Fertility is something that has always been valued in several cultures and an individual’s wish to
have a child is also known to be one of the basic to motivations. Among women, both
motherhood and pregnancy are seen as a milestone that in most cases tend to be emphasized in
the today’s culture. Whenever such attempt to child fails, such is always considered to be
emotionally devastating experience among the young women. However, for the past two decades
now, there has been some advancement in the field of medicine, something that has made
treatment of the infertility cases to be possible. These high technologies adopted in the
reproduction technologies have been associated with quite a lot of ethical and psychological
issues which has to be addressed only by the two infertile couples.
The inability of both Susan and Peter to meet their important life goal of acquiring a child is
deemed to be very devastating. There are empirical research and clinical observations that has
constantly been used in describing the impacts that tends to be associated with the infertility
impact. According to Menning, (2001), there can be the adoption off the use of the loss and
grieve model in an attempt to explain the experiences that are believed to come as a result of the
infertility case among different individuals. While describing the reactions that are known to
come as a result of the infertility cases, the author tends to relate this with the cases of
depression, anger, withdrawal and guilt that is deemed to follow the result of discovering that
there is an impaired fertility among individuals. In her description, he mainly presented an
observation made upon the couples who were known to seek adoption especially after the

The first reaction that Susan will encounter is surprise. This is something that is considered as the
first stage of infertility. For the past three years in which Peter and Susan have been dating, the
two individuals assumed that pregnancy was going to occur as soon as they had planned. The
two individuals might have examined the techniques of intercourse, timing and frequency to try
and explain the reason as to why they had failed to conceive during the dating period. If Peter
and Susan had told others of the various pregnancy attempts, they can be recipients of most of
this well-intentioned advice from both family and friends. One of the main recommendations that
they have is always to “just relax” and they will get a baby soon. There are also those individuals
that may come up with different advices such as getting a good bedtime rest, restriction of certain
types of foods, and cutting down on certain exercises. Therefore, couples will try to do all these
things to see if they will yield some good fruits especially when it comes to the improvement of
their fertility. The two couples will then try to adopt the use of the prediction ovulation kits to
help them in determining whether there is an ovulation occurring to try and time the intercourse
period properly.
