Infertility Unfiltered: The Emotional Side of Infertility with Psychologist Andy Leggat

What does it really mean to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatment, not just physically, but mentally and relationally?

This week, we’re joined by Andy Leggat, a registered Health Psychologist and Fertility Counsellor with over 15 years of clinical experience. Andy has worked extensively with individuals and couples dealing with reproductive health challenges, including infertility, gynaecological pain, cancer, and chronic conditions.

We dive deep into the emotional toll of fertility treatment, how to support a partner through the process, and why secondary infertility can come with its own set of complexities. Andy also shares insights on what not to say to a friend going through it, how to hold space for grief and hope at the same time, and what true support looks like.
