Psychological reactions to involuntary infertility:

It is common for individuals experiencing involuntary infertility to undergo psychological distress. Naturally, this varies from person to person, but often it involves an emotional roller coaster.

Hope and hopelessness, courage and discouragement, worry, longing, envy, despair, and a multitude of other emotions can alternate abruptly. Often, they can even be experienced simultaneously. Well-meaning advice from family or friends can feel burdensome, sometimes even painful. Activities that were once enjoyable and meaningful may now feel dull and pointless. This often affects relationships as well, sometimes strengthening them, but it can also lead to strains and conflicts. The profound uncertainty looms like a shadow, obscuring significant parts of life.

These are just a few examples of the emotions and situations that can be challenging to handle. At the same time, all of these are normal reactions to the life crisis that involuntary infertility often entails. If you or you both would like professional support, you are welcome to contact Klas and schedule an appointment, either in person or through a digital platform.
