Abstract

The extremely difficult circumstances that fertility patients find themselves in force them to reconcile with acute losses and profound uncertainties. Sometimes what hurts the most is the loss of the child desired and imagined (Lesnik-Oberstein, 2008), which becomes a tangible loss in the event of a failed implantation or a miscarriage. Sometimes it is the loss of a partner due to the strain that fertility treatments can put on a relationship (Martins et al., 2014). In other instances, uncertainty about the outcome of treatment can become unbearable.
