A bilingual online self-help app - MyJourney - has been developed for individuals faced with an unfulfilled wish for children. The specific aim of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility, defined here as determining whether the intervention itself and the study procedures are appropriate for further evaluation, and how users react to the intervention, which will inform the implementation of a future full scale RCT to evaluate MyJourney\'s efficacy. This RCT will be a two arm, parallel-group, non-blind feasibility trial with 1:1 allocation to the intervention group (immediate access to MyJourney) or waitlist control group (receives access to MyJourney after 10 weeks). A minimum number of 152 individuals will be enrolled in this study. Once participants have met the eligibility criteria and completed the baseline assessment, they will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the intervention group or the waitlist control group. The sample will be recruited online. Participation in this study will last 10 weeks for the waitlist group and 6 months for the intervention group. Participants in both groups will be invited to complete a baseline assessment (online survey) and a follow-up assessment (online survey) at 10-weeks post baseline. The intervention group will also be invited to complete another follow-up assessment at 6-months post baseline. Assessments will include self-report questionnaires to cover socio-demographic information (baseline only), psychological mediators (mechanisms of change) (baseline and 10-week follow-up), psychological outcome questionnaires (baseline, 10-week and 6-month follow up), and questions about acceptability and feasibility (10-week and 6-month follow up).
