Even in the most loving relationships, unhealthy patterns of behavior may emerge during infertility. One or both partners are often depressed, and they can move in a downward spiral toward isolation and despair.
Couples say they feel socially isolated and the pressure to conceive inevitably affects the partnership. One partner can blame the other, sex becomes mechanical and communication can break down.
Despite these difficult circumstances, there are concrete things that can be done to help relationships flourish. In this webinar, Beth Jaeger-Skigen will assist you gently some advice and guidance to regain intimacy during infertility.
