Ratgeber Unerfüllter Kinderwunsch

A desire for children that does not spontaneously and promptly come to fruition is a significant challenge for affected couples and often for their close environment as well. There is the fear of having to forgo an important value in life and the despair at the thought of a life without children. The physical examinations in the search for possible medical reasons, perhaps followed by the desire to understand the causes of infertility, and the engagement with treatment options require familiarization with a completely new and complex topic on many levels. Understanding and knowledge facilitate navigation through reproductive medical treatments and support crucial decisions. At the same time, dealing with infertility poses challenges on psychological, relational, and social levels. How does it affect a person when their heartfelt wish does not easily come true? How do other couples experience this? And what coping strategies can help better manage psychosocial challenges?

The future is not in our hands. However, we can continually assess along the way what actions and attitudes can make the burdens more bearable and how to ensure that the unfulfilled desire for children remains an aspect of life that does not overshadow all other areas. This guide supports and accompanies couples during the phase of life when they are dealing with their unfulfilled desire for children. It provides understandable information on the topic and shows through practical suggestions and exercises how to respond adaptively to the challenges.
