Potential moderators of QoL (gender, parenthood status and recruitment source) were examined in relation to FertiQoL scores. Women had a significantly lower Core FertiQoL ( The relationship between treatment subscales and six treatment persistence items (e.g. likelihood of trying further treatment, couple agreeing to persist, thinking of ending treatment) was also examined. Greater intention to persist with treatment was significantly associated with better Treatment FertiQoL (r(1026) ¼ 0.172, P , 0.001), especially in the Clinic sample (r(206) ¼ 0.289, P ,0.001).
