Emotional impact

  2. Learn about fertility
  3. Emotional impact

The emotional impact of infertility is huge. Feelings of sadness, frustration, isolation, tearfulness, inadequacy, guilt and anger are all common.

Coping Strategies

Coping with infertility is challenging, but at certain times of the year, for example Christmas or Mother’s Day, it may be particularly difficult.

Fertility Problems & Sex

The emotional traumas which are associated with fertility problems are well known to those who long for children.

Stress & Infertility

The plight of those with fertility problems who are under stress does not often hit the headlines, but through no fault of their own, people with fertility problems find themselves caught in a vicious circle.

Men Matter Too

Men, just as much as women, experience the pain and grief of struggling to become parents and feel the emotional and physical fall-out from fertility issues in other areas of their lives.

Families, Parents, Friends & Colleagues.

A guide for friends and relatives of people with fertility problems.

Employment Issues

Coping with fertility issues at work can be extremely stressful, particularly if your employer is not supportive.
