Cove Collective:
An Always-On Peer-Led Infertility Support Community
Cove Collective is an exclusive text-based peer-led infertility support group designed as a vibrant community, not as a scheduled program, and it’s available for you when you need it.
Support isn’t limited by schedules, geography, or facilitation style. People can engage when they need to, step back when they don’t, and return without starting over or performing their pain in public.
As a paid infertility support community, Cove Collective is intentionally maintained. Connection doesn’t depend on location, luck, or volume. Membership is curated. Conversations are moderated. Context carries over time. People remember what you’ve shared before — because everyone here is navigating infertility now.
Anonymity at Cove is intentional and protected. Members can use pseudonyms and engage honestly without worrying about being identified, misrepresented, or misled. Community trust is actively stewarded, because emotional support only works when people feel safe returning.
What This Page Covers
This page explains what Cove Collective is, how support works, and how it differs from other infertility support options — so you can decide whether it’s the right fit for you.
What Cove Collective Is
Cove Collective is the place you go when you don’t want to make a plan — you just want somewhere to be.
It’s there when something happens and you need to say it out loud.
It’s also there on the quieter days, when nothing is changing but it’s still taking up space in your head.
People use Cove in different ways. Some pop in to read and feel less alone. Some vent. Some joke. Some disappear for a bit and come back without explaining where they’ve been. All of that is normal here.
Conversations aren’t scheduled, and there’s no expectation to “share” on cue. You don’t have to summarize your story or catch anyone up. Over time, people know the context — the shorthand, the history, the unspoken stuff — and that’s when it starts to feel easier to show up.
What makes Cove different isn’t volume or constant activity. It’s the quality of the room. It’s being around people who understand the emotional landscape of infertility without needing it spelled out. Sometimes that looks like a real conversation. Sometimes it’s a quick message that lands exactly right. Sometimes it’s humor that only works because everyone gets what’s underneath.
You can engage as much or as little as you want. Step back when you need to. Come back when you’re ready. Nothing here is all-or-nothing.
Cove Collective isn’t here to push you to just relax. It exists to make the inability to do so easier to live with — with better company.

What Sets Cove Collective Apart
This isn’t a Zoom meeting or another appointment on your already-packed calendar.
There are no awkward silences, no pressure to share, and no expectation to show up a certain way. Cove offers always-on, text-based peer support in a private, carefully maintained community of people sharing your experience.This isn’t a public internet forum or social media group.
Because membership is paid and exclusive, you can share without spiraling into other people’s treatment outcomes, desperately hoping for follow-up on a years-old post, or wondering whether someone you know will recognize your name.It was built from lived experience.
We’ve been part of infertility communities long enough to know what people want, what’s missing, what helps, and what doesn’t. Cove Collective was built from that knowledge, with the goal of creating something people could return to again and again.

Conversations often include members navigating medicated treatment cycles, IUI and IVF, unexplained infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), donor conception, pregnancy loss, surrogacy, single parenthood, LGBTQIA+ family building, pregnancy after infertility, parenting after infertility, and related experiences.

No. Cove Collective provides peer-led emotional support and does not replace medical care, therapy, or mental health treatment. It is designed to complement — not substitute — professional care.

No single community can represent every infertility experience. Cove Collective brings together people navigating a wide range of diagnoses and paths, but participation is based on shared presence — not comparison or universal outcomes. Members are encouraged to engage in ways that feel supportive rather than prescriptive.
