What they are
A man and a woman deciding to have a child face a critical phase in life, both as individuals and as a couple, as they transition from being children to the more complex role of becoming parents.
In the journey from the desire for a child to conception, some obstacles may arise, sometimes purely organic in nature, while other times they are psychological (stress, anxiety…).
A procreative difficulty, especially if without a defined cause, can undermine the sense of individual completeness, self-confidence, one’s possibilities, and the future, affecting the foundation of the couple and thus forcing a redefinition of shared plans. Psychological reactions can influence the spouses’ mood, disturb their relationships with each other, and affect their friendships and family connections.
