Implications of Infertility

We don’t need to tell you that, for most couples, infertility is more than just a physical condition. A diagnosis of infertility often carries intense emotional and social burdens as well. Infertile couples commonly experience anger and frustration, a sense of a loss of control, isolation from friends and family, depression, and grief. These emotions may at times seem overwhelming – and the inevitable outcome is stress. 

That’s why you are here – and that’s where we can help. Here we outline some of the common experiences and issues encountered by couples coming to terms with their infertility, and ways to help you cope.

We hope that exploring these experiences will help you in coping with your own feelings and in coming to a resolution that is right for you. 

Please bear in mind that this advice is not meant to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. As always, you should make decisions regarding your healthcare in consultation with a physician who understands your specific situation.
