When a couple tries to have a baby but are unable to, infertility occurs. The time line given by most doctors for conception is one year. If, within the year time period no baby is conceived, then fertility problems is what the couple may be diagnosed with.
There are many causes that can make it difficult to have a baby at a desired time. An example would be health problems in both men and women. Couples can still suffer a lot of emotions even if being health related is no ones fault.
When couples deal with having trouble conceiving, it’s the same as dealing with grief. The first stage is shock or denial. One or both of them may have trouble with the situation and believing it to be real.
Questioning the doctor’s verdict even after a second or third opinion is part of this stage. The second stage is anger. The feelings of hopes or expectations being crushed is the result of this anger.
The anger might be for one another, for the diagnosis or for life in general. Bargaining or guilt is the next stage. This is the internal dialogue that begins with thoughts like, “If only I’d done this or not done that.”
The fourth stage of emotion is depression. You feel all alone and believe no one can understand how you feel. Getting out of bed is hard and you don’t even feel pleasure in the things you used to like.
Acceptance is the final stage. During this stage, the couples sit down and start to cope with their circumstances. Undergoing treatment or taking other routes to have a child is what they can decide on.
You and your partner dealing with the condition is a personal decision. Rather than sweep the topic under the rug, it’s better if you talk about it even if you’re afraid to because of the pain it involved.
Talk to your family and friends about how you’d like the subject handled around you. You can be upset or discouraged by thoughtless remarks even though people do mean well. Not knowing what to say to a couple going through a difficult time like this is what friends and family are sometimes guilty of.
The uncomfortable feeling might lead friends or family to withdraw leaving the couple feeling even more isolated. It’s up to you to tell them whether you’re comfortable talking about it or if you’d rather they respect your privacy. It’s important to let them know the best way to offer the support they want to give you.
Closing yourself and taking the grief inward is easy even to the one facing the problem with you. However, what you need to do is stay tuned in as a couple and work together through the stages.
