. About 57% of women and 33% of men in fertility treatment show signs of clinical depression. You are very, very far from alone in this moment.
When you're ready — not before
Once you've talked to someone, our
fertility-trained therapist directory
can match you with ongoing support. But the call or text above comes first.
The Fertility Link is not a crisis service. We surface these resources because they are the right ones to call — we do not staff them. If a line is busy, try the next one. You matter.
