A narrative approach was used to examine the experiences of 65 infertile couples that had undergone various types of medical investigations and treatments, ranging from the use of fertility drugs to repeated attempts at conception using other reproductive technologies, in their efforts to produce a child. Participants, who had pursued medical solutions to their fertility problems for an average of 5 years, reflected on their experiences during in-depth interviews. The shared narrative that characterized their experiences is presented, and recommendations are made to assist those who work with families in meeting the needs of couples as they attempt to cope with the challenges of making decisions about, and coping with, infertility treatments.
