Some insist that it is every women s right, and as we are such a consumer oriented society, it is something we take for granted until it doesn t happen for us. Most couples expect that when they want to have a child they will. The experience of trying to conceive and deliver a healthy baby can often be an emotionally painful one. Infertility, like the death of a child, is often a subject of taboo. Celebrations such as Christmas and Mother s and Father s Day can be painful reminders of others successes and your failure.
Infertility is an extremely isolating experience.
A successful resolution with or without a baby, but with your sanity and relationship intact ultimately depends on your approach and attitude. You must continue every step of the way to assess what is right for you as a couple and how far you will go to achieve parenthood. Many women feel a sense of failure over infertility that they haven t fulfilled their role as a woman and wife. Trying unsuccessfully to conceive over a long period of time can be a lonely, frustrating business. Before you know it, you become obsessed and your whole world begins to revolve around producing a child.
