Year: 2025

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: Infertility is defined as a failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy in one year of having regular and unprotected sexual intercourse. It is additionally described as an impaired ability of a person and/or a couple to reproduce. An urge to conceive has led couples to pursue fertility treatments as well as advanced reproductive technologies. Resilience has been previously found to be crucial for coping with infertility related stress, emotional stability, and quality of life by individuals or couples and a way to cope with fertility treatment.
