Studies show that involuntary infertility affects a couple’s relationship and that it is a difficult time in life, regardless of where the cause of infertility is found. Partners may experience and deal with infertility in different ways and at a different pace, and this may complicate their relationship. However, it is not advisable to try and deal with the problems alone.

It is useful to talk about involuntary infertility and the conflicts it causes in your relationship and in your body, sexuality, and well-being with a specialist familiar with the issue. The Family Federation’s clinics can offer professional counseling services or direct you to where competent help is best available.
