Infertility

At vulnerable times in their lives, women experiencing infertility may have mood disorders.

• Women who continually face the disappointment of not conceiving month after month show more frequent signs of grief, depression, and anxiety.
• Most recently, research has shown a relationship between infertility and symptoms of depression. One study found women infertile for over 12 months are twice as likely to report symptoms of depression than women who conceive within the 12 months.
• Women with high anxiety levels have a lower rate of conception.
