People experiencing infertility often find it difficult to understand and cope with the complex feelings that can arise during this trying time. It can also make life difficult at home. Although you and your spouse or partner are experiencing infertility at the same time, you are likely to have different feelings, even widely divergent ones, about your impaired fertility. Misunderstandings often occur, and one or both of you may begin to feel isolated and alone. But going public may also elicit unwittingly insensitive comments, even from the best-intentioned confidant.
