Midwest Fertility Center: Talking About Infertility

It is not easy for a couple to admit they are struggling to conceive especially if they've been trying for a while. Many couples dream of a family to call their own and become disheartened to think infertility may be the cause. The doctors and staff at Midwest Fertility Center respect that this is a sensitive and emotional issue and take the utmost care when talking and caring for their patients. 

The doctors and staff at Midwest Fertility Center believe the best way to build a doctor-client relationship is by building trust. The fertility specialists know their work is important to their patients on a personal level and therefore try to provide as much information as possible to each patient. The fertility specialists at Midwest Fertility Center want to maintain open and honest communication through patient education. 

In addition to building confidence in the doctor-patient relationship, Midwest Fertility Center works with couples so they are better prepared to talk to others about infertility.  Couples struggling to conceive may not feel comfortable sharing their conception trouble with friends or family. At Midwest Fertility Center, the staff and fertility specialists know that well-intentioned family members or friends may give their own advice without realizing their emotionally damaging words. 

Midwest Fertility Center has heard repeated stories that relaxing will lead to conception. However, Midwest Fertility Center arms patients with education so infertile patients can explain to family and friends that infertility is a medical condition like any other and the fertility treatments can help an infertile couple conceive. Above all, the staff at Midwest Fertility Center wants their patients to be comfortable in their decision to share or not share their information. Midwest Fertility Center's main message to patients is to be direct about what you want, share only what you are comfortable with, and that staff are available to talk to for questions.
