The Emotional Pain of Infertility

Infertility causes feelings of inexpressible grief in people when mourning the loss of an imagined future or anticipated role as a parent. This grief is only intensified by external pressures that tie fertility to notions of womanhood or masculinity, often leaving those facing infertility feeling inadequate or stigmatized. Repeated medical treatments and cycles of hope followed by disappointment only add to the emotional distress already being felt. 

Offering policyholders coverage for counseling services provides relief and helps to alleviate the psychological burden caused by the emotional pain of infertility.
