I just wanted to say that I think it's OK to declare certain topics off the table in therapy. Clients should be able to decide that they don't want to talk about a particular topic unless they're the ones who bring it up (maybe with a few exceptions, but I can't see infertility as one of them).
For example, I have an agreement with my therapist that he's not going to bring up the idea of reducing sessions (aside from, say, times he's away/unable to meet on a particular day)--that it's on me to bring up when I'm ready. And there are a few other topics, too, where it's only if I bring it up. Like forgiving my mother for some stuff from childhood (as he pushed for that a couple times and it went very poorly).
