The Impact of Infertility, Miscarriage, and Pregnancy Loss

The Impact of Infertility, Miscarriage, and Pregnancy Loss

Infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss are experiences that profoundly affect individuals and families on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels. These struggles often bring waves of grief, guilt, shame, isolation, and even identity crises. For many, the inability to conceive naturally or the devastation of losing a pregnancy disrupts not only their hopes for parenthood but also their sense of self, relationships, and future dreams.

Supporting Mental Health Through Infertility and Loss

Negative tests, the two-week wait, miscarriage, IVF, and pregnancy after loss can bring waves of grief, anxiety, and exhaustion. At CareSync Psych, we meet you with tender, practical, evidence-informed care.

What Makes This So Hard

Real Grief

Loss after miscarriage or failed cycles is real loss. Grief can be complicated, private, and cyclical.

Anxiety & Uncertainty

The two-week wait, procedures, results, and social triggers can keep your nervous system on high alert.

After Loss

FAQs

Is this a “fertility program” or mental health care?+

We provide mental health care tailored to fertility journeys and loss. We are not a fertility clinic but can coordinate with your medical team.

Can I stay on my current meds?+

Often yes. We review benefits, risks, and alternatives together, and align with your OB/GYN or fertility specialist when needed.

Do you support partners?+

Yes. Partners can join sessions (with your consent) to learn support skills and share their own experience.

The Role of Mental Health in Care

This is where compassionate, lived-experience-informed care becomes vital.

The mental health toll can be immense. Studies show higher rates of depression, anxiety, trauma responses, and even complicated grief among individuals who face repeated infertility or loss. Each negative test, failed treatment, or miscarriage can feel like a compounded wound—leaving people vulnerable to cycles of hope and despair.

 

At CareSync Psych, the philosophy is to treat the whole person—validating the psychological weight of infertility while also providing evidence-based psychiatric support. Understanding that the mind and body are deeply interconnected, treatment extends beyond medication management, creating space for emotional healing, lifestyle support, and resilience-building.

Why Are Stories Matter-Jennifer Sanri PMHNP

Jennifer Sanri, ARNP-PMHNP

November 3, 2025 By Jennifer Sanri

Jennifer Sanri, ARNP-PMHNP, embodies this understanding in a deeply personal way. Her journey through years of infertility, failed treatments, painful pregnancy losses, and finally IVF that brought her twins—followed by becoming a mom of three—means she does not approach this topic from a distant clinical stance. She has lived the rollercoaster of hope, heartbreak, and eventual healing. This personal history allows Jennifer to sit with patients in their most vulnerable moments with authentic empathy. She understands: The emptiness of another negative test. The silent grief of miscarriage or pregnancy loss. The strain infertility places on relationships and self-worth. The hope, fear, and uncertainty that accompany treatments like IVF. Now, as a mother who has walked both sides of the journey, she brings a unique blend of professional expertise and heartfelt compassion. For patients, this means being seen not only by a skilled psychiatric nurse practitioner but by someone who has walked through the storm and emerged with profound insight.
