Coping Emotionally

Infertility can alter nearly every aspect of a person's life. Self-esteem, dreams for the future, and relationships with others may all be affected. Few situations in life are as challenging and overwhelming. 

Yet the emotional aspects of infertility often go ignored and untreated. Because it is such a private issue, many couples do not share their experiences openly with friends and family. As a result, they feel isolated. But they are not alone. In fact, 10% of couples experience infertility with all the feelings and frustrations that may go with it.
