The decision to pursue or not pursue extensive fertility testing and treatment is an extremely personal one and should ultimately me made by the couple involved. It is not a decision that should be made under pressure from the family and friends nor should it be made under pressure of age.

However, whether you decide for or against having a child, it is a decision that could affect the rest of your lives. Before deciding to pursue having a child, a couple should evaluate their reasons for wanting a child as well as consider what their lives would be like without children.
Some childless couples have very rich lives and are perfectly happy without children.
Another aspect to consider is the expense and time involved in treatment for infertility.

Above all, discuss this extensively as a couple as it is decision that will impact both your lives and you should both be happy with your decision. If after discussing this issue as a couple and you cannot resolve it, speak with your physician about your feelings. Your physician may be able to answer questions that are blocking your decision making process.
