Infertility is considered as one of the most stressful situation that any couple has to go through. The treatments for it can contribute to the stress that the couple goes through. Just by knowing that the treatment can add stress, the couple get more stress and it can worsen their chances of getting pregnancy.
But what are some of the factors behind infertility stress? What causes it?
Firstly, it can begin from knowing they are infertile. After having sex for a long time, the couple is unable to have child and they seek medicial attention. One or both could very well end up feeling depressed and inadequate when the specialist diagnosis say it is due to infertility.
Secondly, the couple may has decided to undergo infertility treatments. Such treatments can prove exceedingly and prohibitively expensive depending on the treatments required. Undergoing this treatment itself can add to their stress.
And the process itself of having to go in and out of doctors' waiting rooms and hospitals, among other places, waiting with bated breath for results can surely add more stress on top of the existing stress,
Thirdly, even the act of lovemaking itself may contribute to the stress. Many couples may not be able to get past the fact that they are unable to bear children through "the usual way", through making love, and this can make things very hard for them because if they are unable to consummate the sexual act, they may have to make recourse to more medical procedures.
In addition, sex may feel forced and even something of a chore for the couple, since they would have to be doing it according to a schedule and in order to produce children instead of simply enjoying one another and/or giving each other pleasure.
Having to go through fertility treatments can be very demeaning for men. They may feel emasculated and feel that they are responsible if they are unable to produce babies with their wives. It is also extremely embarrassing for them to talk about issue like low sperm count or erectile problems with the doctor or producing sperm in the doctor office.
Some couples can simply take it in stride and be positive even in the face of potential failure; others can be negative right at the outset even if the future for them might not be so bleak, and immediately contemplate having to adopt children while agonizing over how unfair things seem to be, and so on and so forth. This can result in a drastic lowering of self-esteem for couples and individuals. Therefore It is extremely important to consider how the couple responds to such stress in the first place.
Infertility can cause many couples to go through extreme strain. Many couples buckle under this strain, and many of them end up breaking up. There are some who end up stronger couples after going through this experience. - 26706
