A study reported by Stockhouse has shown that unsurprisingly fertility problems can affect self esteem in both men and women, and can also lead to problems in a relationship
While women describe themselves as feeling 'flawed' men used the word 'inadequate' to describe their feelings when having trouble conceiving.
The study also found both sexes tried to hide such feelings from their partner and the entire process and stress of seeking fertility treatment often lead to problems and sometimes breakdowns in a relationship.
The study points out that there are resources available to those experiencing difficulties and making full use of these will help with difficult emotions and communication during fertility consultation and treatment.
