Abstract

Individuals and couples all over the world find incapacity to conceive children to be a distressing circumstance. Infertility has a wide range of implications, including societal pressure as well as personal distress.

The medicalization of infertility has unknowingly resulted in a dismissal of couples' emotional responses, which include distress, loss of control, stigmatization, and a disruption in their adult developmental trajectory.
