Infertility & Loss Support Group

Trying to navigate life after a miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or when struggling with infertility, can feel terribly lonely and extremely difficult.
Our hosts are women like you, who’ve had similar struggles and are hoping to now offer you support in your journey. The goals of our support group are to offer a safe space for you to share your feelings, connect you with others going through similar situations, to help you feel less alone and more understood.
We are a peer-led, volunteer-based support group. We are strong believers that no one should suffer alone and would love to support you along your journey.

  • Jesse Sutherland
    Jesse Sutherland is an infertility warrior and loss mom who lives in Royal Oak with her loving husband, Nick; rescue pup, Clyne; double rainbow baby, Gus; and now, their latest addition, Otto. Jesse and her husband struggled for almost 4 years (and endured two first-trimester losses) before she was able to have a full-term pregnancy. She’s an expert at peeing on sticks and has been through medicated cycles, IUIs, IVF and all sorts of other voodoo magic to try to conceive. Jesse is incredibly passionate about helping to build a community for those struggling. She wishes no one had to be part of this crappy club, but, since she knows she can’t change that, she’s hoping to help others find understanding and belonging amongst others struggling.
  • Steffanie Marshall Writer
    Steffanie Marshall is a wife, Detroit Mom writer, and fellow infertility and loss survivor.  After a year of taking various supplements, charting temperatures, and peeing on ovulation sticks she was finally diagnosed with infertility. The next three years were filled with numerous medicated cycles, an ectopic pregnancy, five rounds of IVF, and four miscarriages before being blessed with three rainbow babies - Jonathan, Nicholas & Lucas. Throughout her four years of infertility, she felt extremely isolated. She turned to support groups to help cope with her feelings of grief and hopelessness. Steffanie is passionate about paying it forward by building a community to support our local infertility warriors and loss mamas. No one should struggle alone.
