female diagnosis

However unpleasant a diagnosis might be, try to think of it as a milestone which you have reached. It marks your progress on the path to finding a solution to your fertility problems. Irrespective of whether the diagnosis relates to the male or to the female, you and your partner must approach your infertility in partnership.

Approaching infertility can be an exhausting experience. You will not only be dealing with the emotional ups and downs, but must constantly adapt to new unknowns– new doctors, new terminology and so on. You and your partner must ensure you both become familiar with this new terminology relatively quickly so that you can fully understand what is going on. Naturally, within the diagnosis phase, you want to know as much as you can about your disorder. By keeping up to date, you will gain more control over the situation and be better prepared for the treatment phase.

In order to achieve a better understanding of your problem, some research work might be necessary. The information in this section is a valuable source of help.
