Teen infertility diagnosis: One woman's decade-long journey from grief to hope

Laura experienced significant psychological trauma from early infertility diagnosis, including isolation, unsafe coping behaviors, and prolonged grief affecting her teenage years and early adulthood.

At sixteen, Laura Fairlie received a diagnosis that quietly dismantled the future she had assumed was hers — a rare congenital condition called MRKH, which meant she would never carry a child. Over the decade that followed, she moved through grief, crisis, and unexpected hope, learning not only how to absorb loss but how to build a life around it. Her story, unfolding in Perth, Australia, is both a personal reckoning and a quiet argument for the kind of specialized psychological care that rarely exists for young people navigating infertility at the threshold of identity.
