Fertility Advocate Support While You Try to Conceive
A fertility advocate supports you while you try to grow your family. Marcelline David is a certified fertility advocate in Brooklyn, and she offers a caring ear, practical help and encouragement.
What does a fertility advocate do?
A fertility advocate walks beside you through the ups and downs of trying to conceive. For example, she can help you prepare questions for appointments. She can also help you keep track of dates, tests and next steps.
Most of all, she gives emotional support, because trying to conceive can feel lonely. That is why we remind you that you are not alone.
How this support can help
- A calm space to talk about your feelings.
- Help preparing for doctor and clinic visits.
- Support during testing and treatment cycles.
- Encouragement for you as well as your partner.
- Also, connection to trusted resources.
Our support is non-medical. Therefore, we never replace your doctor or fertility clinic. Instead, we help you feel more prepared and supported.
Fertility advocate support during treatment
Treatment can bring a lot of waiting, especially between steps. Then comes hope, and sometimes disappointment. Through each step, we listen and help you care for yourself. You can also find education and support groups through RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association.
From fertility to birth and beyond
Because Marcelline is also a labor and birth doula and a postpartum doula, she can stay with you as your journey continues. If a loss happens along the way, our loss support is here, too.
