In this video, Dr. Sterling offers gentle, validating guidance for navigating the emotions that can arise when your period arrives during your trying-to-conceive journey.
You’ll learn:
-
How to notice and name your emotions (disappointment, relief, anxiety—all valid)
-
Why there’s no such thing as a “wrong” feeling, and how to meet yourself with warm curiosity
-
Simple but powerful questions to ask yourself:
• Can I be kind to myself?
• What do I need right now?
• What feels good in my body? -
How contradictory emotions—grief and relief—can coexist, and why that’s completely normal
-
A beautiful community tip: Plan a soft landing ritual (like a massage, coffee date, or gift) around the time your period may come
Whether this cycle brought grief, frustration, or just plain exhaustion, this video reminds you that you’re not alone—and you don’t have to muscle through this without care.
