M.D. Most little girls grow up believing that someday they will be able to have children. In actuality, one out of six couples are unable to conceive a child. When some women grow up and find that they are unable to conceive, the news can be devastating.

She may feel betrayed by a body that will not perform its biological duty. She may feel guilty for having waited until career goals were fulfilled before trying to get pregnant. These, unfortunately, are normal reactions.
