The pain of infertility touches the deepest part of you. The many tests and medical procedures you may
undergo, exposing the most intimate aspects of your lives, can try your patience and strain your marriage.
During the course of your care, you or your partner may experience a roller coaster of emotions, from
excitement and anticipation to frustration and grief.
Recent studies by Harvard University show that many people experience depression, isolation, anxiety, and
feelings of not being in control when they are undergoing treatment for fertility challenges. These
same studies also show that therapy can greatly reduce symptoms of distress.
