Danish Study Looks at the Impact of Infertility on Relationships
Does Infertility Lead to Divorce?
A new study from Denmark looked at how infertility impacted the relationships of over 47,000 women over the course of seven years. At the conclusion of the study, 57 percent of the women had a child, and 43 percent did not. The women who did not have a child were three times more likely to divorce or break up from their partner.
Shady Grove Fertility’s Dr. Stephen Greenhouse says he is not surprised by the research and says, “it’s an emotional roller coaster.” Women and men experiencing infertility often feel angry, guilty, and out of control.
Managing the Stress of Infertility Treatment
- March is Social Worker’s Month. SGF has a team of 10 Social Workers available for group and one-on-one sessions.
Shady Grove Fertility recommends taking measures to help manage stress throughout the fertility journey. Whether that means talking with a counselor, taking up yoga, or doing acupuncture, reducing stress levels will not only make the journey a little bit easier but may have a positive impact on overall treatment success.
