Therapy for Infertility Issues

For some people, having children does not always follow a straightforward, natural process. It can be distressing to find that you or your partner have a fertility problem.

Fertility issues are more and more common these days, with many couples finding that starting a family is not as easy as they might have thought.

While there are a number of treatments for fertility issues these days, some people find that fertility problems and infertility treatments are upsetting and distressing.

Fertility issues can also bring challenges to both partners in a relationship. Relationships often struggle under the stress and uncertainty that fertility issues can bring,

Both infertility and its treatment can feel overwhelming

There are different kinds of fertility problems for both men and women and various treatments that may be used for these problems. While counselling and psychotherapy are not considered as treatment options for fertility problems, therapy can be very helpful in reducing the stress and other feelings that often come with infertility.

Men and women can experience many emotional and psychological responses to fertility problems and the ensuing treatments. Both infertility and its treatment may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety. A sense of loss, anger, denial, shame, jealousy, fear of abandonment and feelings of being less masculine or less feminine are just some of the feelings people with fertility problems experience.
